In this blog, we’ll take a look at push advertising and pull advertising, and how you can use them to reach your target audience and achieve your marketing goals.

Push and pull advertising are two different approaches to marketing that have their own pros and cons. So, which one should you use? Read on to find out!
What is push advertising?
Push advertising is when you see ads pop up on your screen without looking for them. Companies pay to show you these ads to get your attention. It is used for the following objectives in digital marketing:
Awareness
Push advertising help create brand awareness and increase visibility for a product or service, particularly among people who may not have been actively looking for it.
Reach
It is an effective way to reach a large number of potential customers quickly and efficiently, particularly through mediums like TV and social media.
Call-to-action
Push advertising is particularly effective in encouraging people to take action, whether it’s to buy a product, sign up for a service, or visit a website
Examples
Sharing some easy examples below for your better understanding and not wanting to be a boring writer.
Pop-up Ads
These are ads that appear in a separate window or tab
when you visit a website or perform a specific action, such as clicking on a link or scrolling down a page.
Email Marketing
Email marketing campaigns involve sending promotional emails to subscribers or people on a purchased email list.
Push Advertising Challenges

and not wanting to be a boring writer.
Risk of backlash, intrusiveness
Push advertising campaigns can sometimes lead to negative publicity and be intrusive.
To avoid this, you should create engaging and personalised content and provide an easy way to opt-out.
Audience resistance
Users are more likely to ignore or block ads that they find irrelevant, annoying, or intrusive. To overcome this, you should use targeted and personalised messages, and listen to their feedback to adjust your marketing strategies.
What is Pull advertising?
Have you ever noticed that sometimes when you Google something, you start seeing its ads everywhere online?
This approach is called Pull marketing and via this advertisers target their ads to the interested audience.
That’s what we call pull advertising. Companies create ads that are specifically targeted to people like you who are already interested in their product or service.
Pull advertising is used for following objectives in digital marketing
More Conversion Rates
Consumers actively seek out a brand’s products or services in pull marketing, which results in higher conversion rates. This indicates a higher level of interest and intention to purchase.
Brand Visibility
By creating valuable and engaging content, pull marketing can help to increase a brand’s visibility and awareness among potential customers.
Improved Targeting
Pull marketing is effective at reaching the target audience since it relies on consumer interest and intent. Brands can focus their efforts on those who are already interested in what they have to offer.
Examples
Content Marketing: This strategy involves creating valuable, informative, and entertaining content, such as:
Blog Posts
Bloggers promote products or services within their blog content. It is effective but requires transparency with the blogger’s values and customer’s interests.
It is easiest to do. You don’t need any fancy tech, just a normal wordpress blog or linkedin article, status will work.
Video Ads
Videos – Advertisers place ads within online videos to promote their products or services but the ads should be engaging, relevant, and aligned with the brand values. But it is really hard to create, I don’t want you to demotivate but a good video requires a camera, scripting and editing skills.

Requires High-Quality Content And Strategy
Pull advertising requires high-quality content according to the targeted audience and strategic planning to build brand identity.
Competitive Landscape
Since pulling marketing targets consumers who are actively seeking out information, the competition is high.
So, which approach should you choose?
The answer is: it depends. There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question. The best approach for you will depend on your specific goals and target audience.
No matter which type of advertising you choose, make sure that your ads are engaging and relevant to your target audience. That way, you’ll be more likely to get their attention and achieve your marketing goals.
And remember, there’s no need to choose between push and pull advertising. You can use both approaches to create a well-rounded marketing strategy that reaches a wider audience and achieves your goals faster.
