Spongecell is my new best friend. No, it's not a sea creature. It's an online technology that turns a traditional banner ad into a mini website. It makes the banners come alive!
So let's say you create a banner ad in flash. At the end of the ad, the witness normally has the option to click on the banner to attend a chosen url. With it, you have an extra three or four different buttons to click on at the bottom of the banner ad. Every time your mouse rolls over one of the buttons, a new visual is displayed in the banner ad.
For example, If I am merchandising a travel destination, I may admit three tabs at the bottom that offer people the chance to click on the tab to see a sample 3-day itinerary, watch a video or book a room. If the witness clicks on the 3-day itinerary button, a new windowpane pops up displaying the itinerary without going the current page. So you aren't taking people off of the site they were on when they originally saw the ad. Another button power showcase a sizzle video so people have a chance to see how beautiful the destination is or they can click on the "book now" button to book a room.

Each click takes them to a different place. And with each click, it's one more chance to connect with the audience. Sometimes witnesss will click onto the video, decide they love what they see so click on the "book now" link. Without these tabs, I am limited to one traditional link. If that link doesn't appeal to my audience, I lose them.
