How to create an animated advertisement

An animated banner is needed to attract your users' attention to the advertisement. Movement among static content will help marketers get around the "banner blindness" effect (more than 70% of users ignore ads in order to process information on the site faster). To create an animated banner, use BannerBoo's online ad maker.

Once you've created a static banner, you have the option to add “Build in” and “Build out” animations. This will add dynamism to your ad and make it more visible.

The animated banner is created in the timeline within the editor. At the beginning and end of the frames, there are corresponding buttons, and you can choose the effect you like by clicking on them. By clicking the "Preview" button, you can evaluate the result.
