One of the most effective ways to market your brand online is through banners. Attractive, eye-catching banners don’t just play the part of getting customer attention they are also one of the most traditional-but-still-relevant methods of promoting your brand image. The easiest example of effective banner marketing is affiliate program banners. They have all the relevant information squeezed into a box sized attractive banner that’s so catchy that a significant percentage of people viewing them end up either visiting the affiliate marketer’s website or actually enrolling for it.

While using banners is one thing, designing them is an entirely different story. Actually, the way your banners perform depends to a large extent on the way they are designed. That’s probably the reason organizations really wanting to reap a significant advantage hire banner designers and marketers dedicated to the end. However, affording good banner designers is not everyone’s cup of tea.

So if you’re a professional just starting out, does that mean you have to lose out on online marketing? Of course not! With Bannerwise, you can design and use engaging banners at an affordable price and capture all the audience attention you want.

How the tool works

Trying a tool out before putting money on the line is the smart thing to do. So start using Bannerwise through the free 14-day trial by clicking on the dark pink button that says “Get My Free Trial” on the home page; doing that will redirect you to a sign-up page where you need to fill in your details. Once done, you’ll reach a login activate page with the message “We’re very excited to have you on board!”

But this is where the story sadly took a halt. Quite surprisingly, this message was followed by another one stating that we’ll be contacted by one of Bannerwise’s display experts soon. We weren’t sure why we were rebuffed like that when the next screen we should have seen was the tool’s dashboard. One reason we could think of was that we filled in dummy details since we simply wanted to check out how the tool looked in action.

But even after trying with legitimate details the message was the same. Either the platform was under maintenance or they weren’t accepting new registrations at the time, or maybe that was just the way they operated. But it was unusual. There was nothing more we could do except wait around to be contacted.

Pricing & Licenses

Bannerwise can be used in one of 3 flavors:

• Starter plan that gives a single user access to create about 25 banners for €99 per month
• Standard plan that allows up to 2 users to create unlimited banners for €239 per month
• Professional plan that lets up to 5 users create unlimited banners for €399 per month

There are additional benefits associated with each plan with more features being available with the higher priced plans, obviously. Steep prices if you ask us, but then, if you strike the right cord with your audience through banners created using the tool, you’ll end up making much more that you spend.

Verdict

We actually couldn’t find out any pros or cons with Bannerwise because we didn’t get a chance to use it. At the time of writing this review, we were waiting for someone from Bannerwise to contact us and take things forward. So saying anything at this point would be futile. But we promise to put up a review of the tool’s working with its pros and cons as soon as we get the chance to experience it.

Hey, blogger. You probably have been trying to sell ad space on your blog via BuySellAds and Google AdSense (or other networks). And you already know it is not easy unless you have really heavy traffic.
If you feel that lots of impressions are getting wasted on your pages, perhaps a banner exchange could come in handy.

I know, banner exchange systems are so last decade – but are they?

We are one of the bloggers that decided to build their own banner exchange system – dedicated for blogs.
It’s called SquareBanners because it’s going to use mostly (possibly only) 125×125 banners – the format that is very popular among blogs.

Each and every banner will be manually approved to keep the quality of the creatives.
No pop-ups, pop-unders, etc. will be allowed.

The ratio won’t be 1:1. Rather something around 5:4.
In the beginning, all the earned impressions will be used to promote the network itself.
Later on, some ad packages will be sold to collect funds for hosting and maintenance.

If you’d like to be informed about the development, beta launch – register here: www.squarebanners.com.
