Basics of Creating A Successful Advertisement

Before we get into the “how to” of ad creation, let's define the differences between paid and unpaid media coverage. Paid media coverage is referred to as advertising and includes everything from TV commercials, to banner ads on the web, and grocery store print ads in your local newspaper. Unpaid media coverage is referred to as public relations (PR) or media relations and includes everything from the TV news covering a company's financial results to feature stories in newspapers and magazines.

This article will focus on how to create the content of an advertisement for a print publication such as the local newspaper or holistic journal. Generally, companies either create the ad themselves, if they have both a person and the tools to do the creation, or they hire someone in a design shop or ad agency to do create the ad for them. The first step in creating an ad with or without a design professional is the same: you need to define the objective you have for advertising -- ask yourself why do I want to do this and what do I hope to accomplish? Some sample objectives include:
-10 people call for information
-10 people go to the web site and register for the free newsletter

Refining Your Message

The next step is to evaluate your value proposition and message. Imagine your ad is an army of thousands of sales people all giving your presentation thousands of times in one minute. What would you have them say to convey the most information about your business, and the reasons why the customer should buy from you. What is it about your product/service that is different and/or better than the guy down the street? Write it down -- every word. Refine it and polish it and use it in conversation for a week. Keep track of how people react to it and how comfortable you feel with it over time.

Then put it aside and try another approach! Take a different look at what makes you special. Keep in mind the reader doesn't know you or your product. Now write this down, refine and polish it, and use it for a week. Keep track of reactions and feedback. Now compare the two approaches -- which one was more clear, to the point and required the least number of questions. Choose the approach that seemed to work best to start testing your ad.

Testing

To test and ad pick a smaller publication where ad expenses are less expensive so you can do small test runs to determine what works best for you. Better yet, try testing by using an email version of your ad. This will bring your testing costs down and also allow you to create the ad that will work best in a much shorter amount of time.

When you run an ad, keep track of how many responses you received and how many of those turned into sales. Then ask those new clients what in the ad appealed to them. Subsequent ads should then leverage the things that worked to hone your message to reel in new customers. When changing your ad be sure to change only one variable at a time or you won't know what effect the change has had.

Finally, go back to your initial objectives and compare the results with your initial goals.
