Nigerpress Advertising Guidelines
Think of your audience first
One of the worst mistakes a business owner can make is to forget about his or her audience. Sure, you want your website or logo to look good, but what you think is good might be something your audience hates.
This is a deal-breaker for anyone who doesn’t have an amazing product that sells itself (which, by the way, is pretty rare). A 20-year-old is less likely to fall in love with a brand that looks like it’s aimed at his or her parents.
1. Be authentic with your audience
Authenticity means being truthful and honest about the product or service you’re promoting. It also means being transparent with people about what they should expect when they interact with your products or services.
2. Respect the rights of others
Your ads can’t infringe upon or violate the rights of any third party, including copyright, trademark or privacy rights.
3. Don’t target sensitive categories
Targeting certain audiences can be inappropriate and offensive. It’s never okay to target people in a way that implies you’re aware of sensitive info about them. You can’t target any audience based on:
- Sensitive health or medical condition
- Race, color or ethnic origin
- Negative financial status or condition
- Religious or philosophical affiliation or beliefs
- Sexual behavior or orientation
- Alleged or actual commission of a crime
4. Quality landing pages
We care about the ad experience from start to finish – including the URL your ad links to. We want to make sure users find what they’re looking for when they click through.
5. Create a consistent experience
Your ads must reflect who you are and what you’re promoting, so make sure your ad image, description and landing page are consistent. Your ads can’t suggest or imply that a product is available on your landing page if you don’t actually offer that product.
6. Be responsible with your content
We don’t allow certain categories of advertising and restrict others. As always, you’re responsible for the content you promote on Nigerpress, as well as the safety and trustworthiness of the products and services you offer.

We want Nigerpress to be a welcoming, positive, and inspiring place, so we don’t allow divisive or disturbing advertisements. We don’t allow language or imagery that is:
- Offensive or profane (censored or not)
- Excessively violent or gory

- Products intended for damage or injury (like crossbows, tasers or pepper spray).
- Fireworks.
- Explosives.
- Instructions on how to make weapons or fireworks, or information on how to harm or kill people.
9. Financial products and services
Ads for financial products and services must clearly and prominently disclose all applicable terms and conditions as required by the local laws and regulations for any country or region your ad is targeting. Ads for consumer loans, for example, must disclose things like the APR, repayment period, fees and costs, penalties, and information about the lending institution.
We prohibit ads for certain types of financial products, such as cryptocurrencies and payday loans, as described in unacceptable business practices.
Keep in mind…
Advertising will make a bad product fail faster, It doesn’t matter how good your intentions are when you created or released your product – if you’re spending a lot of money promoting it and no one is buying it, then it might be best to go back to the drawing board.
It’s always possible that you overlooked other essential parts of the marketing mix, like place or price. But unless you have absolutely zero exposure, your product isn’t selling because no one wants it.
