Banner advertising is one of the important marketing strategies for business and a certain percentage of sales depends on this type of banner advertising. When you are paying a good amount after banner advertising, you have to give a good focus on the design of the banner. A bad design can reduce the success of your advertising campaign. Here are quick tips for designing a banner that gets you good success.

 Choose the color scheme wisely. If you are designing a banner which is going to be added on one website only, it will be fine but if the banner is going to be added in more than one website, you have to choose the color and the style of the banner which suit well with style of websites where it will get displayed and must have clear visibility regardless of the website’s background color.

Test the banner with different size and keep the position relative.  Most all the websites will not provide the space for which you have designed banners. You should test the visibility of different elements like text, images, links you have added in banner with different size by scratching the size and width of the banner

If you have added any multimedia elements like flash or embedded video, Must test its functionality on different browser and platforms to get maximum benefits of click through rate.

At least to get maximum benefits of your advertising efforts, must highlight your brand name and website URl in the banner so if someone is incapable of clicking, he can search for the brand name on the internet if he really likes what you are offering through that campaign.

Good points! thanks for sharing.

I think effective tip for banner advertising is to make sure your banner is calling the potential visitor / customer to action. There must be some type of catch or hook integrated into the banner. A good idea when preparing to make a banner is too look at some of the more prominent and successful  companies / banners on the web. Take the best / your favorite elements and then build your banner design out from there.

There are a lot of websites that will not accept a banner made in flash. So, make sure you know what sort of banner will be appropriate for a particular campaign. Some sites allow you to put a GIF banner where you can display several slides to convey many small messages.

This is one of the easiest ways to increase the CTR click through rate of a banner, on this all the expert agree. Using a call to action simply involves having the words 'click here' or some other words such as 'sign up now' or something similar which urges to viewer to do something.

My thoughts on why using a call to action increase the CTR so much include the fact that there is so much advertising off-line such as TV, Radio, billboards etc, etc. With promotion on these off-line mediums target audiences are normally just required to watch or read the ad. All ads online have a link and the point is to get people to click on the ad and visit the advertisers website, but with the world being so used to off-line advertising many people just see banners and think that's it, they don't realize that they're really meant to click on it to find out more. That's way having click here or another call to action improves the success of a banner.
