Hey Copywriter Warriors,
I was wondering if any of you would be willing to share your personal favorite headline of all time? I just think it'd be a fun exercise! Cheers, Brad |

Frank Kern's Pipeline Profits System had a "Fast Mover Bonus" that came with this headline:
How To Make People Give You Money And Stuff. It was followed by this: Pay Attention Because This Sort Of Works Sometimes Those just crack me up. |

If You Want Closure In Your Relationship - Start With Your Legs That was a book title by a rather famous womanizer, released a couple of years ago which I thought was very good, certainly a good attention grabber - all about relationships etc, if I recall correctly. |

I still remember this UK Political Ad headline/slogan 30 years later:
"Labour Isn't Working" The Poster that Won the Election -- Social Design Notes Both the words and the picture combined to make a very powerful and emotive statement for 'change' (UK style!) The ad itself nearly got dropped but for the Labour Party kicking up a fuss in parliament. But they missed one very important fact - the ad photo was a fake... ...the fascinating story is on a BBC web page from 2001: BBC News | UK | 'Epoch-making' poster was clever fake |

Okay, this will sound lame compared to the previous but as a pure marketing headline you can't beat the classic: "They laughed when I sat down at the piano, but when I started to play..."
This is deceptively powerful. |

Even today. Guitar World, October 2009:
They laughed when I said they could have Perfect Pitch ...until I showed them the simple secret - and they heard it for themselves! This one's been running more or less unchanged as long as I can remember. They did change the photo of the creator; from a weird semi-angelic thing with a tuning fork, to a scruffier unshaven fedora-wearing picture. I find it to be rather an improvement. |

Hello Everyone.
My first post here, need to jump in sometime. “Do You Close the Bathroom Door Even When You’re the Only One Home?” Psychology Today headline by Bill Jayme - A little weird, but a great combination using intrigue and curiosity. It was a long running control for many years I believe. JC |

Some of the fun headlines are actually really funny!
Frank Kern's headline got me curious. Where can I find that sales page? That headline was funny yet commanded a certain level of attention. Nice! Regards, Shaun |

"Doctors Remove Baby's 2nd Head"
This was the subject in an email I did. Saw this at CNN - actually happened -the 2nd head was not alive or anything. I was afraid I'd gross everyone out. But I tied it in to a sales story about a little devil on one shoulder telling you to go ahead, and the little angel on the other shoulder telling you you had better wait- the idea was to get them to make a decision on an offer. Got only a couple complaints, but it was sucessful. |

"When is a diet pill worth $150 a bottle?"
I posted this somewhere else today, don't remember where, but the first time I heard it I thought it was the most brilliant headline I'd heard in a long time. Imagine making the extremely high price of your product the reason people should buy it. |

A few of my random faves...
- "We Don't Care that The Other Guy Does it For Free... And You Shouldn't, Either" (paraphrasing because I can't find the source...) - "The Kind Mom Used to Use!" (ice bag drop-in ad, next to the photo) - The Fast, Easy Way to Mend & Hem & Wear it Again! (has a nice rhythm to it... some liquid sewing product promoted by Billy Mays...) - "Wind Defying Umbrella" - simple, to the point, and definitely piques curiosity. Just a few

As far back as I can remember in my childhood, my
mother read that every single week. Naturally, being a curious lad, I couldn't resist the headlines and stories. I'm not sure that's good reading for a 10 yr old. Things can get confusing, you know. Wondering what to believe. lol. Now, I wish I saved every one of them. I don't know why. Things about martian boys. Some guy from Europe marrying a mermaid. lol. Stuff like that. |
