(as cited in https://geomares-marketing.com/en/blog/how-to-create-effective-print-ads) Creating effective print advertisements is not easy. Good collaboration between Marketing and Design is very important, of course, but which issues should you, as a marketing professional, focus on to ensure your advertisements are as effective as possible? 1. White space is your best friend The more cluttered the advertisement is, the less likely it is to be read. Stick to the point by focusing on one message, and use enough white space to keep the advertisement easy to read! 2. Highlight your USPs Try to avoid endless lists and long paragraphs presenting benefits and applications. Focus on the most important Unique Selling Points (USPs) and use them to illustrate your point. 3. A picture says more than a thousand words Good visual support is essential for your advertisement. Make sure your chosen image is unique and surprising, and visually reinforces your message. Remember to take a look at competitors’ ads; do not use the same images!  DON HONORIO VENTURA STATE UNIVERSITY Cabambangan, Villa de Bacolor 2001, Pampanga, Philippines COLLEGE OF BUSINESS STUDIES ISO 9001: 2015 Sto.

Make people curious Don’t give everything away immediately. Make sure your ad is stimulating and arouses your audience’s curiosity. That way, your message will stick in their minds for longer. 5. Focus on your target group Make sure your ad is not about you, but instead helps your audience to understand how and why you can meet their needs. 6. Include a call to action Create a sense of urgency when potential customers see your ad. Use a clear call to action (CTA), such as a discount code that is valid for a limited time or a brochure available for free download from your website. 7. Reduce psychological barriers Think carefully about what would be a logical next step for someone who sees your ad. To maximise your chance of success, don’t ask for too much commitment. If you are introducing a brand-new product, for example, potential customers are likely to want to obtain more information first rather than buying it immediately, so focus on that objective instead of aiming for an instant purchase. 8. Make it easy Make sure that potential customers do not have to search for your contact details or a way to obtain more information. 9. Align with relevant content If possible, try to place your ad next to, or in the vicinity of, relevant content. This significantly increases your chances of being seen by an interested audience.  DON HONORIO VENTURA STATE UNIVERSITY Cabambangan, Villa de Bacolor 2001, Pampanga, Philippines COLLEGE OF BUSINESS STUDIES ISO 9001: 2015 Sto.
