One of the current top choices for response-driven marketing on the Internet these days is banner advertising. Plenty of businesses that employ pay-per-click ads strengthen their presence even more by installing banner advertising on blogs, message boards, and appropriate websites in order to draw traffic. While you have the choice of many other marketing techniques and tools for drawing traffic, it has turned out that banner ads have become the most popular choice of advertising.
Do not try and spend all your energy on writing an ad that people will not easily understand. Banner ads are not the place to make complex, intricate statements about anything. The reality is that you only have one or two seconds in which to capture that potential customer/client so don’t ruin it with confusing information on the ad. You’ll want your banner ad to project the required call to action in words that clearly tell a customer what they need to do next. Using simple and direct wording you will be able to get the customer in the right direction, this can make all the difference. Certain words will grab the viewer’s attention and invoke action on their part. Words such as; sale, discount, free, change, no shipping, well you get the point. You have to remember to keep the ad as honest as possible, so don’t use any kind of “free” baits if the customer isn’t going to find any such free deal at your site.
Besides all this, you need to be aware that the type and size of font used for your banner ad will also have an important role in the response you get back. Fonts that are not easily read have the effect of making the viewer quickly lose interest before they’ve even gotten to your offer. You’ll want all of the banners you put up to be crystal clear. For example, don’t use blood red font on a black background, no one would be able to read it. If this color combination is necessary, try to use a lighter shade of red, or outline the font by using a light border that pops out of the dark background.
If you want to keep up a steady stream of traffic to your site with your banner ads, refresh them often to keep them up to date. For example, if you had a banner up, promoting a sale that is no long running, then it would only have a negative impression on the customers. They might leave your site and no longer buy from you. Most people won’t feel they can trust your company if no one cares enough to update it. However, if you are are putting in the time to update your banners regularly, you’ll also be able to advertise new products and get excellent results, along with more traffic being generated for your website. By simply switching the design and color of your banners, you will create new and up to date ads. Some people look at changing them monthly, while others don’t do it that often. Just remember that regularly changing your ads will result in them receiving more conversions. A spruce-up and/or update once a month should do the trick of keeping your ads attractive and timely. Don’t forget that you can use your banner ads, if they are not outdated, in emails as well. It all depends on the amount of effort you’re willing to put into increasing those conversions, as well as putting the time in to change your ads is one step towards achieving that goal.
So if your goal is to make banner ads work for you by building your traffic and your profits, the smartest thing to do is to follow these simple steps for succeeding with banners–and watch your business grow.

Not long ago Wired Sussex were due to hold the ‘Make it into Media’ event, which was being held at the Corn Exchange, Brighton and Fresh Egg had been invited to attend. Although it wasn’t advertised as a jobs fair, media companies from all over Sussex were featured and it was great because anyone could pop in to get advice about the industry and possibly pick up a few contacts.
The HR manager Annie Marshall and I set up a stand at the event and about midway through the day I took to the stage to give a presentation on how I got into Search Engine Optimisation and to give my advice on the best paths into the industry.
Now we all know that the East Sussex town of Brighton is well known for it’s number of creative and media talent gurus. But even so, both Annie and I were blown away by the energy and enthusiasm that the attendees displayed. Many of the attendees were youngsters looking to break into the media world, but surprisingly, there were also a number of older industry people, many looking at how to make the transition from print to digital and some just fascinated by the whole new world of ‘new media’.
What really amazed me was just how hungry many of the job seekers were and how they really wanted to establish themselves in a new media sphere by basically working their socks off. Almost instantly after the doors were opened, the Fresh Egg stand was swamped by people wanting to learn not only more about our company, but also about Web Design, SEO, digital development and our fantastic new hatchling CallTrackID™ The interest didn’t let up all morning and it was a very constructive day, not only for Fresh Egg, but for everyone else involved in the whole event.
