Calendar Ads – How to Promote them
Calendar is a new ad format, where the ads are scheduled directly on the device’s calendar of the user. Just like push notifications, the user needs to agree previously to receive the ads. The possibility of personalized communication and the limited volumes are two of the reasons why this ad format has such high performance in digital campaigns.
Calendar ads will be displayed in all the iOS devices – iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. If they are sync, the notifications will be delivered to all users iOS devices through iCloud and Google calendar.
Key advantages:
- Reach iPhone users
- Higher CTRs
- No visual competition from other ads or other content
- The user has agreed to receive ads

So when should you use calendar ads?
Calendar is not cheap and there aren’t a lot of volumes available. For these reasons, this ad format should be used for campaigns that were already tested and where your goal is to get top quality traffic rather than huge volumes (to scale). Also, this ad format is not recommended for campaigns with a low CPA target.
