eMarketer recently presented what ads that annoy users, their summary;

“Users tend to prefer less intrusive formats and contextually appropriate ads. Users know they need ads to enjoy free media but want advertisers to be respectful”.

Earlier I learned that in mobile GPS-navigation customers appreciate timely, contextual content, especially when delivered within the customer journey, for example driving a route from a b notified with “There’s a congestion ahead, we can detour you and save 30-min”, very appreciated.

But delivering info ahead of the customer journey was not that appreciated, for example presenting a route ahead of user interaction, based on earlier google search, was seen a negative experience.

Our conclusion what users see as annoying ads:

  • Pop-ups with content and video ahead of customer journey, not appreciated.
  • Presenting ads that are not relevant nor smart, i.e. ads presented after purchase are annoying.
