  17. Banner ads • With increased bandwidth and high-speed Web delivery to most homes, these interactive banners may become more important in the future. • How effective is banner advertising? • E-marketers should measure results against the banner’s objective to determine effectiveness. • Research shows that Web banners help build brands and generate a small click-through (on average less than 0.5%).
