Dramatic Advertising That Sells

Copyright 2005 Cutts Group, llc

Think about the last car purchase you made... Did you watch closely for advertisements that explained all of the features before you bought the car? Probably not. In fact, studies show that most of us notice the ads AFTER we have purchased our new car.

Let's face it... consumers are emotionally driven.

They make purchases for the feeling they get, and then look for the logical benefits to justify the purchase. That's why we notice all of those ads after the fact!

Wise marketers make good use of this insightful knowledge. Good advertisements get the benefits in front of the customers so vividly that they experience the benefits before they even buy the product. Once they see themselve enjoying it, they've just "gotta have it!"

1 Make It Picture Perfect
Forget about your product or service for a minute and focus on the consumer. What will he enjoy when he has dug out his money and taken home your product? Put yourself in his shoes, and then describe the experience in vividly dramatic detail.

What does it feel like to be a stay-at-home mom and still be able to make money? Describe the freedom, the confidence, the things she'll be able to afford.

Tell the story in bright words that compel the reader to enter and experience it for themselves.

You've caught them... hook line and sinker once they've experienced those feelings. Chances are they've dreamed about them, and now the know they can fulfill the dream through your product or service.

2. Throw In The Logic They'll Need to Justify Themselves Later.
You've probably met up with the "after the sale jitters." You make the purchase, enjoy it for a day or two and then it hits home... you've got a payment to make and start wondering if you've made the right choice.

Sure, your customers will second guess themselves after they make the purchase too...

that's why you need to supply the logic for the sale upfront - even though you know they buy for emotional satisfaction.

Let them know that it's a special, reduced price... if they buy it now. That'll make them feel better about not waiting.

Tell them about other customers who are "glad they did" to make them feel like they aren't alone. Others thought it was the thing to do too so it must have been.

Hey, the customer who enjoys the product, and can feel good about the purchase is one satisfied customer who'll do business with you again. Take care to set your advertising campaign up for success.

Tough, Powerful and Reliable Volvo Parts: To Match Volvo Car?s Excellent Performance

(ContentDesk) September 10, 2005 -- Among the most venerated and strongest-selling cars from Volvo is the Volvo 700 series. It was introduced in the 1980s initially as replacement for the Volvo 200 models. The earlier Volvo cars however, still generated high sales so the 700 series became another line of Volvo vehicles. Included in the series were the Volvo 740, Volvo 760 and Volvo 780. Each of these vehicles flaunted excellent driving abilities and boasted the most sophisticated safety features, making them the safest vehicles in the market.

As Volvo's first foray in the luxury segment, this series also featured luxurious exterior and interior Volvo Parts. Unlike most cars produced in the 80s, the 700 series had a low profile, sleek and slightly rounded edges, which suggested its highly advanced performance auto parts and exterior features. When it comes to ride quality and handling, the Volvo 700 series cars exhibited driving abilities that are as remarkable as their looks....

The Real Video Format

One of the big problems on the internet is the fact that by far the vast majority of people use slow dial-up connections. In spite of all of the hoopla about DSL and Cable, perhaps 90% to 95% of all of the people in the United States is still on dial-up. In addition, most of the rest of the planet has not been wired for high speed access and probably will not be for some time.This introduces a real problem to companies that want to sell or distribute multimedia on the web. How do you do that without requiring downloads that are hours (and even days) long? Many users will wait an hour or two for their favorite Britney Spears video once in a while, but they may not be as willing (or as able) to wait for a movie trailer or sound clip. And very, very few people will wait for an advertisement, no matter that the video is wonderful.Many video standards were created in an effort to overcome this basic problem.

Two different philosophies arose: streaming and non-streaming. In streaming...

(ContentDesk) November 4, 2004 -- "What's the worst thing you've ever done? That one thing you can't tell your friends, your spouse, your parents, even yourself? Maybe no one knows, but you still did it! You're nothing but a no good, low down Scalawag." ?Dennis the piano player, rationalizing his reprehensible deeds.Following the premise of Lafler's earlier title "Bughouse", the action is set in an indigo toned, "insect noir" Manhattan of the nineteen fifties; the characters are bug headed hipster bop musicians.Our view into this world is focused on Bughouse, a jazz band comprised of Jimmy Watts, tenor sax, Slim Watkins on piano (then Dennis on piano after Slim dies), Ralph Rojas, drums, and Bones the bass player. Jimmy's wife, Julie, manages the band, while Ralph's main squeeze Liz Fuller provides exuberant fan support.Dennis, the new piano man in Bughouse, is by all accounts a very funky player and a genial chap. But before long, the real Dennis inevitably reveals himself as a gambling,...
