Copywriters: Why Do These Ads Work?
1). The U.S. Marine Corps supposedly ran this ad:
We'd promise you sleep deprivation, mental torment, and muscles so sore you will puke... But we don't like to sugarcoat things
2). Allegedly, Ernest Shackleton (1874-1922), the invincible Antarctic explorer whose fame came from his expeditions -- none of them successful -- to reach the South Pole ran this ad:
MEN WANTED FOR HAZARDOUS JOURNEY. SMALL WAGES,
BITTER COLD, LONG MONTHS OF COMPLETE DARKNESS,
CONSTANT DANGER, SAFE RETURN DOUBTFUL. HONOR AND
RECOGNITION IN CASE OF SUCCESS.
These are anti-benefit headlines. They promise pain, difficulty, and hardship. But they are magnetic (to me at least). Do they work because they challenge people and target a specific group of people who *think* they are elite or somehow tougher than most?
If so, then why don't copywriters use similar headlines and ads more often? (Kinda remind me of Maxty's "To All the Poor People" threads here on the WarriorForum)
