Never forget branding elements
Use a relevant call to action
Instead of simply asking to take an action by saying something like ‘click here’ or so, make your value proposition clear through your CTA. Your CTA should answer the most common questions of the visitors such as ‘Why should I click on this ad? ‘, ‘is there something I am going to win or gain access to’ and so on.
Create a relevant landing page
Test your banners
There are so many factors related with the components of your banner ads (images, graphics, text, CTA etc) such as how are they placed, their quality, content and so on. You must test different variations of your ads to see what works well, see if your click through rates change and depending on them can optimize your ads for best results.
