Ad Design Do's and Don'ts - Quick Reference
Do’s
1. Decide on the type of ad (Branding vs Merchandising)
Don’ts
1. Overload the written content
3. Underestimate the importance of time
1. Decide on the type of ad (Branding vs Merchandising)
- Branding ads emphasize your image/brand
- Focus on “being memorable”
- Merchandising promotes your product/service offer
- Focus on the benefits of your offering not its features
- A picture is worth a thousand words
- “Join us this Thursday! 2 for 1 Happy Hour!”
- Slogans “Coolest club in town” etc.
- Leverage your website to provide more detailed information
- Include your name and photo if it makes sense
- Be consistent without being redundant
- Learn from others
Don’ts
1. Overload the written content
- Less text is more when it comes to advertising
- Give customers a reason to come to you
3. Underestimate the importance of time
- Consider who, where, how, and for how long
- Complicated language complicates your customers’ lives
- Be in compliance with state and federal law (Copyrighted material, etc.)
- Don’t make promises you cannot keep (A guarantee could put you in jail)
- To whom are you advertising? Men? Women? Teens?
- Repetition and variety yields results
