Listen up, advertisers! The age of the right-hand column ad isn’t over just yet. While you may be one of the many advertisers giving up on right-hand column ads as their performances are constantly declining (even though their prices are cheaper), certain elements are shifting — and that may be a good thing.
First, a little background: While right-hand column ads have recently been trumped by News Feed ads, Facebook is unveiling some changes, specifically in the design department. In a recent blog post, Facebook unveiled a revamped look that will make right-hand column ads more consistent with ads that appear in the News Feed. In addition, they will be larger in size and use the same proportions as desktop News Feed ads.
