The first thing you need to do is answer the following question: What is your objective for the ad? You need to know what result you expect the ad to accomplish in order to determine what needs to go into the ad. Once you determine your objective (e.g. I want them to visit my store; I want them to call me for more information; I want them to take advantage of my promotion) you can decide what needs to be in the ad to successfully convince them to take this action. The problem I see with most ads is they lack focus. There is too much information and too much going on in the ad for the reader to be able to clearly understand the primary message the advertiser is trying to impart. Your goal should be to impart one SINGLE message. And that message should support your objective. Keep your ad simple and to the point. You can be creative, but make sure the reader clearly understands what you are selling, what you want them to do, and several ways they can take action (e.g. call, visit your store, visit your web site, email).

An Example of Understanding Consumer Thinking By Darrin Coe A church in my community provided me with one of the best examples of understanding the consumer, which I’ve ever experienced.Once a month a church in my community provides free lunch, open to the public. When you go into the dining area you are initially met by a man who is loud, amiable, and obviously enjoying his position. He greets you with a handshake, making sure you know that, “Everything is on the house”. He then orders your meal for… 4. There’s More to Marketing ROI (return on investment) Than Meets the Eye By Joy Gendusa All too often people look at marketing ROI in terms of response rate: in other words, “I sent out 10,000 pieces of direct mail and only got 39 responses which is terrible.” This is wrong think.When it comes to marketing ROI, you have to realize that the term means Return On Investment and the return is measured in dollars (or your local currency).
