Create a flash banner for your online advertising campaign
Category: Advertising Campaign | Jul 23, 2009 |
A web banner or banner ad is a popular form of advertising on the Internet. As you’ve probably noticed while surfing the Web, there are different types of banner ads. Banner ads are usually small image files in GIF or Adobe Flash format embedded on a web page, their presence on the Internet and their importance for many online business is immense.
Banner advertisements appear on all sorts of websites and has different appearance and subjects, but they all share a basic function: attract eyeballs and clicks. Similar to a traditional ad you would see in a printed publication such as a newspaper or magazine, a banner ad tells website viewers information about advertiser, with the added ability to bring a interested customer directly to the advertiser’s website.
Banner ads come in a variety of shapes, formats and sizes. The Internet Advertising Bureau (IAB) specifies different banner sizes according to pixel dimensions. IAB standard banner sizes are not the only banner ad shapes and sizes, but they are a good representation of the range of common banner ads. And the actual creative of banner ads varies considerably. The simplest online banner ad is a static GIF or JPEG image, with a HTML link to the advertiser’s home page.
Advertisers usually measure effectiveness of their banner ad performance base on click-through rate (CTR) — which describes the ratio of page views to clicks. It is expressed as the percentage of total visitors to a particular web page who actually clicked on the banner ad after viewing. The typical CTR of most banners is under 1 percent, and CTR significantly higher thanthat are very rare.
The decreasing CTR of banner ads prompted a new crop of internet ads to be born. In order to capture more visitors attention, many banner ads are now designed using flash to add multimedia elements including animation, sound, video, game, and interactivity. These interactive banner ads often outperform their static counterparts by more than 200%.
Website visitors are more likely to notice banners that have moving pictures or fun and playable. Example: if you have a small flash game embed inside a flash banner, many visitors will play that game, and be redirected to your website after they have ‘win’ or ‘lose’ the game. Although interactive banners are usually larger in terms of file sizes, the popularity of broadband Internet connection has increased its popularity as most web surfers can now see these ads a lot faster than the dial-up era.
With so many banner ads on different websites competing for viewer attention, it is important to plan your online banner ad campaign carefully, and only place banners on related website to attract the correct target group of audiences. You should also outsource your banner design to professional banner ad designers, because an attractive, interactive banner ad can perform significantly better than a boring, static image, so to maximum the return of your online advertising campaign.
Before you contact a banner ad designer, ensure you have your requirements for the banner ad listed clearly first, including the text line, images, preferred color theme and landing page for the banner to link to.
There are many advertising agencies and professional designers you can contact online to create professionally looking banners, give you access to their design and programming skills, banner templates, and also their creativity and extensive experience.

I don’t see how anyone can hear “vagina” in a word that clearly has a B and R sound in it.

It's doesn't matter what the "rule of thumb" is. Don't look toward averages — you are not running an average business.
Probably 90% to 95% of radio advertising is not tracked at all. You've moved past those folks by providing a trackable "discount keyword," although it's quite a challenge for most folks to remember both a URL and a discount keyword (both must be very memorable, and of course the discount code might be "radio" or the 4-letter radio-station name). (Keep in mind that someone might enter that discount code into an online "coupon and deals" web site, which can gunk your data somewhat.)
Radio is NOT a traditional "direct marketing" advertising tool, because it's so hard to track. Instead, radio and TV are usually used for "branding," where results are much harder to measure (but they can be measured, though not with anything near the precision of a Google AdWords campaign).
Keep in mind that most radio advertising is "local," promoting a local business, and there is a combined "direct response" and "branding" effect from radio advertising. A radio ad creates awareness of the business, which might not be acted upon for many weeks or months.
You should actually IGNORE what other folks are doing. Look instead at your own profit requirements. If you are spending $100 per day on the radio advertising, then the radio ads should be driving customers who buy enough that you earn back more than $100 in gross profit.
You could buy a Zune, then again you could also drown a kitten. Buy an iPod, save the kittens.
Well the DECA is international, so yes, I guess it would be just fine.
The reason why you're conducting an advertising campaign is of course to increase your sales. Therefore, in order to turn – up your plan, your increase in sales must exceed the cost attributable to it.
Here's the solution:
Increase in Sales $60000
Less: Variable Cost ($60000 x 42%) 25200
Less: Fixed Cost (Advertising) 25000
Increase in profit $9800
Comment:
You should conduct an advertising campaign because it will generate an income increase of $9800.

Dear Clint,
I would like to respond this in two cats:
1 If you are an independent publisher
2 If you are approaching a publisher of repute.
For self publishing, it depend eds, which cat is your title. Trade books, Academic, General book.Fiction and non -fiction etc.
Is this your FIRST book?
I suggest you join an association in your location.( Booksellers/Publishers?/etc)
Start with a MAILER
The promote the same with e-mailing. ( offer a pre publication offer of 10% discount)
Contact all the retailers in your area and request them a poster space. and then a display space.
Join a Book club- request them to Discuss about the book on a week end.
Send few FREE copies to News papers, Magazines who feature NEW book information.
Send mailers to all libraries via mailer.
Have enough budget for a "release" function in a good hall, invite about 500 persons, SELL the book at a discount!
However, if you are offering the book to any publishers they will assit you in promoting the same.
Now a days globally it is all author backed promotion.
All the best!

To start with, I'm a professional with 35 years experience in advertising.
If I understand you, you already have an ad campaign. Now you need to make convincing arguements as to why and how it will be effective. Assuming this is correct, you simply have to show a statistical data summary of the following:
1. How many people the ad will reach and be seen by
2. Why the ad helps sell the product or service, by showing a feature or benefit.
3. How you will track the results
4. How cost-effective the ad is
5. Why people will like the ad
6. Why people will buy the product
7. If the ad fails, what you plan to do next.
Good luck.

yes, my management prof was just talking about this!
Gerber. In the US, literacy rate is high and we all know that Gerber is baby food. Well, they tried to extend their sales to Africa and no one in Africa bought the food. (I think he said South Africa, but I could be wrong) Turns out that people thought that Gerber was canned babies because of the cute little picture. Africa has a low literacy rate so on most foods there are no words, but pictures to describe what you are getting. Gerber had to take the baby off of the label in order for people to understand that it was baby food and they weren't eating babies.
