Banner advertising has been around since the beginning, and what many people don’t know is that it can be an extremely effective method for creating highly targeted traffic. When you have the knowledge and resources to really get it right, then it’s just pure fun in so many ways. It’s true, banners have been on the net since the beginning, and while many people have given up on it – those who know what to do are still going strong. Next we’re going to explore some proven strategies for using banner advertising, and we hope you’ll be inspired to get involved and make something happen.
Your banner copy, the text, has the job of moving the reader’s emotions enough to produce a click through. You can’t use too many words here because of the limited space. So the trick is to pass on your sales message in as few words as possible, without actually limiting the overall purpose of your ad. There is creativity involved, of course, but one thing that is more important than creativity is writing like a copywriter would do it. Always test your banners by rotating them, and you can test different benefits of your product or service. Be sure you serve them hot benefits and not cold features.
The written text on your banners, the copy, must be able to move people to take action – click on your banner. There are several methods you can use in your banner copy, and again you can get good ideas from the banners you studied.
If you have something that’s boring or doesn’t go with the vibrant nature of your banner ad, then you won’t get many clicks. This is where your excellent research into your niche market comes into play because you have to know them and what is important to them. As you know, there isn’t a lot to write, but what you do have to write must hit the nail on the head.
Always test different banners for the same campaign because you want to maximize your conversion rates. It’s also good to slightly change designs because banners do have a shelf life on the same sites. Rotating banners from one site to another is very common, and it’s necessary too.
There is a small learning curve if you want to be profitable with banner advertising. Your results will be the most impressive when you take the time to learn how to do it. Take consistent actions and remember that small steps lead to big achievements, so keep moving.
