Attention Copywriters- What is your favorite headline of all time?

Brad Spencer · 07-28-2009, 10:32 AM

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

CDarklock · 07-28-2009, 10:51 AM

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.

Those are good ones. I love Kern. I'm a huge fan.

His videos are so entertaining and he really knows how to speak. He talks about it in Core Influence as part of his Mass Control stuff.

Pretty sweet.

Cheers,

Brad

lakshaybehl · 07-28-2009, 01:42 PM

Can you imagine the Money flowing from that towel of yours being unstoppable?

That was the headline that got me buying my first IM product back in 2005.

This might freak you out, but here's one I wrote for the pet food industry:

What Do Dirty Chicken Feet, Syrupy Sugar and Contaminated Restaurant Grease Have to Do with Your Pet?

They're All Hidden Ingredients in the Food They Eat - Every Day!

I really like that a lot. And I always assume that headlines that I really like a lot will actually be useless.

I love headlines like that. The curiosity/ironic titles.

There's a new book on the rise of Facebook that talks about sex, lies, and money with FACEBOOK

Needless to say I spent a bit of time reading it b/c of that title.

Cheers,

Mark McClure · 07-29-2009, 08:41 AM

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.

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.

Ya, I love that "They laughed..." headline.

It can be used for so many different products or services. I seen it a while go with a company that was selling carpet.

John Caples hit a home run with that one.

Best,

Bill

Shaun Lee · 08-11-2009, 10:37 AM

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!

lenlatimer · 08-11-2009, 07:39 PM

"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.

It's not a sales page - it's from a series of PowerPoint slides he used at a 2006 seminar in Melbourne.

I'm actually subscribed to his mailing list, and he is one of the guys that I look forward to receive mail from.

Last I watched his videos, I was stuck on the screen! He looks like Billy Ray Cyrus! He's way of talking was great too. He sounds perfect relaxed when presenting the videos.

Frank FTW!

This is a fantastic book by David Garfunkle, probably my best buy from Amazon.

Kevin-VirtualProfitCenter · 08-24-2009, 05:42 PM

"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.

DougBarger · 09-15-2009, 05:28 PM

Ad for Gold's Gym membership:

"They Laughed When I Sat Down at the Piano...But When I Picked it Up!"

Edit: Can't remember where I heard that one so can't take the credit for it, but thought it was funny too. :-)

Cherilyn Woodhouse · 09-16-2009, 12:42 AM

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

Now, I wish I saved every one of them. I don't know why.

Things about martian boys. Some guy from Europe marrying a

"Girls just wanna have Funds"

I thought that was pretty classic. Some great headlines in here

Joe Karbo sold 2.7 mill. books "the lazy man's way to riches" at 10.00 each over 20 years ago with that headline.

Here's a Halbert headline I like ...

Life to Helping Others Get Skinny!

It tells the story of a person who went from a tragic circumstance to one of triumph and purpose in life.

Arouses strong curiosity plus implies a benefit.

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

Here's a Halbert headline I like ... High School Student Loses Almost 600 Pounds and Now Devotes His Life to Helping Others Get Skinny! It tells the story of a person who went from a tragic circumstance to one of triumph and purpose in life. Arouses strong curiosity plus implies a benefit. Alex
