As Kuaishou’s popularity continues to rise, it has also launched an official marketing platform for advertisers to place Kuaishou information flow ads and provide Internet marketing services to businesses.

2. Introduction to Kuaishou Advertising

1. Kuaishou information flow advertising

Kuaishou launched information flow advertising in 2017. After continuous delivery, optimization and upgrading, it has accumulated a huge amount of user data, which has also made Kuaishou's advertising delivery more accurate and the advertising effect better.

Kuaishou’s information flow ads have significant differences and unique advantages in promotion methods compared to traditional search ads. Traditional search advertising is a "user looking for merchants" model, that is, users trigger the display of merchant ads by searching for relevant keywords, and users choose suitable merchants based on their interests.

Kuaishou's information flow uses big data algorithms based on users' behavior on the Internet to infer users' potential needs and label them. Merchants can then place advertisements based on the labels of their potential customers, which can greatly increase product exposure and gain the attention of users who are interested in the products. Kuaishou marketing platform has the following four advantages:

① Traffic dividend: The traffic dividend period of the short video industry and the good advertising environment of the Kuaishou platform allow advertisements to reach people accurately.

② Laotie Economy: Kuaishou has formed a unique "community", and the "Laotie Economy" makes social stickiness stronger.

③ Technology-driven: With 7 years of experience in the short video industry, we adhere to the principle of "decentralization" and achieve personalized matching of content and users through technology-driven development.

④Diverse content: rich and authentic content, easy to operate.

2. Location of Kuaishou ads

Kuaishou’s information flow ads appear in the 5th or 6th video position each time the discovery page is refreshed. That is, every time a user opens the Kuaishou AP or pulls down to view new video content, the ads appear in the 5th or 6th video from top to bottom. Why is it 5th or 6th, not a fixed 5th? Since the covers of Kuaishou videos vary in size, the display position of advertisements will be adjusted according to the needs of the layout.

Notice:

① The 5th and 6th positions are video positions, but ads are not displayed every time you refresh the page; the specific display format is pushed by the backend based on the algorithm;

② In order to ensure the effectiveness of advertising, Kuaishou will not push ads to new users who have downloaded/registered within 7 days. Because the platform obtains limited effective information about newly registered users, it is difficult to accurately locate them. However, after users have used the APP for a period of time, the platform will be able to understand their potential needs and provide better advertising services for merchants.

3. Display style of Kuaishou video information flow ads

①User discovery page

This is the effect that appears when the user opens Kuaishou or refreshes the page, that is, the merchant advertisement style displayed in the 5th or 6th video position. This will also be the display effect when you place an advertisement.

②Video playback page

After the user clicks "Advertisement Video", they will enter the video playback page. The top of the page contains the "Advertisement Video" uploaded by us, and the bottom contains the advertisement information, including advertisement links, etc. The advertisement links below usually point to our landing page or directly download the APP.

③ Landing page

The page we enter after clicking the link below "Advertising Video" can be provided by ourselves or quickly built using Kuaishou's tools. The landing page is the direct conversion page of the advertisement. There are four main types of landing pages:

a. Orders are placed through e-commerce platforms, which can be third-party e-commerce platforms (Taobao, Tmall, JD.com, Vipshop, Pinduoduo, etc.) or self-built e-commerce platforms;

b. Form collection: this type of user generally collects customer information and then sales staff conducts follow-up development, mainly in the fields of financial loans, education and training, and second-tier e-commerce;

c. Application download, targeting advertisers with application download needs, such as game download, application download, etc.

d. Brand activities, for advertisers promoting brand activities

Information flow advertising is widely applicable to various brands and performance advertisers, supporting a variety of application scenarios and promotion needs:

① Application installation: Information flow advertising promotes users’ download, installation, activation and other behaviors

② E-commerce ordering: Information flow advertising helps acquire users, and complete browsing, ordering, and purchasing through Taobao

③Brand activity promotion: Get users to visit the landing page through information flow advertising

④Sales lead collection: Complete sales lead collection through information flow advertising

⑤ Improve application activity: support recalling old users or improving user activity through deeplink

⑥ Topic Challenge Promotion:

Directly land on the advertising topic page, calling on users to participate in creating short videos related to the topic to increase brand awareness.

In addition to the above locations directly related to advertising, Kuaishou also provides several interactive locations to help merchants acquire potential customers to the greatest extent possible.

3. How much does it cost to open a Kuaishou advertising account ?

Currently, there are two channels for opening Kuaishou advertising accounts, official account opening and agent account opening. No matter which channel you choose to open an account, it is free. However, the two channels have essential service differences:

1. Official account opening

The official will submit the information provided by the advertiser for review, but will not provide other guidance services. It is possible that the application will be sent back for modification due to incorrect information filled in during the Kuaishou advertising account opening process.

2. Agent account opening

Agents generally have dedicated personnel to guide the filling of account opening information, which can ensure quick account opening.

What is the initial charge price for Kuaishou advertising?

After opening an account on the Kuaishou platform, you need to pre-recharge first, whether you find the official or an agent. The first pre-recharge requires more than 10,000 yuan. The renewal price is determined based on the specific consumption of the advertiser and the advertising costs planned to be placed on the Kuaishou platform.

4. Advertising Price

① Bidding method: Kuaishou ads are bid in an auction manner, and the ads of advertisers with higher bids will have priority in being displayed.

② Billing by cpc (click): Billing is based on clicks. The lowest click price on Android is 0.1 yuan, while the lowest click price on IOS is 0.2 yuan.

③ Repeated clicks within 20 minutes will only be counted as one action and the fee will be deducted once

④Billing by CPM (exposure): If billed by CPM, the starting price is 15 yuan per CPM.

Although recharging advertising on Kuaishou is a simple step, it would be better if agents open an account and recharge. Not only do they help advertisers open accounts on the Kuaishou platform, but they can also provide agency operations services in the later stage to help advertisers gain more advantages and effects in placing advertisements on Kuaishou.
