Banner Blindness
Banner Blindness, or commonly known also as "Ad Blindness" is a phenomenon whereby users consciously or unconsciously ignore parts of a webpage, where ads are usually placed. If users are looking for a quick fact, they want to get it done swiftly and will not be diverted by banners; if users are engrossed in a story, they're not going to look away from the content.
As seen on the left picture, users mentally block out what is perceived to be ads at the side of the web page, reading the main content itself. This reflex action renders many advertisements to be ineffective in attracting attention and may not justify the high costs spent on getting such advertisements deployed.
An extension of this banner blindness problem...
Similarly in reality, commuters may time to time become oblivious to advertisements placed at the roadside or on transit systems. This is because after a long period of being exposed to advertisements, people are starting to filter away "junk" information around them, choosing not to fixate within elements in their surroundings that resemble ads.
Leveling the playing field between SMEs and MNCs
Conventional forms of advertisements require a substantial upfront payment, which strains the financials of most companies, in particular Small and Medium Enterprises(SMEs)where cost of advertising is a high fixed cost. On the other hand, Multinational Companies(MNCs) are able to absorb these advertising costs and market their products using these main stream platforms.
Sqkii requires no upfront payment, which gives advertisers greater control and flexibility. It provides full focus of your advertisement to users similarly to that of a double full page advertisement on a newspaper or magazine, possibly providing SMEs to compete more effectively with the big players in the industry.
