What makes an effective TV ad? |
Identify your target customer
Think about who might walk into your store or what kind of customer you want to attract. Be more specific than just gender and age range, and describe where they live, what they look like, and what they might do on the weekends.
Craft your key message
Determine the objective of your key message -- you may want to create brand awareness and affinity, develop an understanding of your product benefits, or convince your customer that the product fits their needs.
Support your key message
Select information and visuals that support the message you want to convey. Focus on a select set of your products or services, even if you offer many. Too many details dilute the message and can confuse your customer.
Decide on a call to action
Use a clear call to action that enables you to track the success of your ad, such as visiting a vanity url, calling a unique 800 number, or using a coupon code.
Put it all together
The most effective TV commercials create a compelling experience with both audio and visual elements. Does the visual element of the commercial tell enough of a convincing story if the TV is muted? Likewise, if a viewer is in another room and can only hear the audio of your commercial, will they understand your message?
