Before you keep reading for the reasons you clicked this article for, let me ask you two things: How much time do you spend on writing an article for your blog and how much time do you spend on finding an ideal image for that article?
And if your answer to the second question was “a little” or “very little” or “I really don’t spend time on finding a picture for an article“, I want to show you some statistics that prove the importance of visual in an article:
- Visual content performs better than likes, comments, and shares on Facebook (Source: Jeff Bullas)
- Visual content drives engagement. (Source: Simply Measured)
- On average, articles containing relevant images have 94% more total views than articles without images. (MDG Advertising)
And blogging is not that easy, right? If in the beginning you just had to create a relevant article for your readers you now have to find the ideal visual for the article and the readers, you have to promote the articles on different social networks and even invest money in promoting your blog. But what if I told you that for everything that is image/banner maker and display advertising Bannersnack is the optimal solution?
Here are five reasons why you, a blogger, could use our app. :
1. Create your own images
“A picture is a thousand words” might already sound cliché but how about having all the visuals that make a thousand words stocked in a cloud app where you could edit them whenever you want? Moreover, what if you could also see the statistics for how your visuals performed? That’s right.
Think about Bannersnack like a cloud type Photoshop solution for images. (via Raul Popa)
And through our app you can create static or dynamic images and you can save them in you favorite format (.swf, .gif, .png or .jpeg)
2. Embed Images
A blogger’s job is to create relevant content for his readers and our job is helping you, the blogger, optimize your work so that everything moves how it’s supposed to. That’s why we offer the embed code solution for your images so you won’t have to lose valuable time for writing the code. It’s all done with one simple copy/paste to the right place.
3. Create your display advertising on your blog
Because you’ve had clients that were willing to pay for having their banner on your blog, but without even having a design and you had to work for hours and hours to get to the same place.Through Bannersnack, an hour’s long work can be done in just a few minutes, and we even offer templates in different sizes for you to work on.
Just imagine you could create your own advertising space, in your own style and preference.
4. Social Media sizes
Tell us, how many times have you struggled with specific size issues in images that you were supposed to upload to certain social networks and you’ve wasted precious time in finding the right size? This is why we’ve come up with a latest update to ease your work of finding the ideal size for the desired social network.
So, what do you think about these reasons? Are you going to start using Bannersnack?

January 21, 2015Great post Robert and I definitely agree with the importance of visual media being included in any bloggers efforts – really any online effort if you ask me. This looks like a cool app and I will have to try it out. Yesterday a friend of mine helped me turn on the Twitter cards on my blog. On Twitter images get more engagement, then tweets without.
