Banner
Advertisements or Click through Advertisements are considered by many as the original
form of Web Advertising. Even now, Banner Advertising is one of the most popular
forms of Online Advertising.
Thus, it is very important to make sure that your business is making the most
of Banner Advertising. However, due to a few disadvantages of this medium, the
returns get severely affected. Such scenarios can be avoided by taking care of
a few simple but often overlooked facts.
Clutter Effect
Through
the years, Banner Advertising has
incorporated the new opportunities made available by advancements in
technology. The ads can now also be positioned at any section of the webpage
apart from the top row that they had traditionally occupied. It is very common
to find Banner Ads at the sides or the bottom of the page nowadays. This opportunity,
when overused, creates a clutter of ads which leaves the user annoyed. There
are websites, who in the enthusiasm of utilizing Banner Ads fill the pages with
so many ads that it becomes inconvenient for the user to read the content.
Banner Advertisements should thus be used intelligently in a manner that does
not impede the primary reason of the user being at the page.
Relevancy
A
relevant Ad has more chances of getting clicked than a randomly placed ad. A Web
Banner on car insurance is more likely to get clicked on the website of a car
seller than on the website of a marriage bureau. If your company deals in
multiple products or services, it is important to ensure that banner leads to
the relevant page of the company’s website. Do not focus just on the home page.
Trust
One
of the many issues ailing Banner Advertisements is the case of the thousands of
the banners leading to porn sites. There is a growing distrust among average
users for the same. It would be good idea to attain the trust of the user
through the content displayed in the ad.
Web
Banner Advertising, when used intelligently, is still one of the most
profitable forms of Internet Advertising.
Using it wisely can result in profitable returns at the lowest of costs. Thus,
the Banner Advertising Services of the Web Advertising Agency you are planning to hire should be scrutinized
carefully.
