ADVERTISING BANNER

Display advertising also appears on the Internet, as a form of internet marketing. Display advertising appears on web pages in many forms, including web banners. These banners can consist of static or animated images, as well as interactive media that may include audio and video elements. Adobe Systems Flash or .gif are the preferred presentation formats for such interactive advertisements. The Interactive Advertising Bureau, an industry trade group, sets some standards for online display advertisement sizes and shapes.

Banner Design Tips
Here are some tips, in no particular order, on how to design effective banners:

- Keep your message short and simple.

- Most banners are in the GIF format, as this compresses very well. Some people use JPEG images, but you're only be able to fit in a couple of frames.
I wouldn't recommend using Java or Flash banners, as many people don't have these plug-ins. So your banner won't be seen.

- Use a large font size for your message text.

- Use attractive images to grab the viewer's attention.

- Use attention grabbing words like "free" and "now". "Free" is a very powerful incentive for the viewer to click on the button.

- Convey your "Unique Selling Point" of your website in the banner. e.g. "Nobody Sells Cheaper Than Us", "We Offer The Widest Selection With Over 10 Million Books".

- Don't use bold bright colors, such as bright yellow, bright red, lime green, etc.

- Encourage action from the viewer. Put "Click Here!" somewhere on the banner--usually in the bottom right hand corner. Use a smaller font size, so that it doesn't distract the viewer from your main advertising message.

- Create different versions of the banner. Test different banners to improve your click-through rate.

- Animate your banner, but use as few frames as possible to convey your message. No one is going to wait to read through 10 frames of animation just to find out what your banner is about.

- Add a border to your banner to make it stand out from the page. Most people use a blue or black border, but I've banners with dotted lines, which is a bit different.

- Although most sites accept a maximum file size of 10kb or 12kb, I recommend that you keep the file size as small as possible. The quicker the download, the more likely your banner will be seen, before they have scrolled down the page.

- And finally, try using humor to convey your message. I think this aspect of advertising hasn't really been use on the web. But we all know it works. Humor is used all the time in T.V. and radio advertisements.
