The recently conducted research has shown that a significantly larger amount of people use mobile devices than they use the computers. Nowadays there are numerous so called smart devices which are not only phones but also tablet computers and portables in general. This expansion of the internet market onto the mobiles has resulted into opening an entirely new niche, according to which the marketers need to create their campaigns. Also there has been a lot of new software that automatically adjusts the existing banner advertising to the needs of the mobile market.

At this point it is worth noting that the annual revenue coming from the mobile banner ads has tripled in the past year alone. There is a good reason for this. Namely the increasing speed of life people lead pushes them to us the so called all in one device for the mobility purposes. On the other hand a variety of options for mobile advertising have thus appeared in the market. These options generally range from mobile app display ads, SMS, rich media including interactive banners, and video and push notifications.

The possibility of seizing the market of the mobile banner advertising should be done by the marketers since the mobile banners are able to precisely hit the target audience at specific time. Making the mobile banner stand out from the rest of the things available in the market is an art form in its own right. The limited amount of space makes the mobile marketers devise ingenious ways of getting to their respective audience both the design wise and the text wise.

What most of the mobile advertisers tend to do somewhat better than most of the others online advertisers is that they carefully zero in on the specific audience that is likely to be associated with the product that they are promoting thus significantly increasing the click through rate on their promotions. Another thing that should not be overlooked when the mobile banners are at stake is that the limited space given on the mobile devices significantly reduces the overall cost of the campaign, thus the marketers who work on a grater budget can increase the coverage of the ads.

As in other forms of banner advertising, the design of the mobile banners plays a crucial role in making the banners convert to money. However the same rules that apply for the regular banner design also apply for the mobile applications. The simplicity of the design and the straight forward nature of the message that calls for action are the paramount in the design. The reduced mobile space works to the advantage of the advertisers since the focus is shifted towards the clarity of the message and the graphics that attracts the customer’s curiosity and calls for the immediate action. Also interactive or animated mobile ads that are in the market have been applying the minimalistic principles of the design, making the customers immediately wanting to look for more information on the subject matter in the question.

Finally it can be stressed that any future marketer should carefully pick and choose the mobile application for the placement of his or her ad since the placement in the mobile ads plays an even more crucial role with mobile applications than with regular online marketing.
