What to put on a banner ad?
To make sure that our banner gets noticed and is effective amidst the architecture of today’s world, it is necessary to start by determining where it will be placed. Currently, you can distinguish several of the most popular places that allow you to hang up your ad. These include the sides of buildings in the city center, specially prepared structures along roads, fences of private properties or advertising trailers. Each of these cases mentioned should be focused on a completely different distribution and amount of information contained in the design.

Encouraging graphics

Contact information
Detailed data is a key factor in allowing customers to easily choose between different communicators.

Scope of services
The range of services helps customers learn about the offerings and make an informed choice about whether the offerings are for them.
-
Additional information
Additional information makes the choice easier in deciding on a service. Depending on the type of business, you can add, among other things. opening hours of the premises.
Banners of this type are most often placed in low-traffic areas, where only a specific, local community is the recipient of the advertisement. As a result, much more informationcan be posted on this medium than in other locations. This is so that the potential customer can stop for a moment and carefully examine the entire offer. It will write down a contact number or take a picture without much trouble.

Example based on an advertisement for an electronics store
-
Name/Logo
A logo or name is an extremely important component of a corporate identity that becomes fixed in the memory of potential customers.
-
Advertising slogan
It presents our offer, promotion or information in an easy and simple way.
-
Graphic elements
Duplicated graphic elements or interesting graphics of, for example, a product attract attention and fill the empty spaces in the banner space.
-
General information
Data such as the duration of the promotion, how to get to the store or a single contact information is quite sufficient for this type of banner.
Advertising on the side of a building is often placed in the center of a city. The heavy traffic of both cars and pedestrians allows it to reach a really huge clientele. Unfortunately, people are in a hurry everywhere, and the only moments in which a banner might interest them are, for example, standing in traffic or waiting for a bus. These are such brief moments of gaining a customer’s attention that there is no point in listing all available services or contact information. The recipient of such information will simply not remember it. That’s why it’s worth investing free space mainly for a large general offer and name/logo. This will allow potential customers to search for more information on their own at a later, quieter time.

Truncated contact information
Contact information should include, for example, the address, the date and time the center is open, and a telephone number (if we deem it necessary).
A banner on an advertising trailer is an incredibly mobile advertising tool. It gains customers both by moving through the city’s traffic and by standing in the parking lot. Therefore, it is worth using its surface in a thoughtful way distinguishing first of all your logo, offer and basic contact information. Even if the trailer only flashes in traffic, any of these items will be caught and searched for, for example, on the Internet.
Banner along the road
Example based on a roadside restaurant
-
Name/Logo
In this case, the logo or name plays the most important role and you should make sure that it is the most eye-catching. Placing the logo on the banner will allow the premises to be easily recognized from the competition.
-
Encouraging graphics
The graphics should present the service in a simple way, in this case, for example, food so that a potential customer passing the ad can read the advertisement without any problem.
-
Truncated contact information
The contact information on such banners should be narrowed down to only, for example, the address of the premises or showing which exit to take to get to the destination, without requiring additional steps like typing the address into the navigation.
Banners along a highway, for example, are passed by thousands of drivers every day. Thus, they are ideal advertising for all kinds of roadside eateries or businesses based outside the city. Unfortunately, due to the speed of such roads, it causes the driver or passenger of the car to have only a moment to notice the advertisement. That’s why detailed information such as phone number, email, social media or specific services is pointless in this case and only wastes space. A potential customer won’t have that much time to remember/write down a phone number or learn about particular services, so we strongly discourage posting just this type of information.
What elements are worth putting on advertising gadgets?
Advertising gadgets are one of the most frequently chosen media for advertising messages. Thanks to their functionality and low price, they are a kind of guarantee for a successful souvenir of any kind of event or competition. They also work great as gifts for regular customers and company employees.
To properly and fully utilize the space on advertising gadgets, they should be divided into three categories based on the size of the item. First, small promotional gifts such as pens, flash drives and key rings. Then medium-sized gadgets among others. Mugs, notebooks or folders. In addition, large items in which we can highlight backpacks, blankets or even advertising hammocks. This division allows us to determine how limited we are by the gadget’s surface area.
Small gadgets
-
Signet
Due to its small area, the signet or logo is the most common option.
The surface of a pen, for example, does not allow for detailed graphics or information. That’s why a simple logo or even the signet itself is most often placed.
Medium gadgets
-
Logo
A full-size logo is as desirable as possible in this type of gadget.
-
Graphic elements
Simple graphics or single elements enrich the whole and fill the space distinguishing the item from others.

Individual contact information
Information such as a website address, for example, should be treated as an add-on and attract the least attention.
Medium gadgets allow you to put much more information. However, it should be remembered that these types of gadgets are supposed to be functional and aesthetic first and foremost, and only then advertising. Therefore, placing too much information may cause, for example, reluctance to use the mug.

What to put on a Car Sticker?
Car stickers are an effective way of personalization and promotion. They can be placed on different parts of the car, such as the hood, side panels, rear window or doors. Car stickers are a mobile advertising medium that will reach a wide audience, whether on the road, in a parking lot or in public places. They have the potential to increase brand recognition, generate interest and build awareness. However, it is important to place the stickers in an aesthetically pleasing manner that complies with traffic regulations, so as not to impede visibility or compromise driving safety.
Car stickers are most often placed on the rear and side of the vehicle, as this is a strategic location that is important for visibility and advertising effectiveness. The rear of the car is often in the field of view of other drivers on the road, both while driving and while stationary. Placing a sticker on this part of the car obliges you to put the most important information right there.

It is nevertheless a small area, and precisely because of this you should not put too much information on it. Several phone numbers, different website and social media names, or listing numerous services will make the sticker unreadable and stop performing its main function of advertising.

A very common method is to put employees' names on the back of, for example, a sweatshirt or T-shirt. This is an extremely effective method when, for example, a dozen people are working on a customer's property, and he wants to strike up a conversation with a specific person. Usually when all employees are dressed alike, without any distinguishing marks a conversation like "Well this kind of gentleman..." ensues. The name on the T-shirt easily solves this problem.
Printed workwear is primarily intended to present employees in a professional manner while at work. Putting a lot of information there like a range of services or data like a cell phone would cause a lot of information clutter.
