Advertising to Promote a Service Business
Do you own or run a service business? Are you looking to get more bang for your advertising buck? Have you tried Yellow Pages only to find the cost is outrageous and the competition is fierce and then field half the calls coming in knowing they are merely competitors shopping you? Are you sick and tired of direct mail, newspaper and the local radio stations, which put your business in the middle of the deck, bottom of the page or play the commercials at 3 AM in the morning? Have you simply had enough and know it is time to get tough?If all of these are concerns to you then perhaps you need to audit all of your current advertising and look to see if you are indeed delivering a simple message to the consumer. Is your advertising compelling to get the customer to call you? Is the frequency of your advertising correct and are you consistent in your message in all your advertising?If you are promoting a service business it is important not to brag about yourself. The customer cares very little about how great you are, but rather cares what will your service give them. If you have a grea

“The purpose of a headline is to pick out people you can interest…For the entire return from an ad depends on attracting the right sort of readers…The best of salesmanship has no chance whatever unless we get a hearing.” - From the timeless classic, Scientific Advertising, by legendary adman Claude Hopkins

Make no mistake about it, as a copywriter or marketing professional your ability to write or identify compelling, attention-grabbing headlines that get prospects to read your ads…is one of the most valuable skills you can possess. Because the simple truth of the matter is this: You have absolutely zero chance of closing the sale unless you “get a hearing” with the prospect. So a good headline, an effective headline, should capture and hold the prospect’s attention and give you an opportunity to make your case.

How You Can Learn To Write More Effective Headlines Whatever profession you’re in, no matter how good you are, you can become better at it by studying the methods, techniques and mechanics of people who are the best at what they do in your line of work. And this is especially true if your line of work includes writing effective ad copy. There are books and magazine articles aplenty that have word-for-word, picture-for-picture reproductions of highly successful (i.e. profitable) ads and sales letters. In virtually every case there is also expert commentary about what it was that made the ad or sales letter so effective.

How To Upgrade Your Success
This is a very unsexy topic, unlikely to raise your pulse, but I think these concepts, once understood will make a major difference to understanding exactly how you can upgrade your success in anything.While you may find this article somewhat abstract, you will also find many useful applications for it, once you grasp the universal applicability of these two concepts.The two concepts are processes and resources.A process is anything that has a starting point, a sequence of events, and an end point.A business process, for example, is manufacturing a product, presenting it to the consumer, and selling it.There are innumerable processes. They are biological, psychological, social, economic, and so on.Everything that undergoes a transmutation, going from a lower state to a higher state does so through a process.Life itself can be considered a process, where one is constantly becoming wiser, more able, and more powerful.Success, then, can be defined as efficiency of processing.The better a processor, the more useful the end product.A

Price Does Not Always Equal Value
What is the right price for your product or service? Most small business owners struggle with this question, because they confuse the cost of producing the product with the value it brings to the customer.When it comes to establishing a price for your goods or services, the value of your product has absolutely nothing to do with production cost. The value is based on how much you help clients save, increase, reduce or improve. If you can quantify these benefits, then you have a foundation for establishing an appropriate price for your goods or services.Get to the Point!-It is All About Value -Calculate Your Value -Focus on the BenefitsIt is All About ValueThink about your last software purchase. You opened an attractive box which contained a CD and a small manual. There was less than $10 worth of material in the box, and yet you may have paid $300, $500 or even $1,000 for the software.You paid a premium, well above production cost, because of the need the software fulfilled and the benefits it would provide.Calculate Yo

Advantages of Buying a Franchise
One of the main advantages of buying a franchise is that you don’t have to spend a lot of effort introducing your product or service to the public. This alone can save you a lot of money in promoting your product to the public. People already know about the brand and as long as you have purchased a successful franchise, they will not care much about who the owner or operator of the franchise business. This is to say buying a franchise is almost like buying customers themselves.Another advantage of purchasing a franchise is that you save a lot of time and heartache learning this the hard ways as practices and procedures would have been in place for years. Trainings are usually provided to meet the standard and consistency across all franchise operators.You and your staff are trained right from the beginning in order to understand certain operating procedures from simple thing like making a sandwich until complex one such as preparing a yearly executive report. Keep it mind that your customers come into your business with expectation to receive the same quality of product or service they

1. “They Laughed When I Sat Down At the Piano…But When I Started to Play!” The granddaddy of great advertising headlines; often imitated but rarely equaled. Is there anyone among us who has never longed for or relished an opportunity –- when people doubt our ability –- to prove them wrong? As the author of this ad, the late John Caples, once said: “Learning the piano is tough. You can’t sell that. But you can sell the idea of social success and overcoming whatever deficiencies you have in order to become popular.” Plus, people love to root for the underdog as the main character of this ad so obviously is. An action-oriented headline that promises an uplifting story, we’re compelled to read further. Note also that the before-and-after angle can be effective in many headlines. 2. “A Little Mistake That Cost A Farmer $3,000 A Year” A highly successful ad that ran in a number of farm magazines. An excellent idea of how sometimes the negative idea of offsetting, reducing or eliminating the “risk of loss” is even more attractive to the reader than the “prospect of gain.”

Barry Freed, a fellow copywriter and good friend likes to illustrate this point with the following analogy: Imagine it’s 3 o’clock in the morning and your best friend comes banging on your front door.

“Bill, Bill, wake up! I know how we can both make an extra $500 apiece today –- guaranteed!” Chances are, this would be a severe test of your friendship. On the other hand, let’s say that same friend came banging on your door at 3 o’clock in the morning except this time he’s
