Banner Advertising
Banner advertising is the most common and most recognized form of online advertising. Banner ads are available in various sizes.

Banners usually have an enticing message or call on action that coaxes the viewer to click on it. “What is on the other side?” The advertiser’s Website, of course. Banner ads can also be static, just displaying the advertiser’s logo and slogan, or can be animated with graphics and movement.

If you use an advertising or PR company to develop your offline ads, quite often they provide you with a library of banner ads that you can use for your online advertising campaign. If you choose not to use an advertising or PR company you can outsource the creation of a banner ad to another company or create your own.

The banner ad should be designed to have a direct impact on the number of click-through it achieves. There are a number of resources online to assist you in developing dynamic banner ads.

As noted, there are a wide variety of banner ad sizes available. You should consult with the owners of the website on which you want to advertise before creating your banner ad or having one created professionally for you.

The objective of your banner ad is to have someone click on it. Do not try to include all of your information in your ad. A banner that is too small and cluttered is difficult to read and is not visually appealing. Many banners simply include a logo and a tag line enticing the user to click on it. Free offers or contest giveaways are also quite effective for click-through because they tend to appeal to the user’s curiously.
