Children you must have seen the advertisement that appear under classified
columns in boxes in the newspaper or various magazines. Classified
advertisements cover usually vacancies, matrimonial, situation wanted,
educational, lost and found etc. type of notices.

I am sure you must have especially the commercial advertisements.
These commercial advertisements are inserted by business houses to promote
the sale of their products. They are put in boxes merely to attract the attention of
all irrespective of their ability to buy the products advertised in them. Thus, by an
artistic effect even an average product may be shown of a very high quality. So
much depends on how an article is advertised visually, artistically and, of course,
glamorously.

1. The act of advertising.
2. A notice, such as a poster or a paid announcement in the print, broadcast,
or electronic media, designed to attract public attention or patronage.
Advertising is a form of communication used to help sell products and services.
Typically it communicates a message including the name of the product or
service and how that product or service could potentially benefit the consumer.
However, advertising does typically attempt to persuade potential customers to
purchase or to consume more of a particular brand of product or service.

Tips for Effective Advertising
Advertising is an indispensable part of any business. Every company spends a
lot of money on advertising so that people buy their product or service. But the
amount of money spent alone cannot make advertising effective. They should be
drafted in such a manner that they catch the attention of the reader to go through
them even if the reader has no desire to buy the product.

The following points would make advertising effective.
1. Advertisements should be simple enough to be understood by the masses.

6. Advertisements should be creative to gain the attention of the public. A short
and creative Advertisement would be more effective than a long Advertisement in
which creativity is not applied.

These days no one has the time or patience to go through lengthy write-ups. The
advertisement should, therefore, be brief.

What are the main ingredients of a GOOD Advertisement?
VO WITH TEXT ON SCREEN
Following are the ingredients of any good classified ad -
- Attention
- Interest
- Desire
- Action
Attention applies to your headline. You want to generate attention and get
readers to read the rest of your ad. You need to write a good headline. Your
headline should be short, to the point, and demand attention.
Here are some examples:
-5-

6. PES/ENG/X/116
Connecting people Nokia
Jeetey Raho! We cover you. At every step in life- ICICI Prudential Life Insurance
Eat healthy Think better-Britannia
The shorter your ad, the shorter your headline needs to be. Make every word
count.
If you have the attention of your reader, the next step is interest. Focus on the
main benefit of your product or service.

ikA ;/tktkA T[go fXnkB fdU .
If you are writing a short ad, then you can only focus on one benefit.
i/ s[;hA S'Nk ftfrnkgB d/ oj/ j' skA s[;hA{ f;oc bkG s/ fXnkB d/ ;ed/ j' .
Remember, a benefit is different from a feature. A feature tells you what
something will do. A benefit tells the person how it will help him/her.

For example:
If you are selling a product to end baldness, a feature might be that it's easy to
use. A benefit would be that the person would have crop of hair that makes him
look 20 years younger.
Here's the beginning of an example ad:
Headline: End Male Pattern Baldness Forever?
Interest: Unique formula ends male pattern baldness forever.
Next, you want to create a desire for your product.
Example: In just 15 minutes a day, you can be on your way to a full head of hair.
Finally, you want the reader to take action. Send for free details, write for free
details, click through, etc.
Example: Get your free subscription to the "Male Pattern Baldness Newsletter"
