1. Simplicity
The display of a banner is not that big and that’s why simple is one of the key principle. If you add too much information into little space it can be overwhelming and difficult to read the text. Your message should be clear and understandable right away to get the customers click.
2. High-quality images
To keep your brand image as high as possible make sure you use the best image. Make sure to use high res and not pixelated pictures. But keep the max. on 150 kb when exporting the image.
3. Eye catchy!
The ideally ad makes the customer stop scrolling, because it stands out and provoke customers to click on it.
You can attract attention with contrasting colors. Make the text stand out from the background when communicating. Color combination means a lot as well as the importance of colors. As an example, red can heighten appetite, excitement, and anxiety. That’s why restaurants often use the color scheme red. An overwhelming color can be yellow when it is used too much. Viewers are about to know that it is a cheap tactic to increase sales as yellow is attention-grabbing.
