New ad formats

Leave a Reply

We’re trialing some new ad formats.

One sits on the left and right hand sides of the screen, the other on the footer of the page. They’re designed to not be too intrusive, but to tempt those interested to interact with them.

When the reader hovers over the graphics for three seconds, a new, full screen advert is shown. Each of the has a Minimise arrow too.

There will always be a X in the top left of the screen to close the full screen advert down, once readers have finished interacting with them.

We’re being selecting as to which brands/campaigns we’re allowing to be shown – picking ones that we think chime with our readership.

Examples
