Ideas that stop the scroll
1. Headline: one big promise next to the product. 2. Bold Statement / Reaction Headline: a short, loud line that sounds like a person talking. 3. Curiosity Gap + Scroll-Stopper Hook: a line that makes people want the rest. 4. Negative Marketing (Bait & Switch): open on a complaint, then turn it into the reason to buy.
Ideas that prove a claim
5. Verified Review Card: a real-looking review with stars. 6. Pull-Quote Review Card: one quoted sentence, large. 7. Press / Editorial: the product shown like a magazine feature. 8. Social Comment Screenshot + Product: a comment bubble beside the product.
Ideas that compare and ideas that sell the offer
9. Us vs Them: your product against the usual option. 10. Comparison Grid / Table: ticks and crosses across features. 11. Whiteboard Before / After + Product Hold: the change drawn by hand.
12. Offer / Promotion: the discount first. 13. Hero Statement + Icon Bar + Offer Burst: benefit icons and a price burst. 14. Bundle Showcase + Benefit Bar: everything in the box, laid out.

Frequently asked questions
What makes a good banner ad idea?+
One job per banner. Pick whether it should stop the scroll, prove a claim, compare, or sell an offer, then let the layout serve that one job.
How much text should a banner ad have?+
Less than you think on small sizes. Reviral's 300 x 250 layout is built for one short headline, one product and one optional button, with no small body text.
Can I turn these ideas into banners for my product?+
Yes. Upload one product photo to Image Ads, pick the layout and size, and each finished banner costs 3 credits (~$0.04).
