Looking for advertising technique examples? Which techniques are the most effective in generating revenue?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drew Whitman wrote his book Ca$hvertising<\/em> to explain why most advertisements fail and how to create ads that actually generate results. According to him, customers are only drawn to ads that address their core human needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep reading to discover ten examples of advertising techniques from Whitman’s book Ca$hvertising<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Whitman’s Advertising Techniques<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Are you pouring lots of money into your advertising budget but seeing no sales? Are consumers paying no attention to what you think are compelling, well-crafted ads? In his book Ca$hvertising<\/em>, advertising coach Drew Whitman claims this is a common gripe of business-owners but that he can help you turn your mediocre ads into money-making machines by letting you in on one big secret: Consumers are only drawn to ads that address their core human needs to survive and thrive. In this article, we’ll summarize ten of the most compelling advertising technique examples from Whitman’s Ca$hvertising<\/em> book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#1: Do a Competitor Comparison<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For our first example, we’ll look at Whitman’s competitor comparison advertising technique. He recommends using competitors\u2019 inferior products to strengthen the position of yours<\/strong>. When comparing your product to a competitor\u2019s, be specific about how yours is better: Specificity helps convince the reader you\u2019re right. You can draw a comparison in three steps: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Warn the consumer of the inferior products other brands are trying to sell them. For instance, you might say: \u201cMy competitor will try to get you to believe their cheap light bulbs are just as good as ours.\u201d<\/li>
  2. Offer an unconvincing argument in favor of your competitor\u2019s inferior products. This weak argument<\/a> encourages prospects to perceive the competitor\u2019s product as unacceptable. You might thus say: \u201cThose cheap light bulbs may be fine if you don\u2019t mind irrevocably damaging your eyes.\u201d<\/li>
  3. Advocate for your own position and product. This builds on the customer\u2019s existing distaste for the competitor\u2019s product. \u201cBut that\u2019s not how we do things at our company. We believe every room should be brightly lit\u2026\u201d<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    #2: Move Customers Through the Five Stages of a Buying Decision<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Whitman\u2019s next advertising technique example describes using your ads to move customers through the five stages of getting to know and developing loyalty for a product<\/strong>. Customers usually increase their engagement with a brand slowly over time, rather than deciding to buy immediately based on a single ad. This process of familiarization can be broken into five steps, and you can tailor your ads to shepherd prospects through these five steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Having no familiarity or understanding of the product<\/li>
    2. Considering buying the product<\/li>
    3. Wanting more information about your product before buying it <\/li>
    4. Buying the product<\/li>
    5. Becoming loyal to the product<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      For example, you can use this advertising technique either by building ads that target customers at all<\/em> stages of the familiarization process or by building a sequence of ads, each of which targets people at a different stage of the process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Other Ways to Envision the Five Steps of Familiarization<\/strong>

      It\u2019s commonly understood in marketing and advertising<\/a> that you must move a prospect from unfamiliarity with a product to the desire to buy it. Others have broken down those transitional steps differently from Whitman, however. For instance, in 1-Page Marketing<\/em><\/a>, <\/em>Allan Dib says a customer goes through only three steps: awareness, familiarity, and enthusiasm<\/a>. Creating advertising for only three stages could be more feasible than Whitman\u2019s recommendation to create ads that target five stages. 

      Dib further offers advice on how <\/em>to guide your customer through those steps, which might also be helpful in crafting effective advertising. For instance, to generate awareness of your product, Dib says you must first       identify your target market<\/a>, create a compelling message for that market<\/a>, and finally decide what the best advertising medium is<\/a>. 

      So for the first ad in your sequence, you\u2019d determine who\u2019s buying your product (perhaps cycling enthusiasts), what message will most resonate with them (how your gear increases their performance), and then decide where to present that message (maybe via an email campaign). <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      #3: Use Aspirational Marketing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      For this example, Whitman suggests using the aspirational advertising technique where you align your product with the current positive image your audience has of themselves or the aspirational image they\u2019d like to have of themselves<\/strong>. This is effective and easy because we have built-in perceptions of ourselves\u2014for instance as serious, sexy, or rugged. When you identify those images and associate your product with them, consumers will feel your product helps reinforce their desired self-image and will buy it, claims Whitman. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      For example, if you identify an audience that sees itself as effortlessly cool and unmaterialistic, you should advertise your leather wallets as minimalistic and unshowy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The most successful image-creating ads focus on commonly desired traits, like intelligence, attractiveness, wealth, and sexual appeal. These are traits that most people consider to be part of their self-image (or desired self-image). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Show How Your Customer Hasn\u2019t Yet Attained Their Aspirational Identity<\/strong>

      The commonly desired traits that Whitman mentions are likely based on the eight core human needs: the need to find a sexual partner, to live safely and comfortably, to be seen as equal to or better than your peers, and so on. This would be why any of those eight needs as part of an image will probably lead to a successful ad. 

