Banner ads are highly used among all ads. They are image-based ads, placed at the top of the websites to grab visitors’ attention.

Video ads

Video ads are one of the most effective ways to feature your products. You can use YouTube and Instagram channels to make the ads more interactive.

Interstitial ads are designed to grab the attention of visitors as soon as they visit your website. They appear on a different webpage before visitors are redirected to the original webpage.

8 best practices for Display ads optimization

1. Keep an appropriate and compelling ad copy

Make sure to add or write appropriate ad copies for websites’ landing pages. Add specific keywords or phrases with relevant descriptions about the products that you want to sell.

2. Determine your demographics

Define the group of audiences as per their basic demographic details like age, gender, interests, etc. Use high-quality images. Avoid overlaid logos, images, or ad text. Always use top-quality images for better visibility.

3. Track the frequency of your display ads

Your customers might get annoyed by seeing the same old ads many times. Track the frequency of your ads before they affect the conversions.

4. Target the right audience

Targeting the right audience helps you show your ads to people who are most likely to be interested in your products or services. This ensures that you are reaching the right people, at the right time.

5. Review and exclude placements

Go through relevant web pages, apps, and video content. If they don’t relate to your products, then remove their placements from your campaigns.

6. Set the budget as per business goals

If you have an unlimited budget, you can always run display ads. On the other hand, if your budget is limited, review the number of days and times you want to run display ads. Set the budget accordingly.

7. Re-market to retarget at the right time

Display ads allow you to target past/old visitors who have already visited your website. Re-engage them when they’re most likely to purchase your products.

8. Give an appropriate call to action

Use high-quality calls to action for your buyers in a competitive eCommerce market. Your Click-through rate depends highly on how unique and attractive your CTA’s are.
