There are 5 major components to good advertising copy (The order of these is essential to success):
1-Command Attention
2-Showcase Benefits of Products/Services
3-Prove the Benefits
4-Persuade People to Embrace the Benefits
5-Call to Action
Advertising is sales in print.
So, you need to think about the unique benefits your products/services offer and showcase that in a persuasive way.
You need to emphasize results, not features.
Let’s take a minute to talk about each of these components:
Command Attention:?This is usually accomplished with the headline. You need an attention-getter that makes people want to know more about your products/services. The best headlines vividly portray the benefits or show how to avoid a problem with your products/services. The headline is the advertisement for the advertisement.
Showcase Benefits:?You have to showcase the benefits of your products and services and, more importantly, show how they will solve or prevent a problem. They need to know what’s in it for them. Include useful, factual, and clear information to show what the benefits are and how they will help the customer.
Offer Proof:?This is where you prove what the advertisement is offering. It would help if you established that you have a method to deliver. Consider the information that establishes credibility and past performance.
Persuade:?You need to add compelling reasons for your potential customers to purchase your products/services. Use a hard sell approach and create scarcity. This will make your potential customers feel like they have to act now, leading to the last component.
Call to Action:?You need to compel your potential customers to DO something. They need to check out your site, sign up for your newsletter, purchase your products, contact you about services…something. Offer a freebie, booklet, sample, product, bonus, demo, consult, limited-time price…the list goes on. There are many ways to get potential customers excited about ordering and help them feel like they are getting a fantastic deal.
Good advertisements include all of these components and are not complete without any of them. You can sit down and think through any of these components, then figure out how to best place them together for the most effectiveness.
