Top Tips for Designing Ads

Choosing how to design your display ads can be overwhelming. To give your campaign the best chance at success, we recommend keeping these simple principles in mind.

What information should you include on your ad to position you for success?

Present a clear, simplified key message

Capture the attention of your audience, convey your messages and bring your brand front of mind.

Include the right information

It’s important to include things like property type, location and price on your ads so the audience quickly understands you’re message - e.g. Off the plan townhouses priced from $800K.

Provide a strong call to action

Entice buyers to take action and click on your ad e.g. ‘Find out more’ or ‘Enquire now’.

Make the ad pop from the page

Design the ad with colour or imagery to catch the eye. Include a clear, considered logo.

Attention grabbing

Remember that people scan their eyes very quickly across website content so your ad needs to catch the eye and convey the message very quickly.

If you’re using HTML5 files or animated ads, ensure the change overs/loops are quick (2-3 seconds total) as we know people don’t linger on ads for more than a few seconds before engaging with them or scrolling past, so you want to ensure you convey your main message straight away.

Important Notes

You may supply up to a maximum of 3 creative executions per size to run on rotation per campaign.
Assets to be received five working days before the start of the campaign for testing and loading - failure to do so may result in your campaign not starting on time.
