-
Half price – buy something, get 1/2 price or 50% off 2nd item 1/2 price or 50% off)
-
Dollars off – convert % off to dollars (example: Instead of 20% Off, use $10.00 Off a $50.00 purchase)
Effective ad design
The ad should build value for its use and create a reason to buy TODAY! Keep the ad simple by using short and direct, easy-to understand language. Make important points easy to read and lend a definitive tone.
Repetition and consistency
Having a strong offer and a great ad design will help bring new customers, however a one-time approach will only provide minimum results. The success of a marketing campaign relies on repetition and consistency. The more your ad is in front of your
audience, the greater your chances of getting a response, keep in mind that a buyer is not always ready to buy when you are ready to sell.
