Investing in Display advertising is a great way to increase your eCommerce sales. Display advertising consists of banner ads that are displayed on retailer sites like Amazon, Instacart, Target, Walmart and others. Or on their networks of related sites. Banners displayed on retailer sites are called onsite banners, while banners on the retailer network sites are called offsite banners. Both help drive awareness for your brand, product or specific promotions.

The Media Creation Process

Traditionally, design teams create media by working with existing templates or creating them from scratch. In either case, sophisticated design tools are required. Even with years of experience, updating the assets for an entire campaign can take from a few hours to multiple days.

That’s because templates often come in a variety of sizes and formats:

• Individual design files for each banner size.
• Multiple layouts within each design, the choice of which depends on the quantity and type of included text and images.
• Multiple formats, such as Preview and Delivery, along with requirements for file naming, file formats and maximum file sizes.

In addition to various design requirements, designers often need to incorporate multiple revision cycles to address feedback from marketing, legal and other parties.
