Advertisers use digital advertising to target certain groups more likely to purchase their product or service. Certain countries are more lucrative for advertisers than others. Economic criteria are used to classify countries into tiers.
Advertisers prefer wealthy nations with greater earnings, whereas low-income countries are less appealing. This is because more prosperous nations are more likely to create conversions or sales.
What are Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 Countries?
Advertisers categorize nations into Tiers 1, 2, and 3 according to their economic importance.
Tier 1: The world’s richest nations, where people earn a lot of money and have a lot of it to spend. The cost per click (CPC) for an ad campaign in Tier 1 countries is also costly due to the high level of competition and CPCs. Nearly every marketer dreams of doing business with one of these nations.
Tier 2: These nations are less well-off than Tier 1 and have less money to spend on leisure activities and other important things. There is less competition and cheaper CPCs as well.
Tier 3: Tier 3 countries are low-income developing countries. Residents earn pitiful wages and have little to no extra spending money. Because there are so few marketers running advertising in these nations, competition is very low; on the other hand, they are the most affordable places to advertise.
