Sea Sickness Targeting Built on Contextual

Sea Sickness, also called Seasickness or Boat Sickness, is a form of Motion Sickness that strikes on the water, when the movement your inner ear senses aboard a boat, ferry or cruise ship does not match what your eyes see, bringing on nausea, cold sweats, dizziness, pale skin and vomiting. It affects first time cruisers and seasoned sailors alike, and as one of the most searched travel health complaints it draws well over 40,000 searches a month worldwide, spanning symptoms, causes, prevention, remedies and medication.

Healthy Ads reaches these people through Contextual Targeting. Instead of relying on Third Party Audience Segments, we place your Sea Sickness Ads directly alongside the content people are reading, next to articles like “How To Stop Sea Sickness”, “What Causes Sea Sickness” and “Best Sea Sickness Medicine”. It is privacy safe, runs on brand safe, premium inventory, and delivers worldwide.

The Sea Sickness Audience

The Sea Sickness Audience centres on people who spend time on the water, from cruise passengers and ferry commuters to boaters, sailors, anglers and whale watching tourists, plus the parents and partners buying remedies for a queasy traveller. It skews toward people planning a cruise or boating trip, or already on board and searching for fast relief. It is a high intent, repeat behaviour Audience: people move from asking what causes Sea Sickness to comparing tablets, patches, wristbands and natural remedies, then restock the ones that work before the next voyage. That replenishment behaviour, Over the Counter Sea Sickness remedies bought trip after trip, is what makes the Audience valuable to advertisers. Reaching them contextually, while they read about symptoms, prevention and relief, puts your brand in front of people in market for a solution, with no reliance on sensitive health data or cookies.

Why Advertise Around Sea Sickness Content?

Someone reading a page specifically about Sea Sickness is actively looking for relief for themselves or someone they care for, which makes them highly relevant to advertisers. That content might sit on one of the major Health websites, or appear as a single relevant article within a News, Sport, Travel, Food, Lifestyle, Ageing, Parenting or Family website. URL level targeting finds these high intent pages, even when nothing else on the site relates to Sea Sickness.
