The biggest challenge of banner ads is increasing online traffic, consumer involvement with ads and appealing to them to buy the product. Banner ads are an online marketing tool that allows marketers to promote their offering in the form of text, image and banner. The objective of this study is to find out the elements that help to engage the target consumer with ads and increase online traffic. This investigation has considered elements such as personalisation, contents and design of banner ads that upsurge the involvement of the target consumer and increase a click-through-rate. The convenience sampling technique was used to interview 376 respondents from North India. The result suggests that the personalisation of banner ads is a crucial element that grabs the attention of users on the banner network websites. The limitations and practical implications of the study have been discussed.
