Such ads usually contain a picture and text, and they can be either static or dynamic (e.g. gif images). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best banner ads help attract traffic to the advertiser\u2019s website, drive sales and increase brand awareness. It is a popular marketing strategy, which accounted for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/b\/banneradvertising.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u2155 of all digital advertising costs<\/a> in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your website banner design should match the advertising model you employ to have the desired effect. For example, if you are paid per impression, make sure that all the website visitors see it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the cost-per-click model, it\u2019s important to encourage the audience to click on the banner, so it should be really appealing and provide intrigue. Check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.travelpayouts.com\/en\/best-pay-per-click-networks-to-get-profitable-traffic\/\">best PPC networks<\/a> that you can make money with today.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Make Your Banner Ad Stand Out<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many ways in which you can design banner ads. Play with color, fonts, filters or use a plain background to highlight what the text says. Whichever strategy you employ, it should align with your brand and clearly represent your idea, without being too expository. We\u2019ve compiled some tips below on how to design a banner ad and provided banner ad examples to give you a headstart.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choose the Right Size<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your banner stands the best chance of success if it is the right size. Most popular banner ads are one of the following sizes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>728\u00d790px \u2014 Leaderboard<\/li><li>300\u00d7600px \u2014 Half Page<\/li><li>300\u00d7250px \u2014 Medium Rectangle<\/li><li>336\u00d7280px \u2014 Large Rectangle<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is an example of how a medium rectangle banner looks on a web page:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69f1f6988f85e&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"543\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on-async--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.travelpayouts.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/example-b-1024x543.jpg\" alt=\"Choose the right size\" class=\"wp-image-8716\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/example-b-1024x543.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/example-b-300x159.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/example-b-768x407.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/example-b-1536x815.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/example-b.jpg 1864w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.travelpayouts.com\/en\/how-to-get-around-ad-blockers\/\">To reduce your chance of being ad blocked<\/a> make your banner a non-standard size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Only show one product&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea of advertising a few of your products at once and saving your budget might seem reasonable, but don\u2019t let it fool you. With too many different elements, your website banner advertisement will be hard to understand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Successful ads showcase one product only, and they take advantage of all means to make the customer notice their product. On the other hand, banners with several products cannot equally highlight all of them, one element can obscure others, and customers will get distracted.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This refers to the number of products and all the elements in general. Avoid the temptation to show too many elements, whether it\u2019s words or visuals. Choose one message that you want to impart and focus on channeling it loud and clear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69f1f6988ff3f&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"808\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on-async--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.travelpayouts.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/design-tips-to-create-banner-ads-and-get-more-clicks.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7474\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/design-tips-to-create-banner-ads-and-get-more-clicks.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/design-tips-to-create-banner-ads-and-get-more-clicks-300x242.png 300w, https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/design-tips-to-create-banner-ads-and-get-more-clicks-768x621.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use the Main Elements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Each banner ad should have three main parts: Logo, value proposition and call to action (CTA). Respect the hierarchy and find the right balance between all elements so the client\u2019s attention passes smoothly from one part to another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Your value proposition is what you offer to clients. For example, \u201c70% off\u201d or \u201c3 days only.\u201d It should take up most of the space on the ad and\/or be the first thing that people see. Many advertisers use scarcity techniques to show that the offer is limited and speed up sales. The examples below might help you find banner ad design inspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69f1f69890500&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"474\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on-async--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.travelpayouts.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/design-tips-to-create-banner-ads-and-get-more-clicks-2-1-1024x474.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7479\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/design-tips-to-create-banner-ads-and-get-more-clicks-2-1-1024x474.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/design-tips-to-create-banner-ads-and-get-more-clicks-2-1-300x139.png 300w, https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/design-tips-to-create-banner-ads-and-get-more-clicks-2-1-768x355.png 768w, https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/design-tips-to-create-banner-ads-and-get-more-clicks-2-1.png 1340w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Your CTA invites readers to take action. For example, click on the ad. It usually includes action verbs, such as \u201cBuy,\u201d \u201cWatch\u201d or \u201cGet your discount.\u201d Most advertisers design CTAs as buttons and place them on the lower side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. The logo should be the least dominant element on the banner, so place it close to one of the edges, for example, in the upper left-hand corner. If your logo is too complicated, consider leaving some of its parts out to not overload the image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69f1f698909fd&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"840\" height=\"400\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on-async--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.travelpayouts.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/pasted-image-0-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7505\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/pasted-image-0-1.png 840w, https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/pasted-image-0-1-300x143.png 300w, https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/pasted-image-0-1-768x366.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Call to Action<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Why use CTAs? Almost everybody likes instructions because they facilitate the choice. They also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.protocol80.com\/blog\/16-kick-ass-call-to-action-statistics-that-prove-ctas-are-essential\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">boost conversions<\/a>. Here are some ideas on how to make a good banner CTA:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>It should be clearly visible and it can even be a focal point, sometimes. Most designers present CTAs as buttons, usually in a rectangular shape<\/li><li>Choose the right button size: It shouldn\u2019t be too big or too small in regards to other content<\/li><li>Button text should be clearly readable, so try to avoid intricate fonts. You should look credible and reliable<\/li><li>Use personal pronouns, for example, \u201cRegister me\u201d or \u201cGet my discount.\u201d Such personalization <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.hubspot.com\/marketing\/personalized-calls-to-action-convert-better-data\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">converts 202% better<\/a> than impersonal text<\/li><li>Give the illusion of choice. In contrast to regular one-word CTAs, adding a few extra words can reveal what users choose. For instance, \u201cClick here to save 80%.\u201d<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Below, you can see an example of a banner with a clearly visible CTA button.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69f1f69890fac&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on-async--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.travelpayouts.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/pasted-image-0-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7506\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/pasted-image-0-2.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/pasted-image-0-2-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/pasted-image-0-2-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/pasted-image-0-2-768x576.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Apply the 80\/20 Rule<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is as simple as it gets. Banner ads are visual art, and their main purpose is to appeal to our sense of sight and emotions. The right balance between imagery and text would be 80% vs. 20%. This will also help you channel a singular message and not get carried away. Some platforms, e.g. Facebook, use this constraint in practice, allowing you to only fill in 20% of the ad space with text. For instance, in the banner below, text occupies no less than one-fifth of the space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69f1f69891501&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"229\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on-async--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.travelpayouts.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/pasted-image-0-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7507\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/pasted-image-0-3.png 800w, https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/pasted-image-0-3-300x86.png 300w, https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/pasted-image-0-3-768x220.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make It Reflect Your Brand<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ads not only serve to generate sales, but they also increase brand recognition. Certainly, it starts with using your company\u2019s logo. Try to match the ad design and colors to your brand style so you don\u2019t confuse readers. The landing page that the ad leads to should also be in line with your brand. For example, the banner ad below reflects Qatar\u2019s violet branding color.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69f1f6989199f&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1125\" height=\"425\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on-async--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.travelpayouts.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/designer-tips-to-create-banner-ads-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7508\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/designer-tips-to-create-banner-ads-3.png 1125w, https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/designer-tips-to-create-banner-ads-3-300x113.png 300w, https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/designer-tips-to-create-banner-ads-3-1024x387.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/designer-tips-to-create-banner-ads-3-768x290.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1125px) 100vw, 1125px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choose Colors Wisely<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Visuals are all about colors.

