Banner ads in general

  1. In what places do you notice banner ads most often?

    Multiple choice

    • City center
    • Malls
    • Railway stations
    • Metro stations
    • Local streets
    • Busy roads
    • Other, in their own words

    Why ask it. Shows where outdoor banners get noticed at all. Use it when you choose sites for the next placement.

  2. Do you pay attention to banner ads?

    Single choice

    • Yes, always
    • Sometimes
    • Rarely
    • Never

    Why ask it. The baseline: how much attention banners get in general, before you ask about yours.

  3. Have you ever bought products or services based on banner ads?

    Yes / No

    • Yes
    • No

    Why ask it. Separates people who act on banners from people who only see them.

Your banner

  1. Have you seen the banner ads of our brand?

    Yes / No

    • Yes
    • No

    Why ask it. Your banner’s recall. A No skips the questions about your banner and goes straight to the profile. Put your brand name in the question so people know which banners you mean.

  2. Where did you see our banner ad?

    Open answer

    Why ask it. The spot in the respondent’s own words. It shows which placements people remember.

  3. Evaluate the banner ad’s location

    Rating 1–5

    Why ask it. A score for the placement itself, apart from the design. Low scores point to a site to drop next time.

  4. How do you feel about the banner ad?

    Single choice

    • Positive
    • Neutral
    • Negative

    Why ask it. The overall reaction. People who choose Positive or Neutral skip the next question.

  5. Is there anything you don’t like in the ad?

    Open answer

    Why ask it. Only people with a negative reaction see it, and each answer names something to fix in the design or the message.

Profile

  1. What’s your gender?

    Single choice

    • Male
    • Female

    Why ask it. Shows whether men and women notice and judge the banner differently. Add more options if your audience needs them.

  2. What’s your age?

    Single choice

    • Younger than 18
    • 18–24
    • 25–34
    • 35–44
    • 45–54
    • 55–64
    • 65 and older

    Why ask it. Shows whether the banner reaches the age group it was made for.

How to read banner ad survey results.

Recall of your banner

The share who answer Yes to question four is your banner’s recall. Question five shows, in people’s own words, which spots they remember.

Location and reaction

The 1–5 location rating and the positive, neutral or negative reaction give two numbers to compare from one campaign to the next.

What to change

Open answers from people with a negative reaction list what to fix. Export everything to Excel, CSV or SPSS on any plan.

How to get more people to answer.

  1. Ask near the banner

    A QR code on a flyer or a poster near the placement reaches the people who pass it every day.

  2. Ask while it is up

    Run the survey while the banner is still on the street, so people answer about what they saw this week.

  3. Name the brand

    Write your brand name into question four, so people know exactly which banner you are asking about.

  4. Compare with an area without it

    Ask the same questions where your banner does not hang. The difference in recall shows what the banner added.

Questions about this template

What questions should a banner ad survey ask?

Where people notice banners, how much attention they pay to them, whether they saw your banner and where, how they rate its location, how they feel about it and what they dislike. This template asks all of it in ten questions.

Is it for outdoor banners or online banner ads?

The template is written for outdoor banners in the city center, malls, stations and along roads. For online display ads, replace the places in question one with websites, apps and social networks.

Do people who did not see our banner get the follow-up questions?

No. A No on question four skips questions five to eight and goes straight to the profile. Only people who saw the banner rate it. Logic works on every plan, including Free, and you can change the rule in the builder.

How do I reach people who saw the banner?

Print the survey’s QR code on flyers near the placement, or share the link in local groups and on your social channels.

Are the answers anonymous?

Yes. The questions cover where people see banners and how they feel about yours, never who they are. Anonymous mode in the settings hides IP address, country, browser and device as well.

Ask before you book the next placement.

Put your brand in question four and hand out the QR code near the banner.
