Why GIF Animation Now?

Originally introduced in 1987, the GIF format lost ground during the rise of Flash. However, with the spread of smartphones and increased compatibility with social media platforms, GIF animations are now making a strong comeback globally. Their unique motion and visual appeal grab users’ attention and are now widely used in social media posts, ads, email marketing, and websites to enhance campaign performance.

Benefits of GIF Animation Banners

  • Visually engaging
  • Delivers a story in motion
  • Captures viewer interest
  • Highlights your brand message

While it may be tempting to produce banners in-house to cut costs, the truth is: marketing and branding expertise often directly correlates with performance. Partnering with a specialized external agency like FLOURISH can significantly improve your long-term ROI and campaign effectiveness.


Expanding Your Marketing Potential with GIF Animation

At FLOURISH, we provide an end-to-end service that not only creates visually compelling GIF banners but also integrates them strategically within your marketing efforts. We have already tested and validated their effectiveness through real campaigns

Email Campaign A/B Test: GIF vs Static Banner

We conducted an A/B test using two types of email newsletters sent to a segmented audience:

  1. With a GIF animation banner
  2. With a static banner

Results:

  • Click-through rate for the GIF version: 3.29%
  • Click-through rate for the static version: 0.66%
  • The winner (GIF) was sent to the remaining recipients, resulting in an overall click rate of 4.77%

SNS Advertising Results: Amateur vs Designer-Made Banners

In our SNS advertising campaigns, results varied significantly depending on the creative materials provided. When a professional designer created banners using the provided assets, we achieved a 60% reduction in customer acquisition cost compared to using raw, amateur materials.

A Strategic Approach to GIF Animation

While GIF animation offers benefits in both branding and marketing, it also comes with higher production complexity. That’s why we recommend working with skilled designers and marketers.

FLOURISH offers a fully integrated service—from planning and creative development to ad operations—through a team of dedicated planners and designers.