However, you can make white space your friend. Here is why:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>White space helps focus attention on the key message. The human eye usually moves from the lightest to the darkest spots in the picture. If there is a lot of white space left, users will quickly focus on your text or design elements.&nbsp;<\/li><li>It can also channel meaning. For example, white background is often associated with something official, silent, peaceful, classic, and if these qualities are a part of your messaging, white space could not have been more relevant. For example, the banner below uses white space to channel comfort, which is a very important quality when choosing sneakers.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69f1f69892c13&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"367\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on-async--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.travelpayouts.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/banner-1024x367.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7514\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/banner-1024x367.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/banner-300x108.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/banner-768x275.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/banner-1536x551.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/banner.jpg 1550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Be Bold<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ads are meant to attract attention.

For example, choose one font for your headline and another one for the body. But not all typography looks good on an ad, so try to avoid:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>All uppercase letters<\/li><li>Cursive or script fonts<\/li><li>Letters that are too thin or too thick&nbsp;<\/li><li>Type smaller than 10pt<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Another trick to leave your competition howling is by using a custom font. It can be handwritten, created out of your product or any other way. These banners won\u2019t go unnoticed in a sea of digital ads, just remember that custom type should be the focal point of your design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69f1f69893860&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"510\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on-async--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.travelpayouts.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/examples-1024x510.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8713\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/examples-1024x510.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/examples-300x149.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/examples-768x382.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/examples.jpg 1471w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Filter Photos<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With today\u2019s sophisticated tools, you can create any impression you want.

Another tactic is to place the banner close to the main page content, because that would make it seem like a relevant element.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Update Your Banners<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter how appealing your banner is today, its novelty will wear off after a while, and it won\u2019t create as strong of an impression as it does now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tactic of updating your banner ad also helps to target a wider audience, for example, the first design might have appealed to youngsters, but its second version could draw the attention of an older generation and increase sales. Finally, the offer terms or timeliness might change as well, so displaying irrelevant information won\u2019t add to your brand credibility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, remember to keep an eye on your banners and change them should the need arise.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Make a Great Banner and Get More Clicks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before designing a banner ad, try to identify your brand image, product qualities and target audience. This is the starting point that your design will be based on. Remember to stay singular in message as to not confuse customers and deploy all design elements (space, color, font, etc.) to channel one idea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If there is a lot of competition in the niche, try to give a creative push to your design so it doesn\u2019t get lost among a myriad of similar ads. Also, don\u2019t overwhelm your message and work on removing details that are not crucial. Research your target audience and its cultural sensitivity.
