Banner ad format is so popular that there is even a term - banner blindness. Nevertheless, you will see banner ads at any website you visit. Why? - Because banner is a very adaptive ad format. So, following couple easy steps by creating your banner campaign for Halloween will bring you more conversions.

First of all, choose either all sizes available, or at least most popular sizes. This will guarantee that the ad will look attractive on mobile devices and desktop versions.

The Mainstream industry banner dimensions - 320 x 50 px, 300 x 250 px, and 320 x 480 px.
