We bet we know what your favorite thing in the world is. Seriously. We do. In fact, think about it right now.
Is it your kids? Your significant other? Your pet? Perhaps your car, or motorcycle? Maybe a well-worn, favorite old shirt that is awesome to lounge around in on a Saturday?
Whatever it is, you’re seeing a PICTURE of it in your head right now, aren’t you?
We’ve just illustrated ONE OF THE FOUR MOST COMMON MISTAKES businesses make when creating digital advertising:
They do not understand the power images have in an ad.
Images create emotional connections between viewers and ads they see, and making sure you’re using the RIGHT IMAGE is soooo important for maximizing your ad conversions. Most advertisers think their ads should include photos of their inanimate products, or software screenshots, or impressively appointed buildings or trucks. NO. NO. And NO. These things have as much personal appeal to prospects as, well, mud.
Space permitting, ads should include images that convey a positive feeling; something that just BEGS to be clicked on. If you’re really good, that compelling image ties intelligently into how or why a prospect would ENJOY using your business or service. The images should visually convey the emotional result of the ad’s benefits-driven copy and motivate the viewer to click, so they can more fully explore the exact same joy and happiness that they see in the ad image. Getting the right image for an ad is part science, part art, and a whole lot of experience.
