Use reverse psychology on your banner ads.
10 Killer Ways To Make People Click
- Use reverse psychology on your banner ads. You could tell people not to click on your banner ad. For example “Don’t Click Here If You Are Comfortable With Your Looks”
- Make your banner ad words as attractive as possible. Use words like ultimate, powerful, sizzling, hot, etc. Your words should relate and highlight your total offer.
- Offer a discount offer on your banner ad. People are always looking for good deals. You could offer a percentage discount, dollar discount, buy one get one free discount, etc.
- Add a personal story from a customer to your banner ad. This will prove to people that they aren’t throwing away the time they have clicking on your banner ad. Make sure the personal story is adequate in conveying what you are offering.
- You could have a famous and respectable person on your banner ad representing your product, web site or service. People will click because they’ll trust them over you.
- Include a powerful promise on your banner ad. You could add the promise as a heading for your ad. The promise could offer to give the customer two or three times as much as they paid for the product if they are not satisfied.
- Inform people to click on your banner ad. A novice Internet user might be unaware that they can click on banners. Simply adding the phrase “click here” to your banner will boost your clickthroughs.
- You could advertise a trial or sample offer. This will tell people there is no risk or obligation if they click on your banner ad and try out your product or service.
- Tell people the major benefit of your product, web site or service on your banner ad. It could be benefits like make money, lose weight, increase energy, save money, save time, etc.
- You could announce a complimentary offer on your banner ad. People adore acquiring items at no cost. The free gift should communicate to your intended prospects. If the giveaway is eye-catching to them they will click.
