  1. Parts of a Print Advertisement

  2. Print Ad Format Five components of an ad • Headline • Illustration • Body Copy • Tagline • Company Details

  3. Headline • A strong statement which includes the major selling point • Must grab the reader’s attention • Must be short (no more than 7 words) • Example: EAT MOR CHIKIN

  4. Illustration • Reinforces the headline • Shows how your product works or what it looks like • Must grab the reader’s attention • Example: Chick-Fil-A Cows

  5. Body Copy • Text that persuades the reader to buy your product • Must be interesting • Must tell the reader something that he/she wants to know.

  6. Tagline • Summarizes your product or the philosophy of your company • It should encourage the reader to act, i.e. to go and find out more and buy the product. “Get Into Entrepreneurship” Memory Reed Harris Co. High School 2007

  7. Company Details This information is dependent on the brand • Name • Address • Telephone numbers • Web Site • E-mail address • Logo

  8. AIDA An ad will only have a few seconds to influence someone, so a good ad uses the following formula: • A - Attention (Awareness): attract the attention of the customer. • I - Interest: raise customer interest by demonstrating features, advantages, and benefits. • D - Desire: convince customers that they want and desire the product or service and that it will satisfy their needs. • A - Action: lead customers towards taking action and/or purchasing.

  9. Spoiling Ads • Clutter – If you fill the space full of words and pictures, people will be put off reading it. Small writing is difficult to read. • Jargon – Difficult words and long sentences put people off • Facts & Figures – No one wants to read a boring load of facts and figures. Use the minimum to get people interested.

  10. Activity • Design an ad for a company/product of your choice that includes the five components of print ads and the AIDA formula.
