Banner Ads: Animated, Rich Media, Video, Deal of the Day

"73% of national advertisers would redirect spending to
web ads, such as banners, rich media and online sponsorships."      — DigitalEdge.org

After our strategy session with you, we work with our Online Production
Team to have your banner(s) built. Your banners are created with your business and product in mind.

Your options include regular static banners, animated gif banners,
animated flash banners, expandable banners, corner peels, floating ads
and video banners to name a few.

Rich Media (Interactive and Animated) Banners

Taking banners to the next level, Rich Media Banner ads expand, float, corner peel, or play video. Click here to view our rich media examples below.

Rich media banners can expand out a panel with more information — and more animation — without having to click that banner and wait for another web page to load. The expandable panel can even include a form, such as for a contest or survey.

Rich Media also allows you to present video. They can see the video begin playing automatically on certain banners, or expand out with the rollover of their mouse.

Rich media is a great way to promote events, grand openings, sales, concerts and specials. More popular than ever, these banners are highly animated, floating, eye-catching ads that link to your Web site, printable page or coupon offer. The most popular means to advertise on the web!
