Bannersnack offers comprehensive graphic design features that rival the likes of big name software, while leaving the unnecessary convolution out. This application allows your marketing experts to create very comprehensive banners without the need to understand the complexities of more expensive, confusing software.
Banner and logo design is one of the biggest applications for graphic design in the corporate world. Basically a condensed, marketing version of the rapid exposure infographic concept, banners make up a solid 90% of all advertising. While any comprehensive graphic design program can be used to make good banners, these programs require adept knowledge of all design tools. This means that your marketing team may have to outsource marketing work to designers, which is slow and costly.
Luckily, software specifically geared toward banners exists, and they’re pretty powerful these days. However, a banner maker app like Bannersnack is a new breed of software altogether.
Features
- WYSIWYG Interface – Anyone used to simpler graphics programs such as Paint will feel at home with the no-nonsense, intuitive interface of Bannersnack. It provides simple color pickers, obvious tools for cropping, shape creation, layer management, and more. There’s little to no training necessary, save for the more advanced features. Reduced training time means better ROI, which is very important.
- Animation – Animation is made easy with this banner maker tool. It does require a bit more training, but that means it might be a few hours before someone can animate expertly with it. It can export to HTML5 for high-res, high framerate banners that can even respond to the user. These replace the old shockwave/Flash standard for resolution-independent applet banners which many browsers no longer support automatically. You can also produce animated GIF images.
- Training is Even Easier – There exists a tutorial for anything you need to do in this application, from simple import of images and doing a basic layout, all the way up to responsive animation. These are available from the developers, and the community. You won’t be unsure of how to accomplish a given goal for very long.
- Social Media Optimization – Various types of layouts available are optimized for use with social media campaigns, including Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and many more. Elevate your guerilla social media marketing with ease. You can even take advantage of Google and Facebook ads APIs, directly.
Pricing
Bannersnack actually lists their prices and plans, and there are four versions: Free, Starter, Pro, and a Plus plan. The prices are monthly, but billed on a yearly basis.
The Free and Starter plans are too limited to actually be that useful, in all honesty, but the Pro and Plus plans are remarkably affordable. Even a small business could afford the Plus, if this is a technology they intend to use consistently, meaning that this is a rare case where all businesses should probably opt for the top tier right out of the gate. |
