The Bakery Ad Makeover
Priya started an online bakery business and decided to run ads for her cakes
Her first banner ad had:
Too much text
Low-quality images
No clear offer
The Bakery Ad Makeover
Then she redesigned it:
Attractive cake image
“Fresh Cakes Delivered in 30 Minutes”
Bright colors
“Order Now” button
She also created a short video showing cake preparation and happy customers.
The Bakery Ad Makeover
This time, people clicked, shared, and placed orders
Priya realized:
“Good creatives don’t just look nice—they make people take action.”
