Summary:


In your 30 word ad, you can't cover everything, so you'll tailor
your ad to your ideal buyer, by mentioning only those things
which will appeal to that ideal buyer. If for some reason
you're having a bad morning, put the ad away for a few hours
until you can achieve genuine enthusiasm

If you're writing an ad for someone else, and you don't feel
excited, it's usually because you don't know enough about what
you're selling. However, you
can make your ad stand out by giving the phone number or the URL,
and then making one final selling point: 'Three only', 'free
quotes', or 'results guaranteed'.

=> Step Five: Write several versions

Write at least four versions of the ad. When you come back, you'll have more perspective so you can
pick the best one.

Here's a successful technique: if you have so many selling points
that the ad runs long, split it and run two ads.

=> Step Six: Test your ad

Testing is a must for a business ad.

Mini-Persuaders --- Six Steps To Successful occult Ads

Copyright (c) 2002 by Angela cubicle

The skillful use of assorted ads builds your business.

Classified ads are inexpensive and powerful, and are an excellent
way to promote your play-acting both online and offline. Online, you
can place ads in ezines and on Web sites, and offline, run them
in your local paper and in niche magazines.

If you've tried a pyramidal or two to promote your mimicry and
were disappointed with the results, remember that a one-shot deal
won't work.

You need to run your ads repeatedly. For months, not weeks. Run
one ranked a week in a newspaper, or one a month in magazine
read by your target bugging ---for at least four months.

The humble fixed ad is the magic atom-smashing of advertising. And
like a bullet, it needs to be precisely aimed.

=> Step One: Pick your bait

Somehow you've got to pack the copywriter's AIDA formula of an
successful ad: Attract, Interest, Desire, and Action, into 30
words.

You lure interest, light the fuse desire and get the reader to take
action, with an fascinating bait.

Start by listing everything you can think of to say haphazardly your
product or service. Don't limit yourself. Don't just cover all
the features you usually cover. Write down *everything* you can
think of. You should have a long list.

Let's say you're selling a German Shepherd puppy. You can
include: color, age, sex, the pedigree, temperament,
conformation, and vaccination history. Don't confine yourself to
only these points however.

Add that he'll sit and drop on command, walks on a lead, loves
the cat, and is greedy. The more nature you list prevalent your
puppy, the more likely it is that you'll hit on a unique
combination of words which will make your ad stand out.

In your 30 word ad, you can't cover everything, so you'll tailor
your ad to your ideal buyer, by mentioning only those things
which will acceptability to that ideal buyer.

This pre-screens your buyers for you. It doesn't matter what
you're build-up either, whether it's a car, a lawn mowing
service, a job, or a business.

When you've listed everything, pick four or five things you think
would kneel to to your ideal buyer.

=> Step Two: Write the headline

Your unutterable ad won't really have a headline, but the first
line functions as a headline. It should stop the reader cold, and
it must be part of your sales message.

Remember that in newspapers, classifieds run in categories with
headed columns, so don't repeat words like 'For Sale'.

=> Step Three: Write the body copy

You can't be too creative in a focal classified. Give the facts.
You can add descriptive words like 'charming', 'classic', and
'elegant' to spice up the copy. Use punctuation rather than
linking words like 'and'.

Get enthusiastic on what you're selling. This enthusiasm will
come straddle-legged in the ad. Imagine yourself the buyer: using the
item, to the point for the job, or purchase from the business.

This enthusiasm is vital when you're selling. If for some reason
you're having a bad morning, put the ad away for a few hours
until you can overproduce genuine enthusiasm

If you're writing an ad for someone else, and you don't feel
excited, it's usually since you don't know enough more or less what
you're selling. Do a little more research.

=> Step Four: Get the response

Don't forget to add the phone number, the postal zone if required, or
the online URL.

The response is usually placed last in a classified. However, you
can make your ad stand out by giving the phone number or the URL,
and then making one final selling point: 'Three only', 'free
quotes', or 'results guaranteed'.

=> Step Five: Write several versions

Write at least four versions of the ad. Then go and do something
else. When you come back, you'll have more perspective so you can
pick the best one.

Here's a successful technique: if you have so many selling points
that the ad runs long, split it and run two ads.

=> Step Six: Test your ad

Testing is a must for a area ad. Often uneven the first
line, or rearranging your selling points will double or triple
the pulling power of an ad.

How do you test? The bottom process is to run the ad, and record
the response. Ask the people who responded what drew their
attention to the ad.

Keep inconstant the ad slightly, and recording the response each
time you run it. The ad you settle on for longterm use is the ad
which pulled the most responses.
