Is Your Advertising... Memorable?

8 replies
What ad campaigns do you remember?

What sales letters or VSL's immediately pop into your noggin?

Here are a couple of mine:

"Where the beef." Remember that?


Okay, that's not direct response.

So here's an example of a sales letter that's memorable... and performs really well.

PanaSeeda

"I wouldn't be alive." Pretty simple headline, right?

Wrong.

That's the kind of headline that immediately stays with you... like an STD... but in a good way.

Meaning, when you close out that letter, the headline, story and product stay with you.

Which leads me to a key point...

If your prospects can't remember anything about your advertising 15 seconds after leaving your site, it's obvious something's gotta change... and fast.

So ask yourself...

"Is my campaign - from my Facebook ad to my first OTO, memorable?"

Do you think prospects remember your headline or hook - when they x-out?

Be honest. Because if the answer's no, this is an opportunity to take a fresh look at your marketing.

The next question to ask yourself is...

"So what's a memorable way I can start a conversation with my prospects?"

Do you want to use shock & awe?

What about leveraging the media?

Is your story memorable? What's a headline you can use to instantly draw people in?

This is great exercise to get specific in your advertising... in your hook... in your positioning.

Asking yourself, "What will make my advertising, memorable?" opens your mind up to possibilities you'd have never considered... which is huge.

This goes WAY beyond trying to figure out a generic, "Who else wants" kind of headline.

Don't just think outside the box; explode the frickin' box!

    LOVED "Where's the Beef"... that commercial never seemed to get old.

    You've brought out some outstanding points on creating your advertising campaigns. With all the companies vying for your attention online, you definitely need to think outside the box. That's a great challenge you've presented! Thanks for the reminder to rise above the average and go above and beyond!

    People usually fall over when they see my prices . . . so I advertise horizontally.

    "Where's the Beef" was classic. Making your advertising memorable is always one of the main goals. You want people to remember and think of your product or service.

    Not really sure how "memorable" my ads are and the offers I promote, but one thing I know is they convert and feed my family and more.

      Of course.

      With the right story... or hook... or context...

      The brand IS remembered.

      That's the point.

      You want the product, the service... the solution... the brand to get stuck inside your prospect's mind.

      Memorable advertising does that.

      It's funny...

      I'm helping out a friend who just took over a local music venue.

      His team is reaching out to bigger performers, locally and abroad, to bring even more culture to this already happening town.

      He wanted to bring a historical context into the advertising.

      I looked at the script they wrote... and it was bad. Zero emotional connection. Nothing memorable.

      The visuals just fell flat. Yet... this is an historical building in Ashland.

      So we talked about the archetype (avatar) they're targeting... and figured out the visuals that will trigger them.

      I showed him "the farmer" commercial from a recent SuperBowl.


      Now...

      I'm not the archetype Ram was targeting... and yet... I felt the emotion. Imagine how memorable this commercial was for the people they were targeting.

      Sure, I don't have the data for whether or not this moved the needle in their sales. But I promise you people remembered.

      Again...

      This isn't direct response.

      But it's a hook and a concept that could applied to a VSL.

      So...

      I'll repeat myself:

      "What will make my advertising, memorable?"

    Hi Mark

    I would say the most memorable ads campaign for me was one I did back in January of this year with BingAds.

    I found a few hotspot keywords that actually allowed me to not only generate 12 quality leads within 1 day, but I was able to make $115 total from just that one PPC campaign for my primary business offer. 2 of those leads converted, which I got for 5 cents each.

    This, by far, is my most memorable advertising method because my R.O.I was astounding!
