Both are super easy to use. Bannersnack will allow you to create fully animated html5 banners with solid call to action buttons that are (this is very important) fully compliant with ad serving platforms like the one we use to allow proper click tracking.

For a display advertising campaign, 0.1% is a respectable click thru rate. That works out to 1 click per 1000 ad displays.

In fact I’d argue it can be a pure stroke […] The post A Discovery-Based Approach to Maximizing Social Media ROI appeared first on VMR.
