Fucking Hell! I actually clicked on a banner ad.
This one (regular readers will know I can’t post images, so here’s a film that circumvents that disability):
It led me to this site, which I spent about a minute looking through.
Why did I click on it? After all, it’s the only banner ad I have deliberately engaged with – EVER (those Mac cleaning things that get between me and my dodgy Arsenal feeds really don’t count).
Well, I do think my wallet is a bit capacious and wondered if this might actually show me a solution.
I also like the design and the name. It feels all warm and handmade.
I dunno if that helps you banner designers, but with click through rates at around 1/1000th of a percent I guess you need all the positive feedback you can get.
…that’s 1-0 to you, I’ve yet to click.
People are interested in things that interest them.
It’s amazing how many advertising and marketing people forget or choose to ignore this.
this feels like a sponsored post.
i hope your username is ironic, pedandtic.
If your wallet’s capacious it should be fine to handle a large amount of stuff. Just saying.
Then it’s all too big in my pocket. That’s what this helps with.
How did Bellend or whatever they’re called make your wallet slimmer. Punch you on the conk and take all your money?
i think the reason you clicked on it is bc it was of value to you. i think with a banner ad that’s all you can do: cast the line and hope something bites on it.
in this case you were considering a wallet change. when i come up w/banner ads i think it’s: 1) definitely gotta be static (fuck the bullshit, ppl only look at the end) and of value. 2) if not of value then feature your logo static like a sports sponsorship.
and while we’re at banners, check out koyono.com for what it’s worth. great product.
You know what, I’ve only ever clicked on two banners myself, and they were both they same as yours in that they were STATIC…
