HEADLINES THAT GRAB & HOLD |
| |
David Ogilvy, one of the world’s most successful copywriters,
claims that five times as many people read headlines than the body
copy. This being the case, creating the right headline gives you a
massive advantage.
TIPS
ON MAKING HEADLINES GRAB:
- Be provocative ... imagine the headline of a cosmetic surgeon
- "How Much Longer Do You Want to be
Wrinkled?"
- Be gracious ... advertising is an alternative to personal selling
- "Exceptionally
Well Balanced Car Seeks Like Minded Drivers" (John Bevins
for Peugeot).
- Sell your product by focusing on its benefits ... "The
Performance Rolls On" (MAP Marketing for SKF Bearings)
- Keep headlines short ... under 15 words -
"Reeboks Let U.B.U" (Marty Cook)
- Speak the language of your target market ... "Beyond
the Boundaries" (MAP for Monteath & Powys - Surveyors)
- Appeal to the reader’s curiosity ... "Who
Can Give You Tequila With a Psychotic Party Worm?" (MAP for
Ezypos)
- Build your company or product brand through strong headlines
... " A Rare Sight Indeed. Abominable
prints from an Olympus" (Paul Fishlock for Olympus Cameras
- accompanied with a visual of footprints of the Abominable
Snowman)
- Use powerful words to involve your reader ... new, how, you
... "You Can't Eat Atmosphere”
(Horn & Harbart). “It's Not Fancy. But It's Good"
(Ed McCabe)
- Make your headlines product relevant ... "Advice
at the Touch of a Keystroke" (MAP for Kilpatrick Lake - Accountants)
- Arouse visual images in the reader’s mind ... "We
Stole Their Land, Their Buffalo and Their Women. Then We Went
Back for Their Shoes’ (Tim Delaney for Timberland)
- Use emotional words...."Do This or
Die" (Bob Levenson)
- Arouse curiosity ..."Astronaut Wanted
No Experience Necessary" (Simon Dicketts for Juno Mission)
- Avoid using superlatives such as fantastic, amazing, unbelievable
as they lack credibility with readers.
- Use positive, motivating words ... imagine, inspire, prestige,
cheer, energise, seduce, supreme, princess, king, wise, supreme.
- Use contradictions ... "A Few Encouraging
Words for the Totally Incompetent" (Nei French for Beck's)
