If you\u2019ve got design skills, you can use any graphic design program like Adobe Photoshop or Gimp. However, many businesses prefer a super quick solution specifically designed for non-designers to create banner ads, such as BannerSnack.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3152 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.josefranconline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/bannerad4-1-300x261.jpg\" alt=\"banner ad design tool\" width=\"300\" height=\"261\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>SHAPE, SIZE, AND FORMAT OF YOUR BANNER AD DESIGN<\/h2>\n<p>You\u2019ll need to make sure you have a variety of banner ad sizes available for use in your campaigns. You can get your ad sizes from the IAB (Interactive Advertising Bureau) or simply follow the recommendations of the ad network you\u2019re using. For example, Google AdWords recommends 300 x 250, 336 x 280, 728 x 90, 300 x 600, and 320 x 100 versions of your ads. Again, a banner ad solution like BannerSnack can make this process super easy.<\/p>\n<p>Another important detail is going to be format. If you\u2019re going to use static images, you\u2019ll want to use .jpeg, .jpg, .png, and .gif file formats. If you\u2019re trying to do animated banners, you\u2019ll be dealing with .swf and .gif files. It\u2019s also important to consider the file size. This depends on your ad network. For example, Google\u2019s display network requires files to be 150KB or smaller.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3154 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.josefranconline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/formatos-300x129.jpg\" alt=\"banner ad design format\" width=\"360\" height=\"155\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>BANNER AD DESIGN IDEAS<\/h2>\n<p>If you are indeed using a solution like BannerSnack, the best option for design and style is to use a template and stick with it\u2019s general layout. However, here are some general best practices to consider.<\/p>\n<p>Be mindful of your brand or product colors and try to focus on just two or three primary or secondary colors for your ad. Use high quality images that are appealing and grab the attention of your audience (incorporate the things you learned while researching your audience).<\/p>\n<p>Ensure you properly use contrasting colors to make your text and CTA buttons pop out. For example, it would be silly to put white button text on a yellow button on a light orange background. A lot of this is common sense. If it doesn\u2019t pop out for you, it probably won\u2019t pop out for your audience. Also, be sure to balance main ideas and empty space. Jamming too much imagery and text into a banner can be counter productive.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3153 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.josefranconline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/design-300x164.jpg\" alt=\"banner ad design samples\" width=\"402\" height=\"220\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>TEST, TEST, AND TEST AGAIN<\/h2>\n<p>Your goal within the ad campaign is to maximize the effectiveness of each dollar you spend. So it\u2019s a good idea to create several variations of your banner ads and review the results to see which ones perform best. You might try different CTA phrases like \u201clearn more\u201d, \u201cjoin now\u201d and \u201cadd to cart\u201d. See if one background image grabs more clicks than another. Heck, see if maybe a red button beats a blue one. The point is, you want to squeeze as much value as you can from your advertising dollar so test several variations and see what gives you the lowest CPC.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3155 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.josefranconline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/testab-300x177.jpg\" alt=\"banner ad design abtest\" width=\"349\" height=\"206\" \/><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 509px; height: 231px;\">\n<caption style=\"text-align: left;\">Click on the images below to download the PDF and MP3 files:<\/caption>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 300px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/josefranconline.com\/gifts-in-posts\/banner-ads\/BannerAdsEng-4.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"vertical-align: middle;\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.josefranconline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/PDF-Download.jpg\" alt=\"PDF Download\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" align=\"center\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 300px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/josefranconline.com\/gifts-in-posts\/banner-ads\/wav-banners-eng-4.mp3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"vertical-align: middle;\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.josefranconline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/MP3-Download-300x300.png\" alt=\"MP3 Download\" width=\"121\" height=\"121\" align=\"center\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>To Know More&#8230;Visit us at:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/josefranconline.com\/\">JoseFrancOnline.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>If you are interested in Internet Marketing, Get FREE GIFTS in:<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/josefranconline.com\/internet-marketing\/im-squeeze.html\">&#8220;YOUR GIFTS&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Our Product About Visual Marketing<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/josefranconline.com\/visualmarketingmate\">Visual Marketing Mate<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Become an affiliate and get commissions!<br \/>\n<a href=\"josefranconline.com\/affiliates.html\">JoseFrancOnline.com\/affiliates.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BANNER AD DESIGN BEST TOOLS Banner ad design have several tools you can use to create it .
