Full Service Advertising Agencies

May 28, 2008 · Posted in Business Advertise · Comment 

Full service advertising agencies have the ultimate intention of influencing the purchasing behavior of consumers, in a way favorable to the advertiser. How do they achieve this end? The first requirement is that the advertisement should capture the attention of its audience. To achieve this, the advertisement has to provide the audience with information that is of interest to them. It may give them new information, or it may support the information they already have, or it may attempt to alter their existing views or beliefs.

Some people like information that is communicated through stories, while others like figures and data. There may be another category who may listen to information that is couched in real experience situations, and there may be others who totally avoid unpleasant information or information that upsets their existing faiths. In any case, the advertising message should interest the audience.

So it is essential that an advertisement provide information that is of interest to the audience. Only then would the audience listen to it. It is also essential that the audiences see the advertisement and interpret it in a way favorable to the advertiser. The same advertising message under a given setting can be perceived and interpreted by different people in different ways. An agency has to ensure that his message is interpreted in the manner intended, in a way favorable to his products/offerings.

It is not enough if the audience listens to the advertisement and interprets it the way the advertiser expects it to be interpreted. It should also appeal to them and influence their attitudes, thought processes and purchasing behaviors in favor of the advertised brand. It is generally agreed that purchases are governed by the attitudes of consumers towards alternative product offers. The full service advertising agencies therefore should know that if attitudes of the target customers can be manipulated and changed, behavior changes on the lines preferred by the advertiser would naturally follow.

What Sells - Logic or Emotion

May 20, 2008 · Posted in Business Advertise · Comment 

Have you ever taken part in that debate? The one where someone tries to prove that some product in their home was purchased for purely logical reasons, with no emotion involved?

They never can win. Even a kleenex becomes emotional when you can’t find one. The same applies to choosing which brand to buy of all the choices available for most products. You choose the brand that makes you feel the best, even if it means choosing a specific brand of canned peas because once upon a time your Mother told you that to serve less meant feeding your family sub standard meals.

How does that apply to you as a marketer… or as an individual selling a used car or the snowsuit your child outgrew?

It means your first job is to show people how good they’ll feel when they buy what you offer. Never mind the features, go first for the feelings. The features come later, as logical proof that they’ve made the right choice.

You might start your snowsuit ad with a verbal picture of a child staying warm and dry. The used car might be a big gas guzzler… but focus on how good it will feel when everyone can stretch out their legs… and how convenient it will be to take everyone in the same car on your next outing. Or…it might be a sporty little job that makes you feel like a kid as you zip down the freeway.

If you offer a cleaning service, talk first about how your customers will be free to pursue work or hobbies and still come home to a fresh-smelling, sparkling clean house where they can relax and enjoy the evening. Then go in to how you use environmentally friendly cleaners, remember to clean every little corner, and don’t mind walking the dog while you’re there.

Whatever you offer, remember that emotions create the desire and logic backs it up. You need both, but if all you offer is logic, it will be a tough sale. It isn’t always easy. Sometimes you have to uncover hidden benefits that appeal to emotions people don’t necessarily want to talk about.

Those are emotions such as pride, as in: “I have a cleaner house than my best friend. (And that means I’m a better wife.)” “My car is much cooler than my brother’s. (And that means I’m going to get the girls.)” “My children are warmer… meaning I’m a better Mom or Dad. (And that means my own Mom is going to approve of me at last.)”

Dig deep, find those benefits before you start to write, and tap into the emotions that cause your customers to buy.

Happy writing!
