Write Good Advertising Content

To write successful advertisement content is to catch the attention of the customer at first
sight as they flicker though the brochures and fliers like they are quick to flip through a
magazine and not how they will read books with concentration. It need not be necessary
that the customer reads each and every line of the advertisement; hence, each line should
be effective and should pass out a message. So it is wise to write both logical and creative
advertising scripts.

Primarily, only relevant and specific matter should be written in the ad. Some content writers
fear missing out information and write as much as they can. This will only disinterest the
customers more and space will be wasted. The writing style should be related to the type
of flier or brochure that is to be written. Its usual for the reader to read skipping lines in
between and there is a possibility that they will read it from bottom to top.

It always helps to use words that sell. But still, the content should be properly organized with
the heading at the top, body in the middle and conclusion at the end. The main points can be
written as sub-headings, in bold font. The body following the sub-heading should discuss the
sub-heading and if it is related to any other sub-heading, even those points should be discussed.
If the product is to be discussed from the technical point, it should not be so technical that it
sounds like a foreign language to a common man.

Chucking is another technique that can be used. Chucking is about writing small stories with
conclusion at the end. They can either have or not have connection between themselves. It is
better if they are not connected, because it would not require the reader to go back to a previous
chunk in order to understand the present chunk he is reading. This works quite well when there
are pictures in the advertisement and the chunk illustrates the picture. The two-dimensional
picture is speechless unless some well-chosen words talks about it and motivates he customers.
Obviously, while chucking, sub-headings can be used to let out critical information. Another
point to be considered is the product or company about which the content is based on. Suppose
if the brochure is related to a corporate, the style of writing should be formal.

Spelling mistakes should be avoided to the maximum extent. They reflect poor quality and bring
bad reputation to the client. The design should speak clearly and loudly about the organization
being discussed. Unclear, cluttered and illogical information creates an illusion that the company
also has the same characteristics. Catalogs are the only source of advertisement for some
businesses, because of low investments. Such kind of business catalogs will not require much
writing, just product description will do. Instead one can work on the font sizes, colors, etc.

The next step should be writing information about contacts so as to buy the product; detailed
forms are big turn-off. Contact information, postal address and website URL should be clearly
specified. Also include whether the business accepts cash, check or credit card.

Another thing to be taken care of is the contact information, which is usually written on the
forms, which have to be mailed. It is better to write them on the advertisement also so that
the customers can save it for future reference. After the final content is written, it�s the time
for organizing it. Depending on the demand of the products, arrange them in hierarchy,
especially when designing a catalog because each of the products should get the
consideration and attention they deserve.

It is a good habit to write down procedures, which have been applied to every kind of
advertisements written. And also save the information like what customers were targeted
with what kind of advertisements, to use to the same kind of logic the next time to similar
customers. This helps to create a blueprint for a future job.
