How to Create Converting Ad Creatives for Targeted Advertising: With Tips and Examples

Targeted advertising is different from regular advertising because it focuses on a specific audience. The goal is to show the ad to people who fit certain criteria like gender, age, marital status, and location. The advertiser’s job is to create content that will appeal only to the desired audience. They use various techniques such as metaphors, color schemes, puzzles, and mascots.

Now, let’s start by talking about the mistakes that can ruin an advertisement, aside from having a bad product or using a generic template.

  • Using stock images: When you use pictures that are easily found on the internet and used by many others, your ad can look cheap and out of place. These images don’t represent your brand and might have been used by other companies as well. They don’t provide much information about your product. This issue also applies to using generic templates. Some marketers think a template is just about adding text and a picture, without considering if the picture makes sense. Research shows that high-quality images have a greater impact on purchase decisions than reviews and lengthy descriptions, according to MDG Solutions.
The importance of target images

It’s better to use pictures that are relevant to the theme of your ad. The image should convey what the user will get from the advertised product.

  • Boring text: The text in your ad should evoke emotions in your target audience and address their specific needs. It should be clear and specific, hitting on their pain points. Sometimes marketers write phrases like “get a loan” or “visit our store,” or they focus too much on product features. Users generally don’t respond well to such ads. Your ad needs to catch people’s attention, but these empty templates fail to do so.
  • Lack of ideas: A good idea can bring your ad to life, while a boring idea will kill your ad’s performance. Users have become adept at ignoring most advertisements, so to overcome banner blindness, you need something eye-catching and unconventional, even if it’s based on a template.

To illustrate these mistakes, here are four examples of ads that incorporate all of them:

Using random pictures from the internet that don’t match the text or convey any emotions, and not including a clear call to action, is a mistake. It’s confusing because we don’t know what product is being advertised or what makes it special. We can’t understand the idea behind these poorly designed ads. They are like empty templates that fail to catch people’s attention.

To create high-converting ads, follow these simple rules:

Use informative images and illustrations: Use pictures, mascots, or real customer photos to grab attention. These images should give people an idea of what they’ll get from your product. Informative images are more convincing and help people understand your product better. Ads with pictures usually work better than text-only ads.

Include a call to action: Sometimes affiliates forget to include clear instructions for people to take action. Make it easy for them to buy your product or visit your store.

Write text that interests your target audience: Your text should have something that appeals to the people you’re targeting. Talk about the benefits that matter to them or tell a story that they can relate to. Your text should evoke emotions and promise solutions to their problems.

Make sure the text in pictures is easy to read: The letters in your pictures shouldn’t blend, and the font should be clear and attractive. The text shouldn’t distract from the image or look out of place.

Be creative and unique: The key to a good ad is having a unique idea. Most ads are generic and don’t stand out. You need something eye-catching and different to grab people’s attention. Mascots, catchy slogans, special colors – these things make your ad more interesting.

Now, let’s take a look at 16 successful examples that follow these rules. These ads gave brands a high return on investment and boosted sales by 1.5, 2, or even 3 times. We’ll see what tricks they used in these ads. We’ll also compare the results with the previous ad campaign before they made changes and improved the ads.
