A headline is a line set in a large type to get readers' attention and lead into the body copy. It is supposed to be a relevant summary of what follows as an attention-getter. To be effective, a headline must serve a few purposes. Attracting attention is first and foremost, but it must also engage the audience, explain the visual, lead the audience into the body copy, and cue the selling message. The average message has only a couple of seconds to capture a reader's attention. Ideally, headlines present a complete selling idea. Research shows that on average three to five times as many people read the headline vs. read the body. If the sell isn't clear in the headline, the message would be a waste to the client's money. In outdoor posters or billboards, the headline is the only copy, so it has to communicate the entire message along with the visuals. The difficult is that the headline needs to be short and sufficient. Also healines are used to showcase news, as in newspapers.
