2. The banner should not include any questionable imagery or risqué imagery (unless that is the business you are in and unfortunately they can’t go on the Hen House websites). Keeping your banners to a high standard makes a massive difference.
3. Colours in the quality digital ad banner should complement your logo and brand colours.
