SMS Advertising CPM Rate

SMS - is an Short Message Service known also as text messaging service component of phone, web, or mobile communication systems.All ad networks have seen a surge in in-app advertising in the US particularly. InMobi reports that 60 percent of its US revenue is from mobile apps, compared to 17 percent worldwide. But it is mobiThinking’s belief that demand for in-app ads today isn’t coming from brand advertisers, it’s coming, largely, from companies that are promoting their own mobile apps. As there are so many mobile apps and relatively few people to download them (as most apps can only be downloaded to a particular type of device), developers need to promote them heavily to stand any chance of success – and the obvious place to promote them is within other mobile apps, though only the successful ones.

Since app developers are interested in downloads as opposed to brand awareness, then surely they will want to purchase performance advertising i.e. cost per click (CPC) or cost per download (CPD), rather than CPM, which is for brand advertising? With CPC or CPD advertisers are not paying $2.50 for a thousand ad impression, they are paying nothing for the ads unless the user clicks through/downloads the ad, which pays a few cents each.

There is a perception that brand advertisers are put off mobile ad because there isn’t enough inventory to buy – this perhaps is the agenda that Flurry is driving towards with this research – but it is difficult to see why brands would be that interested in these niche markets, however much inventory is available, unless they have an app to promote.
