How to use a personalized banner to increase your website traffic.

In more ways than one, driving traffic to the website is the foundation of sales for any online business. It’s no different for e-commerce websites. While the competition is stiff to stand out in the market, personalized banner might just make the cut for your brand.

Sale after sale, e-commerce brands are on the lookout to drive more traffic to website to own more meat of the pie. However, innovation isn’t restricted to coming up with enticing offers.

Ecommerce brands are investing & innovating heavily on banner with stunning creatives for promotions across multiple platforms.

65% recall rate when an image is paired with relevant content.

85% of online shoppers take action post watching a video.

Understanding user intent is the first step towards personalization. In the awareness phase, the prospect either has a need & is exploring more or is unaware of the need.

Consider an offline retail store. User visits the store with a need & finalises on the product that looks & feels good as per his need. An experience similar to this using banners and short videos online can prove to be a game-changer.

Leveraging personalized banner in the awareness phase of the customer journey:

Users might stumble upon your brand from any of the platforms-

• Search results
• Email
• Facebook
• Paid channels
• App etc.

The intent with which they click & land on your website could be different. For ex: A user looking for ‘white shirt for women’ in the search bar is a potential customer whose ready to buy. Meanwhile, a user clicking on promotional shirt Ad appearing on Facebook could be in a research phase.

A generic visual nudge for both the user would lead you nowhere. But, a discount coupon for the user in the research phase & a size guide for the user in “ready to buy” phase might turn out to be a deal-breaker.

With that premise, let’s go in detail about the personalized banner options.
