Overview

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.

In brief

  • One clear idea per banner
  • Short, readable headlines
  • Benefit- or offer-led message
  • Strong calls to action
  • Right length for the size and space
  • Consistent brand voice
  • Options ready to test

What is banner writing?

It is the writing of the short text used on banners, such as the headline, supporting line and call to action, so that your message is clear at a glance.

How long should banner copy be?

As short as it can be while still making sense. The right length depends on the banner size and where it will appear, so we write to fit your format.

Can you provide more than one option?

Yes. Several headline and call-to-action options can be provided, so you can choose between them or test them.

Do you also design banners?

Our focus is the writing. The copy can be handed to your designer or design tool, and we can work from your layout or size list.

Can you write in our brand voice?

Yes. Share your tone, examples of copy you like and your audience, and the banner text will be written to fit them.

Can agencies outsource banner writing to IdeaPad Writers?

Yes. We can provide banner copy for agencies and design studios that create banners for their own or their clients’ brands.
