These ads are played on YouTube videos, or on Google’s partner sites and apps. 90% of brands using bumper ads on Youtube experienced a hike in their conversion rates.

These ads run for a time span of 15-20 seconds. These ads are played either at the beginning, end, or in between a Youtube video. These ads consume less data and less time and make great options for mobile ads.
TrueView Ads

Large eCommerce websites usually use this type of ad because of its diversity and ability to engage a large number of consumers. Also, the financial risk in buying this ad is the least because you as a business owner have to pay for this ad only if the viewer clicks on your ad.
