MANY INDIVIDUAL ELEMENTS COME INTO PLAY MAKING A SUCCESSFUL
AD:
1. PERSUASIVE SELLING COPY. The wording is the single most
important element in determining a successful ad. What counts
most is what you say and how you say it.
2. PLACEMENT IN APPROPRIATE PUBLICATION. This might seem
obvious, but it is often neglected. If the right people don't see
your ad, they can't respond.
3. SPACE/PRICE IN PROPORTION. You simply can't sell high priced
merchandise from a small classified or one inch ad space. These
should be considered as a low cost means of building a mailing
list by asking readers to write for more information. If you
expect to sell directly from an ad, the size of the ad will have
to increase in proportion to the selling price. Two or three
inches of space for items selling for 42 to $5... half or full
page for items selling for more than $5 up to $20. When the price
goes above $20 it is usually best to run inquiry ads and follow
up with a printed sales presentation. There are exceptions, but
this is a fairly safe rule to follow.
4. TESTING ALL THE ELEMENTS. Unlike institutional advertising
(toothpaste, cars, soap, etc.) which must rely on extensive
market research, analysis, surveys and a lot of psychology to
achieve success, mail order selling has a built-in "watchdog" to
guard against waste and loss, and to help assure that every
dollar spent will produce a profit...or at least tell you why it
didn't, so you won't make the same mistake twice. This method
(unique to mail order) is called KEYING. By inserting a number or
letter (or combination) into every ad you run, you can tell which
ad works in which publication and in which issues it works best.
More sophisticated forms of this testing technique can be carried
thru by trying a new headline, a different
testimonials,guarantees, etc. The testing technique know no
limits, but there is also danger in becoming test-happy. To use
the testing principle effectively, be certain that the results
will justify the time and expense of making the test. If it
merely means adding to your paperwork without adding profit or
reducing cost,it isn't worth it.
