We don’t need to tell you that competition is fierce in the digital advertising space. Billions of online advertisers are spending countless dollars to compete for social media users’ eyeballs and attention.
So, how can you ensure that your ads stand out from the competition and smash performance targets every time?
Firstly, content must be original and highly considered and targeting should be precise. Ads that jump off target users’ newsfeeds and, most importantly, convert, all highly utilise punchy, well-written copy paired with attention-grabbing images.
Additionally, the best-performing ads include images that adhere to the various specifications and design guidelines of the platform they’re published on.
Of course, creative specs for digital ads vary from platform to platform. However, your ads stand the best possible chance of delivering the goods if you take the time to tweak your creative assets to match each platform’s guidelines so that images look their best on all devices.
