   Be Bold With Call to Actions

It’s not enough to expect people to click where you want them to click. You need to tell them to click and provide clear instructions. This is the rationale behind a compelling call to action.

Make sure your advertisement has a clear call to action that invites curiosity and has a sense of urgency.

2. Go for a Distinct but Consistent Look

Even if you are a relatively new company, you want to start building a brand that people will recognize. That means being consistent when it comes to colors, fonts, and brand imagery on your ad.

However, don’t be boring. This is your opportunity to stand out. Going for something unusual and distinct will help your brand gain traction over time.

3. Check Updated Ad Dimensions

When publishing a new ad, a common mistake is to use an out-of-date ad dimension that looks terrible on-screen.

Ad platforms sometimes change their recommended ad dimensions, so always double-check the sizes before publishing any new ad campaign.

4. Find the Perfect Image

The image is the first thing people will notice about an ad. It is what will draw their eyes in and stop them from scrolling past. It must be striking.

You need to spend time choosing the right image, and that means doing some A/B testing to see what types of images work best with your target audience and get the most clicks.

5. Get Creative

Sometimes, if you want to stand out from everything else, you’ve got to get creative. So instead of the usual bland advertising route, why not go for something a bit more quirky like physical advertising?

Take t-shirts, for example. You can customize shirts so that they advertise your brand and then give them away to your best customers.

6. Choose an Easy to Read Font

Handwritten and italic fonts may look beautiful and tempting if you have a more artistic brand. However, with visual marketing, avoid these at all costs.

They take longer to read and will cost you precious seconds when trying to stop people in their tracks with an ad.

Instead, go for sans script font and use more intricate fonts for any sub-headings or taglines.

7. Don’t Forget About Data

90% of people ignore this fact.

Can you see how attention-grabbing one single bit of data can be? Use this to your advantage in an ad. If you have favorable customer feedback or a product ranking #1 in a category, share this information on your ad in a big, bold way.

8. Showcase Customer Experience

Traditional visual advertising tips recommend sharing testimonial quotes. However, nowadays, show-and-tell provides a much more engaging story.

Suppose you can get a customer, or even better, an influencer, to showcase an image of them using your product within the perfect context. In that case, that’s going to be the ideal testimonial for your ad.

Be Brave With Your Visual Advertising

Visual advertising is all about being bold and daring. After all, blandness will get you lost in the sea of other ads your target audience will see on any given day of the week.
