Do your ads stand out? Or do they dissolve into the mush of sameness? Remember, your audience will see your ad, not in a vacuum but with dozens of competitive ads in the same or similar online websites or magazines.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Do your ads stand out? Or do they dissolve into the mush of sameness? Remember, your audience will see your ad, not in a vacuum but with dozens of competitive ads in the same or similar online websites or magazines. If your ads stand out, you\u2019re ahead by a length.<\/p>\n

Now move in a little closer to your ads. Close enough to get the feel or image they project Like a new salesperson who walks through the door, the first thing people react to is the overall image he or she projects. It\u2019s the same with advertising.<\/p>\n

The colors, the design, the typeface should be consistent with the image of your company. A tennis shoe salesperson can wear a referee shirt and a whistle around his or her neck, a medical sales rep can\u2019t. If your ads are in sync with the image of your company, you\u2019re a step closer to your audience and a sale.<\/p>\n

Next comes an equally important aspect: consistency. All your ads should project the same image. No, they don\u2019t have to have the same visual or the same headline. They should, however, look like they all come from the same company. After all, this image is your \u201cfamiliar face\u201d in the crowd. It\u2019s also something you worked very hard to create. And it\u2019s uniquely yours, no one else\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Just like a good salesperson who finally got in the door to make that first sale. You wouldn\u2019t dream of switching salespeople after that. If your ads look like they came from several different companies, your audience might assume your product does. If your ads pass this test, effective advertising is within your reach. Which is exactly where you need to be for the next step.<\/p>\n

The object of this test is to see how well you\u2019ve positioned yourself. Yes, you can now read your ads, but not for details. How you position yourself should be fairly evident by the time you finish the first paragraph. Positioning is basically how your audience perceives your product, service or company.<\/p>\n

For example, businessmen, engineers and students all need computers, yet each has a different idea of what computers can do for them. Advertise a computer to a businessman and you might do better to position it as a management or accounting tool. Students might respond better to an ad showing computers as a writing and study aid. And engineers would be better persuaded to buy a computer if you positioned it as a design or research tool. In each case, the products are the same but the positioning generates the unique appeal for any given market.<\/p>\n

The greater the appeal, the greater the sales. If you\u2019ve done your research, your positioning should bring the reader a little closer to your ad and your product.<\/p>\n

You are now going to concentrate on one ad. So pick your favorite one and move in close enough to read it in comfort.<\/p>\n

The headline and visual should answer the question \u201cwhat\u2019s in it for me.\u201d If it doesn\u2019t do that quickly and effectively, your audience may gloss over it without ever bothering to read it. Some of the best salesmen in the world start their pitch with a direct customer benefit\u2014even before they introduce the product. They\u2019ve learned that customers want to know right off what the product can do for them\u2014the big benefit.<\/p>\n

If your product\u2019s benefit is buried in the body and your main visual is an un-involving product shot or a photo of earth floating in space, your ad won\u2019t go the distance. And the sale will go to your competitor.<\/p>\n

The time for the close-up: the body copy. It should \u201cpayoff\u2019 or back up the claim you made in the headline by forcefully and effectively communicating your product\u2019s key benefits. In essence, you still have to answer the Question \u201cwhat\u2019s in it for me,\u201d but now you have more room to do it. You can be flowery, you can be humorous, you can even get technical. But you must convince the reader that there is a strong benefit to be gained in choosing your product over the rest.<\/p>\n

If you\u2018ve done a good job, your ad goes the distance. What\u2019s left is what all good salesmen do before they leave.<\/p>\n

Close in and Ask for the Order!<\/p>\n

For this, you\u2019ll have to get in close to the bottom of your ad.<\/p>\n

Close enough to read your call to action, which should be short and direct, leaving no doubt in the reader\u2019s mind what to do after reading the ad\u2014call, clip a coupon or a better price. It should also be clear as to what the reader can expect to receive\u2014more information, arrange a demo, get a trial sample.<\/p>\n

The reader shouldn\u2019t have to get too close to read this either. Remember, when a salesperson asks for the order or gives his or her phone number, it\u2019s always loud and confident, never a whisper.<\/p>\n

There are obviously many market, demographic and personal factors we haven\u2019t considered. But if you meet the key objectives we\u2019ve introduced, your audience can\u2019t help but close in on your ad and your product. And that\u2019s what effective advertising is all about.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
