Add More Pizzazz To Your Ad For More Profits
I recently completed a Marketing Makeover for an Ad that wasn't generating results for the owner of a Piano Tuning Business. Here is the original ad: ======================================== A well tuned and adjusted piano is a beautiful instrument. For a better tuning please call: Although the heading was centered and bold, it wasn't an effective headline because it didn't catch the attention of the target market. Regardless of how small your Ad is, it still must answer "What's In It For Me?" for your target market. In order to answer that question you must know how your service can solve their problem. For our Piano Tuner, his target market is dealing with the following problems: 1. They have invested a lot of money into their piano and they want to keep it well maintained. 2. They use their piano for entertaining guests, and if it isn't properly tuned the resulting music will be embarrassing to them. 3. They want to get the most out of their investment, and feel that properly tuned pianos play better music. This also satisfies their need to have the best. 4. They want to increase the value of their investment. Since the goal of the Ad is to generate response from prospects currently in need of a Piano Tuner, the Marketing Makeover is focused on catching their attention and getting them to call. Here is the Ad Marketing Makeover: "My Friends All Laughed When I Sat Down At My Tune your embarrassing off keys into beautiful music Mention this Ad and receive our The headline in the new Ad will still be bold and centered, but it now answers "What's In It For Me?" for prospects suffering from the embarrassment of an off key piano. The new Ad now features an offer designed to generate greater response from prospects. The Perfect Melody Piano Package will consist of marketing materials designed to position our Piano Tuner as an expert, and the only solution to the problems faced by his target market. The Piano Analysis is the most important component of the package because it will get him in front of his prospects who have raised their hands and indicated a need for his services. To convert more leads into sales, he can offer a special limited time introductory offer to prospects after completing the Piano Analysis. Now that the Ad has a compelling headline and offer, it needs to be placed in publications read by piano owners. If placed in several publications at the same time, the results can be tracked by placing a special code at the bottom of the Ad for each publication. Then the Ad can be removed from publications that are not producing results, and ran more frequently in publications that are producing results. Once you have a winning Ad, get more mileage from it by using the marketing message in Flyers and Postcards, and other marketing materials. When your Ad is on a winning streak it will not only pay for itself many times over, but it will also produce more profits so you can grow your business.
