Banner Ads

Banner Advertising, what makes it work? How can you get the best response rates and click through rates for your ads.  No, it’s not all guess work.   

Banner Ads are every where on the web.  Their job is to catch a customer and to get them to link onto a certain website or to buy a certain product/service.
Each banner you see is a product of guess work.  No one really knows if one banner will work better than another.

    I created my first banner ad using printed leaflets. Up to now it really works for the reason that it can be easily handed out.

Automotive sales will account for $1.75 billion in radio ad spending this year, according to BIA/Kelsey. Estimates from Kelly Blue Book and Edmunds call for monthly new vehicle sales for July to reach 1.47 million units, and an annual adjusted rate of 17.1 million. For July, the eight major manufacturers are expected to show year-to-year gains. Analysts credit a healthier economy and demand for trucks, SUVs and luxury vehicles with fueling the positive gains .
