5 DESIGN PRINCIPLES FOR BANNER ADS

Hey there, Brand Builders and Marketing Maestros! 🎨🖌️

 Are you crafting banner ads that are more ‘blah’ than ‘ta-da’? Fear not, because Coastal Digital Group is here to transform your banner ads from wallflowers to dance floor divas with these five design principles!

Clarity is King

  • Keep it Simple: Your ad has mere seconds to make an impact. Stick to one clear message and a single call-to-action (CTA).
  • Readable Fonts: Choose fonts that are easy on the eyes across devices. If they squint, you lose!

Contrast for Impact

  • Color Contrast: Use contrasting colors to make your CTA button and key messaging pop.
  • Visual Hierarchy: Arrange elements by importance. The most vital message should hit the viewer first.

Consistency is Your Brand’s Best Friend 

  • Brand Alignment: Ensure your ad’s look and feel align with your brand’s style guide. A consistent brand voice builds trust.
  • Seamless Experience: The ad should be a visual appetizer for the feast that is your landing page.

Emotion Sells 

  • Engage Emotionally: Use images and language that evoke emotion. Happy customers are click-happy customers.
  • Value Proposition: Highlight what’s in it for them. Make the benefit crystal clear and emotionally resonant.

Testing Leads to Perfection 

  • A/B Testing: Test different versions to see what resonates. It’s like finding the perfect seasoning for your ad recipe.
  • Analytics: Use data to drive decisions. Numbers don’t lie, but they do tell tales of success and improvement.

Bonus Tip: Motion Attracts!

Subtle Animation: A touch of animation can bring your banner to life. Just don’t overdo it – no one likes a disco ball in their face.

Creating banner ads that convert is an art, and we at Coastal Digital Group are the Michelangelos of the ad world. Don’t let your in-house efforts be the only brush in your palette.
