Sunburn Targeting Built on Contextual Signals

Sunburn is Skin Damage caused by too much UV exposure from the Sun, and people search for Sunburn Treatment and Sunburn Relief over 300,000 times a month worldwide, across Sunburn Blisters, Peeling Skin, Sun Poisoning and Severe Sunburn. Some are treating fresh Sunburn in the hours after a day outdoors, while others are managing Blisters, Peeling and Itching in the days that follow. Either way, it is a highly engaged Audience actively researching how to cool, soothe and heal the Sunburn they have.

Healthy Ads reaches these people through Contextual Targeting. Instead of relying on Third Party Audience Segments, we place your Sunburn Ads directly alongside the content they are reading, next to articles like “How to Treat Sunburn Fast”, “How Long Does Sunburn Last” and “How to Get Rid of Sunburn Redness Overnight”. It is privacy safe, runs on brand safe, premium inventory, and delivers worldwide.

The Sunburn Audience

People researching Sunburn cut across every age and every setting, from a parent searching how to treat a child’s Sunburn after a day at the beach, to a traveller nursing Sun Poisoning on holiday, to an outdoor worker or athlete facing repeat exposure all summer. Two stages of intent sit side by side: the immediate rush to cool and soothe a fresh Sunburn, where people want fast relief, and the days that follow, where they are managing Blisters, Peeling, Itching and broken Skin. Many are ready to buy on the spot, reaching for After Sun, Aloe Vera Gel, Hydrocortisone Cream and Pain Relief. It is a seasonal, high volume Audience with clear, urgent intent and a strong Repeat Purchase pattern through the warmer months.

Why Advertise Around Sunburn Content?

Someone reading a page about how to treat Sunburn is in the moment of need, which makes them highly relevant to advertisers of After Sun, Sun Care and Skin Care. Sunburn content can live on Health websites, but just as often it is a single relevant article within a News, Sport, Travel, Food, Lifestyle, Parenting or Family site. URL level targeting finds these high intent pages, even when nothing else on the site relates to Sunburn.