      In Breakthrough Advertising<\/em><\/a>, <\/em>Eugene Schwartz adds an additional step that must take place before your customer will align your product with their self-image: showing the customer how they\u2019re not yet <\/em>aligned with that image<\/a>. 

      This is only possible when you\u2019re associating your product with the customer\u2019s aspirational identity\u2014the customer presumably is already secure in their current identity. Schwartz believes this step works because when customers feel there\u2019s a gap between what they are now and what they want to be, they\u2019re compelled to fill that gap. If you don\u2019t explicitly point this gap out to them, you risk not motivating them sufficiently to fill it by purchasing your product. <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      #4: Use Bandwagon Marketing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Show the audience how your product makes them a part of a group<\/strong>, writes Whitman. Humans have an innate drive to be a part of groups for survival, and if your ad shows them how your product or service includes them in a group they want to be a part of, they\u2019ll be more likely to buy. These groups can be demarcated by age, education, location, politics, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      #5: Use Fear-Based Marketing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      In this example, Whitman describes the advertising technique of provoking a fear in your audience that your product can eradicate<\/strong>. People are strongly motivated to avoid things they fear, and if your product can help them do that, they\u2019ll want to buy it. Fears include fear of loss, fear for your health, fear of damage to your ego<\/a> and self-esteem, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      #6: Use Credibility-Based Marketing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Another example of an effective advertising technique is to use outside sources like customer testimonials, celebrity endorsements, medical endorsements, and so on to confirm the effectiveness of your product<\/strong>, claims Whitman. The reason this works is that humans naturally try to do as little mental work as possible and prefer to rely on cues that signal <\/em>credibility\u2014like testimonials and logos of organizations\u2014than to do in-depth research to verify <\/em>credibility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      (Shortform note: In Influence<\/em><\/a>, <\/em>Robert Cialdini calls the phenomenon of believing in a product or idea because others do the Social Proof Principle<\/a><\/em>: We subconsciously feel that because others approve of and use a product, it must be good<\/a>. The Social Proof<\/a> Principle is a specific type of reliance on a cue\u2014widespread social approval\u2014that signals credibility and lets us avoid verifying that credibility ourselves.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      #7: Use Effective Marketing Copy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      When it comes to writing ad copy<\/a>, Whitman insists that you make your ad copy clear, comprehensible, and specific<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Your audience must understand what your product does and how it will improve their lives, otherwise your ad will have failed at the most basic level to inform your customer about your product. Use simple, concise language, and always use the casual expression of an idea rather than one that sounds more intellectual. For instance, say: \u201cThis smart watch will track your health,\u201d rather than: \u201cThis wearable tech device will record your physical fitness data.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      #8: Showcase the Most Important Benefits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Whitman’s next advertising technique example is to show the product\u2019s ultimate and most important benefit to the consumer<\/strong>. A product\u2019s benefits are the reason customers buy it, so clearly show these in your ad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Importantly, the benefit<\/em> of a product is different from its functions<\/em>. Functions are the practical things a product does: clean your windows, for instance, if you sell window cleaner. A benefit<\/em> is the feeling of happiness, efficiency, or peace the customer hopes to get from the product: the joy of having sparkling windows and knowing these will impress passers-by, for example. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      #9: Maximize Your Visibility<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Whitman believes you must get your ads in front of as many readers as possible by making ads big, frequent, and long<\/strong>. Whitman notes that bigger ads garner more attention than small ads, so make your ad as big as you can afford.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      #10: Ask Questions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Use questions, including rhetorical questions, to prompt audiences to think about your product more than they might otherwise<\/strong>, counsels Whitman. Rhetorical questions aren\u2019t always effective as selling tools, and some feel they never reliably work. However, Whitman contends that rhetorical questions can encourage audiences to simply spend an additional moment thinking about your product, thus cementing its place in their minds. Literal questions can also make readers want to know the answer to the question and continue reading to find it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
