do I write a good &#8220;native&#8221; text ad for my business?<\/h3><div class=\"faq-answer\" rel=\"?question=write-good-native-text-ad-business\"><p>A text ad acts as a &#8220;native&#8221;\u00a0ad for your business in BubbleLife\u2019s daily newsletter and homepage. Designed to make a viewer click, thinking they are going to read an article to learn more. \u00a0\u00a0Some text ads provide very strong calls to action to them to click to see more\u00a0of call\u00a0your phone number.<\/p>\n<p><i>HEADLINE:\u00a0<\/i>40 character headline (spaces included)<\/p>\n<p>Make sure to write a content-centric, catchy headline that will draw viewers\u2019 attention.<\/p>\n<p>Good: \u201cCombining Medicine Helps Manage Pain\u201d<br \/>\nBad: \u201cCall Architect John Smith\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>PARAGRAPH:\u00a0<\/i>40 word maximum<\/p>\n<p>For the body of the text ad, include useful, interesting information. However, refrain from offering too much information, as you\u2019re looking for the viewer to find out more by clicking the link to your website or landing page. Include a strong call to action to incentivize viewers to click the link provided.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure the ad links to your website or a landing page with a lead capture form to collect visitor information for follow-up.<\/p>\n<p>See the following examples of good text ads:<\/p>\n<p><b>Combining Medicine Helps Manage Pain <\/b><br \/>\nFor pain management, the Kotsanis Institute combines traditional and functional medicine with nutrition.<br \/>\nClick here to learn how to make your pain go away.<\/p>\n<p><b>More Mosquito Pools Testing Positive West Nile Virus is in Dallas <\/b><br \/>\nIt&#8217;s time to do everything to protect your property.

So, a good ad gives viewers something to remember. Then, when they need your product or service or are looking for something to do, they&#8217;ll recall the ad from memory. A name and a good tag line work together to get this done. For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;Smith Plumbing &#8211; Best Plumber in the City&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Acme Dental &#8211; Voted #1 Dentist&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Jones Realty &#8211; Most Knowledgeable in the Market&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;School Carnival &#8211; The most fun you&#8217;ll have this weekend&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Good graphics and a clean layout help make the message standout.<\/p>\n<p><b>Something to Do<\/b><br \/>\nThe second most important thing in a digital ad is to give the viewer something to do. This is called a call-to-action. The better the call to action, the better the response to the ad. For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;Click here for 40% off your first visit&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Call today for a free consultation&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Download our whitepaper on buying a home in Dallas&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Contact us to learn more&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Click here for details&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Don&#8217;t Forget Follow-Through<\/b><br \/>\nDon&#8217;t forget that when a viewer clicks on your ad, they&#8217;ll expect something that follows up on the\u00a0call-to-action. If your\u00a0call-to-action is for a 40% off coupon, then the next page should ask them for an email address to receive the coupon. The worst thing you can do is take a good strong\u00a0call-to-action and then direct them to the front page of your website where they are left wondering what to do next. Always try to look at the ad from a new customer&#8217;s standpoint and think &#8220;does this make sense?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><i>Remember that BubbleLife Connect let&#8217;s you easily create landing pages that can be used as ad destinations.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>Designing Your Ad<\/b><br \/>\nIf you have someone design your ad, here&#8217;s a quick list of questions to answer that helps get the best layout and determine the best call-to-action:<\/p>\n<p>Basic Details<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Company, Organization or Event Name<\/li>\n<li>Phone Number (if applicable)<\/li>\n<li>Address (including location relative to other larger businesses or intersections)<\/li>\n<li>Start and End Dates (if applicable)<\/li>\n<li>Website or landing page URL<\/li>\n<li>Graphics including logos and pictures of storefronts, interiors, activities, previous works, owner or employees.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Previous Ad Experiences<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Samples of previous ads with good results<\/li>\n<li>Messages you&#8217;ve used in brochures, mailers or emails<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Marketing Questions to Help<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>How would you describe your business, organization or event in one sentence?<\/li>\n<li>How do you describe this to friends?<\/li>\n<li>Why do customers choose you over competitors?<\/li>\n<li>Why would a new customer choose your business?<\/li>\n<li>What is the most typical service you provide?<\/li>\n<li>What is the most profitable service you provide?<\/li>\n<li>What does a typical customer look like?<\/li>\n<li>How long have you been in business?<\/li>\n<li>Have you received any awards or recognitions?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"single-faq expand-faq\"><h3 id=\"?question=relationship-bubblelife-marketing-partners\" class=\"faq-question expand-title\">What is the relationship between BubbleLife and its Marketing Partners?<\/h3><div class=\"faq-answer\" rel=\"?question=relationship-bubblelife-marketing-partners\"><p>BubbleLife Marketing Partners are independent agents are not supervised or monitored by BubbleLife.
