1. Giving to much detail

When you create your ad you want to give just enough information to get them to your site where they can get the rest. You don’t want to write a book or copy your website word for word. People basically want an ad that is short, sweet, and to the point.

2. Not giving enough information

When writing your ad you don’t want to not give enough information. If you write an ad that says “We have great products, go here to see them.” People most likely won’t click. You need to tell them what kin of products you have and very simply how they can help them.

3. Pictures

Using pictures is a great way to show your ad readers your products. Unfortunately they can be distracting as well. The ad can take to long to download because of the pictures or the pictures don’t come in at all and that can be bad as well. So your best bet is to not use them.

So there you have it. Three things you need to avoid when submitting your ads. Whether you use text ads or flyers you need to follow these tips and you will have better success with your advertising campaign.
