When users click on a banner, they generally are redirected to the advertiser\u2019s website.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banner ads are used because:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>of their diversity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>they are considered inexpensive<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>they are easily measurable (through <a href=\"https:\/\/vwo.com\/glossary\/click-through-rate\/\">CTR<\/a>)&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This form of advertising is considered mostly by businesses that are looking to increase their brand awareness\/visibility or <a href=\"https:\/\/vwo.com\/customer-engagement\/\">customer engagement<\/a> with remarketing ads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On one hand, good banner ads can drive monstrous amounts of traffic and sales for any business online, while on the other hand, bad banners often go unseen while hurting a brand\u2019s reputation with potential customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two synonyms for website banners are:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Banner ads<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Display ads<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The purpose of a website banner<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically, the foremost intention of creating website banners is to <a href=\"https:\/\/vwo.com\/grow-website-traffic\/\">drive traffic to a website<\/a> through a link attached to a banner. However, there are different roles that a banner can play in a brand\u2019s marketing journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Increasing website traffic: The most obvious reason to use banners is to increase targeted traffic to a website to showcase content, products, or services.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Selling a product or service: Targeted banner ads encourage users to buy a product or service. For this purpose, the context and placement of the ad are very important. For eg: a camping tent sale banner should be placed on a holiday website alongside other offers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Grabbing a user\u2019s attention: As users are under attack by thousands of ads in a single day, the banner needs to be creative in content and context and placed effectively.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Discounts &amp; offers: Banners are an efficient method of promoting special offers or discounts. Most commonly used CTAs like \u201cclick here for x% discount\u201d, \u201cunlock your gift\u201d, \u201cgrab it today\u201d, and \u201cget the look\u201d can do wonders in attracting a visitor to a brand.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Types of website banners that make your brand stand out<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Static\/Standard banners: <\/strong>These typically consist of a single image without any audio, video, or additional features. This kind of banner offers a \u201cto the point\u201d and a subtle call to action usually not for the number of clicks but rather for a lasting impression. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"141\" data-id=\"765\" src=\"https:\/\/static.wingify.com\/gcp\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2022\/05\/STATIC.png\" alt=\"Static\/ Standard banner\" class=\"wp-image-765\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.wingify.com\/gcp\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2022\/05\/STATIC.png 512w, https:\/\/static.wingify.com\/gcp\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2022\/05\/STATIC.png?tr=w-375 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wordstream.com\/blog\/ws\/2020\/03\/02\/banner-ads-examples\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WordStream<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Animated GIF banners: <\/strong>A cleverly designed GIF banner offers substance over flashiness which is immediately appealing rather than irritating as it focuses more on the punch of the message being delivered.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"498\" height=\"498\" src=\"https:\/\/static.wingify.com\/gcp\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2022\/05\/ANIMATED.gif\" alt=\"Animated Gif banners\" class=\"wp-image-766\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.wingify.com\/gcp\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2022\/05\/ANIMATED.gif 498w, https:\/\/static.wingify.com\/gcp\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2022\/05\/ANIMATED.gif?tr=w-375 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 498px) 100vw, 498px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image source: <a href=\"https:\/\/tenor.com\/search\/animated-banners-gifs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tenor<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Flash banners:<\/strong> By designing banners using flash technology, animations, and special effects (colour contrast, quality graphics) can be creatively included in banners giving a smoother result.
