We want your ad to shine! Following the ad guidelines helps make sure your logo, message, and images look crisp and professional. When ads don’t meet the right specs, they can end up blurry or hard to read — and we want your business to stand out in the best way possible.
Not a designer? No problem. Here are a few easy tips:
Keep it simple: Logo, a short headline, and one clear message are plenty.
Use good quality images: Clear photos and logos always look better.
Make text easy to read: Big, bold fonts and strong contrast work best.
Less is more: Don’t feel like you need to fill the whole space — clean designs pop.
Add a next step: A website, social handle, or QR code makes it easy for people to connect.
And if this still feels like a lot, don’t worry — our graphic designer can create your ad for you! Just share your logo, content copy, and any photos you’d like, and we’ll put it together so your ad looks great.
