Display advertising is a type of advertising that is often used in online marketing. Display advertisements vary and can contain images, logos, text, and other graphics and messages. The design of the advertisements depends on the intent of the advertisement and the target audience the ad is meant to attract. These ads are commonly used to increase brand awareness and get your messages noticed by your target audience. The design of display advertisements varies and can include text ads alone, combine images and small amounts of text or have images and logos alone. The right choice for display advertising is unique to each advertiser, depending on the campaign, product being advertised and target audience for that ad. Display advertising often appears on websites. It can be used in several forms. Display ads can be banner ads, animated images and used in other online media. Cookie and browser history information is used to find targeted users for the ads. This helps to ensure the advertiser's messages are seen by the intended audience, which results in greater financial gains. Companies of all sizes use display advertising in their branding efforts. Initially, display advertising was similar to a billboard on the side of the road. They were there for everyone to see, whether you are interested in that advertiser or not. Increasingly the placement of display ads is targeted to a specific group of users, also known as the target audience. These are the people most likely to be interested in the products offered by the merchant. Display ads can be targeted in many ways. The type described above is known as behavioral targeting, which means you are targeting users based on their behavior. Display advertising can also target by demographics and geographic location to target customers close to home or in specific areas of the state or country. Display ads can be simple images and logos or more in depth, using animation or flash for display advertising that will be noticed. Most people start off with simple ads for the first few attempts and begin to move on to more complex advertisements. Working with a platform that provides the tools needed to create ads makes it easy for even less experienced people to create quality ads. There are certain things your ad should contain, including a clear message and pleasing design that will get the attention of your target audience.
