Mobile Ads for CBD & Cannabis

According to Inc., the average person spends more than four hours per day on their mobile device, meaning mobile ads are a must in any industry. When building programmatic mobile campaigns, businesses can target based on mobile activity—for instance, people who’ve downloaded cannabis apps like WeedMaps, Leafly, or Eaze.

 

Another popular mobile marketing technique is known as geofencing: Using mobile data, cannabis and CBD advertisers can target adults near certain locations that may be relevant to their campaign, such as music festivals, industry events, or competing cannabis stores.

 

Native Ads for CBD & Cannabis

Native advertisements are ads that blend into the surrounding content of the platform they’re shown on. A few basic creative elements—copy, an image, and a click-through link—are all it takes to run native advertisements in a wide variety of locations.

Running native ads on mainstream websites can work well for cannabis and CBD brands because the surrounding content normalizes the ad: For many people, clicking on a cannabis ad will feel less intimidating when it’s not on a site like High Times.

 

Digital Audio Ads for CBD & Cannabis

Audio represents an up-and-coming ad format in the programmatic landscape, and the share of audio ads is expected to increase significantly in the coming years. Benefits of audio advertising include a high likelihood of an engaged audience (think commuters sitting in traffic) and 100% share of voice during your audio spot (i.e., no one else’s advertisement is playing during those 30 seconds).

Connected TV Ads for CBD & Cannabis

Another up-and-coming channel for programmatic advertising, connected TVs offer many of the same benefits that streaming audio channels do, including an engaged audience, 100% share of voice, and the ability to leverage this channel early before other cannabis businesses start to. Connected TV ads aren’t governed by the same rules as broadcast TV ads, and they allow advertisers to reach potential customers in the comfort of their own homes.

Emerging Advertising Techniques for CBD & Cannabis

A few key channels are currently trending for cannabis ads in the programmatic space, including digital audio, connected TV, and geofenced mobile. In the next few years, we expect brands to begin adding some budget for digital out of home, or DOOH, inventory like digital billboards. Voice advertising is also expected to become a major channel as virtual assistants become pervasive
