How Text Adverts Can Be More Effective Than Ad Banners

Marketing Strategy

Do you use text adverts? You may have noticed that on each website you visit, you find at least two ad banners that advertise products. But how many times do you click on them to buy products? One thing I have discovered is that not many internet users bother themselves to click on them nowadays. Do you know why? They are so commonly found on every website that people have become adamant about them. What happens is that they don’t bother to click on them. They ignore them. Maybe that’s one reason why you need to think outside the box and try other ways of marketing your products, in addition to advertising with ad banners.

Text adverts are another way of advertising your products online. When you use them, you will not only kill the monotony that ad banners have created, but you may also get more clicks on them than on banners. Besides, it’s effortless to change them in any way you want to satisfy your marketing needs.

I repeat, write to target the needs of your readers so that they can click through the links to the pages on which you display your products.

Usage of power words helps you to attract your potential customers because they out the desired reactions from your readers. Some words meet the basic human needs, which include physiological needs, safety, social needs, self-esteem and self-actualisation. Effective text adverts always target at least one of those five human motivators. Your challenge is to know enough power words and to use them creatively in your text adverts. It is also to discover what motivates your readers and take advantage of it.

For you to get a good response, you need to put the following points into consideration.

1. Frame your texts to make them look charming, unique, attractive and identifiable. It will help you to draw one’s attention to them.

3. Spice them up with colours. You can vary the colours of your letters and frames in such a way that you compel your readers to read on and on until they click on the links to the targeted location.

4. Never use the same text adverts in the same way for over a long time. Change them every after time as you watch the response. Probably by so doing, you may end up attracting even the most stubborn and rigid people. Sometimes when such people see a different advert after a few weeks, they may respond to it just because it appeals to them more than the previous ones.
