Best practice Native Responsive format

Recommended:

  • Use an evocative image not focused on product, but calling to some action
  • Write complete sentences
  • Give as much information as you can in summary
  • Use humor or ask questions in order to arouse the interest of the audience and capture their attention
  • Make a promise to propose a solution for a need

To avoid:

  • No text or logo must appear into the evocative images
  • No price should appear in titles
  • The brand name must not appear in the titles
  • Do not exceed the recommended number of characters

Redirect (not applicable to native responsive format)
