Here are a few tips to consider when working on the creative and messaging for your next advertisement.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-3103\" src=\"http:\/\/www.primeadvertising.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/creating-great-ads_primeblog-300x232.jpg\" alt=\"creating great ads_primeblog\" width=\"270\" height=\"209\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Have your target audience in mind. <\/strong>The most successful ads connect with an audience in a \u2018voice\u2019 they can understand. Customers should automatically understand that your offer directly relates to them.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Have a focal point. <\/strong>When looking at your ad, is your eye drawn somewhere or do you search for what you are supposed to read. Clean, clear design will help your ad stand out.<\/p>\n<p><b>Have a clear message<\/b>. Try to communicate to your audience a clear idea of what it is that you offer in a single sentence. If the reader only reads one thing on the page, make sure it is your headline. Short phrases are easier to digest than complicated ones.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Avoid clutter.\u00a0 <\/strong>Oftentimes less is more. Every square millimeter of space does not need to be filled with content. White space is a good thing!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Use a call to action.\u00a0 <\/strong>It\u2019s good practice in an ad to inform an audience on what to do next. Simple and successful phrases asking to call for more information, visit a website, register now, etc. can help drive traffic to site or store.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Present a benefit. <\/strong>You will be a leg up on the competition if you can quantify to your audience how they will benefit from your product or service.<\/p>\n<p><b>Make it easy to connect.\u00a0 <\/b>Including websites, phone numbers and social media accounts assure that when they are ready, customers can find you.<\/p>\n<p>Incorporate these tips into your next creative meeting and you will be on your way to maximizing your ad performance. Good luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s always interesting when ad materials come across my desk, or arrive in my inbox.
