Ad Design Do's and Don'ts - Quick Reference

Do’s
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
2. Use images
  • A picture is worth a thousand words
3. Emphasize the “call to action” in Merchandising ads
  • “Join us this Thursday! 2 for 1 Happy Hour!”
4. Emphasize the Brand in Branding ads
  • Slogans “Coolest club in town” etc.
5. Emphasize your contact information (web and phone number)
  • Leverage your website to provide more detailed information
  • Include your name and photo if it makes sense
6. Keep your message fresh
  • Be consistent without being redundant
7. Pay attention to other advertisements
  • 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
2. Put a map on your ad, keep it on your website
3. Underestimate the importance of time
  • Consider who, where, how, and for how long
4. Use 10 words when one word will do
  • Complicated language complicates your customers’ lives
5. Break the law
  • 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)
6. Forget your target audience
  • To whom are you advertising? Men? Women? Teens?
7. Limit your advertising to one type of media
  • Repetition and variety yields results
