What is banner writing?
Banner writing is the creation of the short text used on banners: the headline, the supporting line and the call to action. It is used on websites, display ads, social media, events and print, wherever a message must be read quickly and understood at a glance.
Good banner copy is brief, clear and focused on one idea. It speaks to the viewer’s need, highlights a single benefit or offer, uses simple words that read well at any size, and finishes with a call to action that tells people what to do next.
