SOCIAL MEDIA ADS PASSING AS POSTS: HOW ADVERTISING SLIPS INTO INSTAGRAM

Instagram users routinely underestimate how many ads appear in their feeds as platforms are designing promotions to blend with organic posts. In tests with 152 participants, nearly one-third of posts were ads, yet most failed to notice the volume. Users engaged with the content at rates similar to organic posts when advertising cues like “Buy Now” buttons or logos were subtle. The findings show how banner blindness has evolved into seamless ad absorption.

WHAT'S A GOOD CONVERSION RATE?

A good benchmark for landing page performance is an overall median conversion rate of 6.6%, though results depend heavily on industry. Ecommerce and SaaS pages typically convert around 4% at the median, but strong campaigns can achieve nearly 3X that rate. Professional services and financial services outperform the average with medians above 6% and 8% respectively, while the travel and hospitality sector can climb past 15% at the high end. Entertainment campaigns stand out with average conversion rates above 12%.

Brainlabs tested adding Broadcaster YouTube content to a Unified CTV campaign with Netflix and YouTube during the Women's Euros.

It drove a 77% lift in product search and 61% in brand search, capturing engagement spikes after key matches. Brand-safe content like highlights and interviews extended audience attention, showing that combining Broadcaster YouTube with Unified CTV improves reach, frequency, and performance in a fragmented market.

SELLING ON AMAZON BOOSTS YOUR DIRECT SALES TOO

Selling on online marketplaces is a cost effective way for small or new brands to acquire customers and drive direct website sales. Research found that every 71 sales on a marketplace led to one customer switching to the brand's website. Customer acquisition costs were lower on marketplaces compared to owned websites. Brands can use marketplaces to gain visibility and then encourage repeat buyers to purchase directly by offering unique products, benefits, or promotions on their own sites.
