Creative Best Practices

• Display Ad views at OnTheSnow have proven to drive direct ROAS and also lift the return of other media you have in market, so where applicable create a common thread across all digital channels
• Use the large palette to drive brand awareness, and any offers you want to incorporate
• Carefully consider layout options that will work well across each ad size/device
• Use colors that align with your brand guidelines
• Write a concise attention-grabbing headline
• Incorporate unique photography
• Adding a video asset is optional but highly recommended
• Include a highly visible button with a strong call-to-action – CTAs should be short, meaningful and action-oriented
• Add your brand’s logo
