Page 12: Building Advertising Program-message Auto Saved]

Headline

The headline contains the words in the leading position in the advertisement.

These are the words that will be read first or are positioned with the intent to draw the reader’s most attention.

The headlines are almost invariably set in larger, dark type and generally set apart from body copy to make them prominent.

Page 13: Building Advertising Program-message Auto Saved]

The fundamental function of the headline is to attract the reader’s attention, get them interested, and lead them in the entire ad message.

One popular technique to capture the attention is to occupy the entire top half of the ad with a headline written in large letters.

Page 14: Building Advertising Program-message Auto Saved]

Factors to be considered in evaluating an effective headline.

The headline should use short, simple words, usually not exceeding 10.

The headline should include an invitation to the prospect, primary product or service benefits, name of the brand, and an interest provoking idea to induce readership of rest of the advertisement.

The words in the headline should be selective, appealing only to prime prospects.

The headline should include an action verb. The headline should furnish enough information so that the

consumer who reads only the headline learns something about the product / service and its benefits

Page 15: Building Advertising Program-message Auto Saved]

Types of Headlines

Direct Headlines:-are straight forward and informative in terms of the message they are presenting and the target audience they are directed toward. Common types of direct headlines include those offering a specific benefit, making a promise, or announcing a reason the reader should be interested in the product/service.

Page 16: Building Advertising Program-message Auto Saved]

Indirect headlines :- are not straightforward about identifying the product or service or getting to the point. But they are often more effective at attracting reader’s attention and interest because they provoke curiosity and lure readers into the body copy to learn an answer or get an explanation. Techniques for writing indirect headlines include using questions,provocations,how-to statements, and challenges.

News/information headline

Announces news or promises information– The head line of Maruthi Alto ad read

“Alto makes it debut outside of Japan for the first time-in India”

Curiosity-invoking and provocative headlines

To stimulate question and thoughts.– Samsung DVD headline read, "Don't Buy DVD”.– To learn more the reader must continue reading the

body copy

Subheads

A sub head is an additional smaller headline that may appear above or below the headline.

When the subhead is above the headline, it is referred as a kicker or overline.

Subheads are usually set smaller than the headline but larger than the body copy, and may appear in bold face or italic type.

Subheads are often used to enhance the readability by highlighting key sales points and support the interest step best.

Page 22: Building Advertising Program-message Auto Saved]

Body Copy

The main text portion included in the advertisement.

It contains the complete sales story and is the logical continuation of the headline and subheads.

The body copy must be long enough to accommodate the complete message and short enough to retain the reader’s interest.

Page 23: Building Advertising Program-message Auto Saved]

Types of body copy

Approach Types of Body copy Straight forward It is factual copy, usually written in the words of

an anonymous or unacknowledged source. Narrative This type of copy tells the story in first

person Dialogue The copy lets the reader “listen in “ on a

conversation. Explanation Copy explains how something works. Translation Presents technical information, such as that

written for high technology and medical industries, must be defined and translated

into understandable language.

Slogans and Taglines

A slogan is a very single word or a group of words regularly used by the advertiser to impress upon the readers a basic idea about the product.

It is a clever phrase that serves as a reminder of a brand, company image or theme.

It provides continuity to series of ads in a campaign and also helps creating a positioning statement.

Ex. Nike uses the slogan, "Just do it”

Philips slogan is “Let’s make things better”

Page 25: Building Advertising Program-message Auto Saved]

To be effective, a slogan should be short,simple,easily remembered, time proof and filled with a pleasing suggestion of the product. To be time proof, a slogan may be alliterative, rhythmic or fantastic.– “Don’t say ink;say Quink”.

The advertiser should remember that the commodity should not be forgotten.

Slogans may be short range or long range.

Taglines
