Inadequate Call-to-Action: Not providing a clear and compelling reason for readers to take action (e.g., visit your website, make a purchase).
Cluttered Design: Overloading your ad with excessive text, images, or graphics, making it difficult to read and understand.
Incorrect Size: Using a size that is too small to be impactful or too large to fit in intended placement.
Substandard Print Quality: Using low-quality paper or ink, resulting in a blurry or distorted image.
Grammatical and Spelling Errors: Mistakes in grammar or spelling can undermine the professionalism and credibility of your ad.
Unengaging Content: Creating an ad that is not visually appealing or lacks interesting or informative content.
Lack of Consistency: Failing to maintain a consistent message and brand identity across all print materials.
Poor Placement: Choosing a placement that is not relevant to your target audience or has low visibility.
