Preface

Summary


Actions and destinations are goals that are directly beneficial to your brand, whether it's a user socially sharing content with a friend or locating their nearest store with rich mapping. We looked at engaging the user with some of these compelling techniques:

  • Promoting and buying iTunes store content, such as apps and media, right within our ad, generating additional revenue streams or promotion

  • Customizing the store finder experience

  • Hiding certain pages of the ad from the main navigation to offer supplementary content

  • Sending an SMS text arranging to meet a friend using our first bit of JavaScript code!

We'll learn how to create even further interaction using advanced code later, but first, let's take a look at making ads for the big-screen iPad iAds.
