Performance-based Display Advertising

Pay only for actual clicks

 In performance-based advertising, you only pay for actual clicks. The cost per click depends on the performance of the campaign, and each ad format has its own base price. Performance-based advertising is often the most cost-effective way to drive traffic to your website.

Social Display (picture, video or carousel)

Social Display is an impressive, effective tactical ad format when you want to drive traffic to your website, generate conversions or improve the reach of your Facebook advertising. Social Display can be either a link ad or a CTA ad with CPC pricing. The ad can consist of a video, an image or a carousel.

  • Social Display can also be produced in carousel format.
  • Use the material link sent after booking to upload texts *, the main image or video and your logo.

Performance-based Native Ad

tuotenoston ulkoasu

A performance-based native is a click-priced ad running on Sanoma's network. The ad directs to the advertiser's own pages or other native content. The native ad is clearly labeled as an advertisement, distinguishing it from journalistic content, but still merging it into the general coverage of the media.

The tactical native ad appears through the front pages and article pages of Sanoma's network, and visibility is achieved on desktop, mobile and tablet.

  • Image 600 x 314, max. 80 kB
  • Headline max. 90 characters
  • Lead max. 150 characters
  • Advertiser: (the advertiser's name as it should be displayed in the highlight)
  • The Performance-based Native also has an activation text "Read more". It is automatically added  to the ad and you don't need to provide it separately.

  • No full stops are used in the headline. A question mark, dash or colon are ok.  We do not recommend the use of exclamation marks. 
    • For example: Do you know the everyday salt bombs to watch out for? OR Many eat too much salt every day without knowing it OR Your first bike is like your first love – see the amazing pictures of bikers
  • The headline and lead should be grammatically correct and written in good Finnish
  • Clicking should redirect to content which is in line with the headline and lead (not e.g. a product catalogue, the frontpage of the company website or an online shop). The content must deliver what the headline has promised.
  • Writers should find out how similar topics have been headlined and illustrated in the selected media before.

Targeting Performance-based Display Advertising

Targeting options are divided into two categories: interest target groups and other target groups. In the interest target groups, you can choose only one defining targeting option at a time, in addition to which you can choose one targeting option from the other target groups. It is also possible to only choose one targeting option from the other target groups.

If you wish, you can choose multiple targeting options using the condition “or”, for example, “Business and Investing” OR “Education”, in which case those belonging to both target groups will see the ad.

Tips for creating ads

In performance-based advertising, the role of ads is further emphasized. The ad must be clearly structured and appealing to your target group. Here are some things to keep in mind when designing ads for a performance-based campaign:

The right kind of advertising message is an effective way to target advertising to your target audience

  • Use an advertising message to address the right target group.
  • Make your case clear and simple and take all the extra information to landing pages.

You can have more than one ad version per ad format. The appropriate number of ad variants depends on the campaign structure, budget and campaign time. 

  • The system's automatic optimization selects the ad versions that work the best. We can't guarantee consistent visibility for all ad versions.
