All we learn comes through our five senses. Advertisers try to appeal to as many as possible. For example, smell alone can sell fresh baked goods. Taste samples in grocery stores encourage people to buy the full package. Mattresses are not sold for looks but by feeling. People want to lie on them to imagine how comfortable they would be for an extended time.
The most influential of all our senses is that of sight. In fact, 80% of all we learn comes in through our eyes. Most of the other 20% is learned through hearing. A radio ad then must capture the consumer's attention through words alone.
With 80% of what we learn entering our eyes, advertisers are wise to center their ads around the visual. If they can add sound, this is even better. Printed ads can be read over and over by many people. They can last longer and for this reason potentially influence more consumers than sound ads alone.
Visual advertisement uses words and pictures. Words are abstract representations of real objects. The word 'mom' brings to mind a person, and good or bad memories. Words can also represent products. Some slogans have become famous. One of the best know was the Wendy's ad phrase, "Where's the beef?" Though mostly heard, it sold millions of hamburgers.
The quantity of words is rarely as important as the quality. People are busy and rushed. The message of the ad must be quick and catchy and informative, yet must give the message without boredom. This is a hard balance.
Humor, when appropriate, is an excellent way to capture the attention of the public. For example, Alaska airlines portrayed their company's strength through exaggerating the competition's weaknesses. It was humorous and kept people watching, and flying with them for several years.
Sometimes the ad is only a reminder of what the consumer already knows. A motto, a logo, or a symbol each might associate itself to a particular product. The colors of Pepsi alone will sell the product. In other words, the picture is all the ad needed.
When ads use visual and audio, use effective words, and add a touch of humor, that ad will surely get the attention of the public. It is a difficult combination, but certainly possible. Some are able to concisely express their product and then have the message flown over a large gathering of people. This is called a banner ad. It is an effective way to get a well planned message out to a large audience at a minimal cost. And with the added attention attractor of the plane's motor, the two major senses of sight and sound are used effectively to get the message to the public.
When you are confident your message appeals effectively, it is time to contact a company that provides airplane banners and begin the process of getting it into the air. In no time, your well planned message will be presented to thousands of people and the impact for you will begin to be seen.
