Why Apple’s New iPad Will Transform Online Advertising
March 7, 2012
Ever since the debut of the first iPad two years ago, marketers have been jazzed about the potential of tablets as a new advertising platform. Yet to date, revenues from advertising on tablets have been underwhelming, because marketers haven’t yet caught up to a medium that essentially didn’t exist until a year or so ago. Because of the lack of standards that exist both in print and online, says Rex Briggs, CEO of the marketing analytics firm Marketing Evolution, “mobile advertising especially on tablets is not getting its fair share of advertising dollars.”
Today, however, we have the new iPad, due out March 16. And it could change the game.

But several features of this new model likely will help accelerate tablet advertising this year.
