Banner ads act as a mini-bill-board on the web announcing your site or service.  It is an excellent way to advertise your business to potentially millions of people world wide! Deeper impressions are obtained by users clicking through to your own web site or a larger ad.

Location
There is a home banner ad located on the Vancouver Internet home page, and primary banners located on the main page of each major section in the Vancouver Travel and Tourisim Guide.   Finally secondary banners can be placed in any section that may be applicable eg, restaurants in the food section.

Design
An attractive alternative to hiring a web designer to create your ad, is to design the banner yourself.  You can create your banner ad using one or more of the following graphic programs.
