Tips for Creating an Ad with Impact

We’re back and ready to continue our discussion on the “Less is More” approach to advertising. If you missed Part 1, check it out here, or you can watch the entire recording of the webinar in the video at the bottom of this post.

When we left off with Part 1, we shared three specific things an ad needs to do in order to resonate with an audience. To recap, an ad should: capture your audience’s attention; connect with them through clear messaging and images that tell the story or solve the problem; and create a reasonable call to action. Now, let’s take these three things we need an ad to do and look at a real world example.

Billboards are a great example because the experience of seeing a billboard ad is something we have all seen and we all take it in the same – driving down the road. You can/should use the standards you see in billboard ads for any type of ad placement because this is part of advertising “best practices.” When you’re traveling down the highway at 65 miles per hour, you can’t do much other than remember the ad, so a billboard needs to leave a quick, clear, and impactful question. You can use the following tips and tricks to create an impactful ad with the less is more approach.
