A text ad acts as a “native” ad for your business in BubbleLife’s daily newsletter and homepage. Designed to make a viewer click, thinking they are going to read an article to learn more.   Some text ads provide very strong calls to action to them to click to see more of call your phone number.

HEADLINE: 40 character headline (spaces included)

Make sure to write a content-centric, catchy headline that will draw viewers’ attention.

Good: “Combining Medicine Helps Manage Pain”
Bad: “Call Architect John Smith”

PARAGRAPH: 40 word maximum

For the body of the text ad, include useful, interesting information. However, refrain from offering too much information, as you’re looking for the viewer to find out more by clicking the link to your website or landing page. Include a strong call to action to incentivize viewers to click the link provided.

Make sure the ad links to your website or a landing page with a lead capture form to collect visitor information for follow-up.

A good digital advertisement needs to do two things:

1. Give viewers something to remember
2. Give viewers something to do.

The better you are at getting these two things right, the better the ad performs.

Something to Remember
Even if viewers don’t react to the ad the first time they see it, they still see it. So, a good ad gives viewers something to remember. Then, when they need your product or service or are looking for something to do, they’ll recall the ad from memory. A name and a good tag line work together to get this done. For example:

• “Smith Plumbing – Best Plumber in the City”
• “Acme Dental – Voted #1 Dentist”
• “Jones Realty – Most Knowledgeable in the Market”
• “School Carnival – The most fun you’ll have this weekend”

Good graphics and a clean layout help make the message standout.

Something to Do
The second most important thing in a digital ad is to give the viewer something to do. This is called a call-to-action. The better the call to action, the better the response to the ad. For example:

• “Click here for 40% off your first visit”
• “Call today for a free consultation”
• “Download our whitepaper on buying a home in Dallas”
• “Contact us to learn more”
• “Click here for details”

Don’t Forget Follow-Through
Don’t forget that when a viewer clicks on your ad, they’ll expect something that follows up on the call-to-action. If your call-to-action is for a 40% off coupon, then the next page should ask them for an email address to receive the coupon. The worst thing you can do is take a good strong call-to-action and then direct them to the front page of your website where they are left wondering what to do next. Always try to look at the ad from a new customer’s standpoint and think “does this make sense?”

Remember that BubbleLife Connect let’s you easily create landing pages that can be used as ad destinations.
