Happy Friday Mate!<\/p>\n

Hope you\u2019ve had a swell week and your campaigns are crushing it<\/u> online =)<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been busy \u2013 as always \u2013 in the NativeAdBuzz office, and once again (weeks are going by fast, huh!?) it\u2019s time for our weekly Top 5.<\/p>\n

In today\u2019s email, we\u2019re going to look at some down-right weird\u2026 wacky\u2026 and crazy Native Ads we\u2019ve seen inside the NativeAdBuzz panel.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not already a NativeAdBuzz member, you can take advantage of an exclusive $7 trial by clicking here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s get to it!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

  1. Bet You\u2019ve Never Seen A Delta Winged Jet Do This Before \u2013 Unbelievable!<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"Screenshot_1\"<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Erm\u2026<\/p>\n

    Do *what* exactly\u2026?<\/p>\n

    Land?<\/p>\n

    Take off?<\/p>\n

    Well, here in the NativeAdBuzz office we\u2019re not entirely sure\u2026 but we like this ad, just because the intrigue factor does genuinely make you want to click-through, and find out what <\/em>exactly this Delta Winged Jet is apparently doing!<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    1. 17 Creepiest Abandoned Places Worldwide<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \"Screenshot_2\"<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Well\u2026 we\u2019re not fortune-tellers here at NativeAdBuzz, but one thing IS for sure;<\/p>\n

      If Michael Jackson\u2019s \u2018Neverland\u2019 doesn\u2019t claim the #1 spot on this list\u2026 something\u2019s wrong.<\/p>\n

      (Although\u2026 admittedly, his \u2018amusement\u2019 park probably made this list long before it was abandoned!)<\/em><\/p>\n

      Now, note that this ad has seen steady traffic for almost a year, and while there are<\/em> gaps in performance, generally it\u2019s a very<\/em> strong example of an effective Native Ad.<\/p>\n

      There\u2019s no selling\u2026 no pitching\u2026 and no gimmicks\u2026<\/p>\n

      Just a straight-up curiosity piece, that naturally<\/em> gets you wanting to click through!<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

        \n
      1. What Lies Have Been Written About You Online?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        \"Screenshot_3\"<\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        Alright; so\u2026 we don\u2019t really care whether this ad is doing well or not\u2026<\/p>\n

        Because the image \u2013 WOW.<\/p>\n

        LOL.<\/p>\n

        Well\u2026 we\u2019re not sure that\u2019s the most suitable image for the headlines context, but it\u2019s so eye-grabbing, it achieves the \u2018instant-attention-factor\u2019 many online ads lack.<\/p>\n

        Seriously\u2026<\/p>\n

        Any time you can capture a reader\u2019s attention\u2026 and keep it, long enough for them to click your ad\u2026<\/p>\n

        You\u2019re doing something right.<\/p>\n

        And if you can do this with more of your<\/em> ads\u2026 you\u2019ll see MUCH higher CTR\u2019s (and more money!<\/p>\n

        1. Teach These Female Celebrities How To Get Out Of a Car<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          \"Screenshot_4\"<\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

          So here\u2019s an unusual ad.<\/p>\n

          (And one that does VERY well)<\/p>\n

          You see, the headline copy is written as though it\u2019s talking to you \u2013 giving you an order.<\/p>\n

          It captivates you\u2026 puts you on the spot\u2026 and makes you feel \u2018forced\u2019 to read on.<\/p>\n

          This hard-lined approach doesn\u2019t always<\/em> work\u2026 and it can be really hard to get right\u2026<\/p>\n

          But when you DO manage to \u2018nail\u2019 this angle, you can see big changes with your campaigns CTR.<\/p>\n

          If you do <\/em>decide to take this approach, try to resonate with your market. Put them on the spot. Give them an ultimatum. Warn them about what happens if they DON\u2019T do as you ask.<\/p>\n

          It\u2019s not easy, but do it RIGHT, and the rewards speak for themselves.<\/p>\n

          (And\u2026 erm\u2026 come on \u2013 you know<\/em> you\u2019d be happy to help her out the car\u2026 \ud83d\ude09 \u2026)<\/p>\n

            Oh damnnnnnnnnnnn!!!<\/p>\n

            Potato lovers\u2026 watch out\u2026<\/p>\n

            You\u2019re going to die a long, painful, tormenting death.<\/p>\n

            Just kidding!!<\/p>\n

            But seriously; WTF is that image all about. We\u2019d just ordered pizza in the NativeAdBuzz office\u2026 but we\u2019ve had to cancel =(<\/p>\n

            We all feel sick.<\/p>\n

            Because of one stupid image.<\/p>\n

            Bloody Native Ads!<\/p>\n

            Buttttt; see how this ad got us talking?! Their ad \u2013 while not doing well \u2013 has found itself in front of NativeAdBuzz badasses like YOU\u2026<\/p>\n

            And it just goes to show, weird marketing can<\/em> something be good marketing!<\/u><\/p>\n

            So there you have it;<\/p>\n

            Some weird ads\u2026<\/p>\n

            Disturbing ads\u2026<\/p>\n

            And down-right crazy<\/em> ads!<\/p>\n

            Hopefully you\u2019ve managed to get a little bit of inspiration for your<\/em> new Native Ad campaign\u2026<\/p>\n

            But if you want even more \u2013 and want to start looking at how your competitors are advertising \u2013 you\u2019ll want to take advantage of your exclusive $7 NativeAdBuzz trial offer.<\/p>\n
