Native ad specifications

1: No text on the image.
Unlike display ads, our native ads have space for your copy (headline, body copy, call to action & name) built into them. So, there's no need for any copy on your image.

2: The image must have the most important content in the centre.
The image will be cropped to a square in some instances and display fully in others.

Why?
These specs make it possible for your native ad to fit in seamlessly across all Trade Me platforms (mobile app, mobile browser and desktop). We strongly recommend using our Native Ad Builder so you can check that you are happy with how your ad will display.
