What is AIDAS principle in advertising?

Answer 1

A = Attention: Make sure your headline catches your readers' attention. It must excite them just by seeing it. Make sure your headline either reveals or conceals a common interest. Consider a concern that a large percentage of your target market has and use that as the theme of your headline. Here are a few you can use:

1) TO PEOPLE WHO WANT TO QUIT WORK SOMEDAY

2) HOW TO BURN OFF BODY FAT, HOUR-BY-HOUR

3) THE MOST EXPENSIVE MISTAKE OF YOUR LIFE

These headlines catch attention. Think of some that will catch the attention of your target audience.

I = Interest: Interest is created by giving your potential customer multiple benefits that will enhance their life. Remember, customers buy on benefits not on features.

D = Desire: You can build desire by making your offer irresistible. Include heaps of free bonuses (they can keep even if they return your product) Include an iron clad, no risk guarantee. Also it is important to build urgency into every offer. For example: "Order now in the next 72 hours and you will get this free bonus."

A = Action. Last but most important, your sales piece must have a call to action. You must ask your customer to buy. If you have captured their attention, over-whelmed them with benefits and created an undeniable desire through free bonuses and the best guarantee, you must ask them to buy. You also must make it so easy for them to buy (as many payment methods as possible) that they will feel left out or disappointed if they don't.

Short and sweet. Run the AIDA formula against every piece of sales literature you are currently using and against every piece you create. It takes time in the beginning but as this concept becomes ingrained, you will find yourself writing better and better ad copy.
