BidBlink sells brand new name-brand products and gift cards at huge discounts. Every item on our site is guaranteed to sell at 90% off or more from retail price. We use a penny auction format for selling goods (popcorn bidding, prepaid bids, etc). We have been in business since 2009 and have had over 8,000 auctions. We try to bring fun to the shopping experience.
We are targeting a general web audience. This ad will be used for affiliate marketing as well as PPC campaigns. In general, we tend to have more women than men, aged 25-35, some kids, and accessing our site from home; However, we do not want to limit our targeting to only this audience. We want users that like to shop, get a good deal, and like to take risks.
Require 4 banner ads to be created; they can all be similar in content and remove images, copy, as necessary to fit into each banner ad size.
