  4. Developing Print Advertisements • Print ads are very important to most campaigns. • They usually contain four key elements • Headline • Copy • Illustrations • Signature • Some also include the company’s slogan • Each element enhances the overall theme of a product promotion

  5. Headline • The headline is the saying that gets the readers’ attention, arouses their interest by providing a benefit, and leads them to read the rest of the ad. • More than 80% of the people who look at a print ad just read the headlines. • A headline provides a benefit to the reader

  6. Writing Effective Headlines • Most are brief – many people cannot take in more than seven words at a time. • Effective headlines stress benefits by making a promise, asking a question, posing a challenge, or using a testimonial. • Many headlines use familiar sayings with a twist.

  7. Developing Headlines or Slogans for Ad Campaigns • Alliteration (repeating initial consonant sounds) – Welcome to the World Wide Wow” (AOL) • Paradox (a seeming contradiction that could be true) – “The taste you love to hate” (Listerine mouthwash). • Rhyme – “Give a hoot, don’t pollute” (United States Forest Service). • Pun ( a humorous use of a word that suggests two or more of its meanings or the meaning of another work similar in sound – “Time to Re-Tire” (Fisk Tires). • Play on Words – “Let your fingers do the walking” (Yellow Pages).

  8. Copy • The copy is the selling message in a written advertisement. • It expands on the information in the headline or the product shown in the illustration. • It should be simple and direct • It should appeal to the senses • Tell the who, what, when, why, where, and how of your product • Key words used in copy, such as compare, introducing, now, price, save, easy, and new, establish immediate contact with the reader. • It should provide a call to action to shoppers

  9. Illustration • The photograph or drawing used in a print advertisement. • Its primary function is to attract attention • It should transmit a total message that would be hard to communicate just with words. • Illustrations may show the product, how the product works, and its features.
