A big event has happened in the mobile marketing world this week: Apple has announced the expansion of its ad network to 46 new storefronts globally. Before the announcement, publishers could promote their apps in only 13 countries.
The release came out on 27 March, and this is the first time the ad network has been expanded since August 2018, when France, Germany, Italy, Japan, South Korea and Spain were added to the list of Apple Search Ads available countries available storefronts.
Due to this biggest addition, there are now 59 Apple Search Ads countries where you can promote your app:
Apple is exploring new advertising territories. Before the storefronts addition, publishers didn’t have any chance to target users in Africa, Middle East, and India as well as Latin America and the Caribbean.
Even more European countries are covered now, and as for Asia Pacific, the expansion to new storefronts of the region is viewed by experts as a way to test Apple Search Ads before its introduction to China. Brazil and Russia are another two huge markets that are still unexplored.
In addition to 46 extra countries, Apple has rolled out another big feature – multi-storefront campaigns. Before the update, advertisers had to set up an individual campaign for every location. Now, a single campaign can be created for multiple regions, which is a great time-saving solution for Apple Search Ads advertisers.
