Optimal Branding
Magazine advertising, whether printed or digital, is to create ‘brand awareness’, rather than immediate sales. Therefore, advertising in Professional Leader Magazine is a strategy for long-term growth and brand sustainability. In many cases, the reader is unlikely to need your product or service immediately. However, if your target audience comprises managers and business owners, they will have a future need. The challenge is to ensure they remember you when that time arises.
The AIDA Principle
The AIDA principle is an acronym for Attention, Interest, Desire, and Action. All effective advertising will incorporate this critical principle to some degree. AIDA started as a practical framework in the early 1800s and later evolved into a widely used model that incorporates the ‘hierarchy of effects’, which outlines the progression of attention, understanding, motivation, and response. Professional Leader Magazine advertisers who apply the AIDA principle generate more enquiries than those who do not.
Capture Readers’ Attention
You need to break our readers' preoccupations and capture their attention when they read Professional Leader Magazine. Use a snappy advert title of no more than three to seven words. The title needs to connect immediately with our readers’ problems. Often, a provocative question or statement will help you do this, such as ‘Need Your Marketing to Shift Gear?’ or ‘Weary By The Daily Grind?’ This approach encourages our readers to reflect on your proposal before turning the page to read the next article.
Generate Readers’ Interest
In bullet points only, tell readers what the USPs (Unique Selling Points) are for your product or service. Again, keep this short and concise. Moreover, your advert needs to offer a solution to our readers’ problems. Remember, the reader did not open Professional Leader Magazine to look at your advert. They are primarily interested in reading our unabridged exclusive interviews with celebrity leaders. Therefore, your advert needs to be of significant interest for them to surrender their valuable reading time.
Arouse Readers’ Desire
Now, whet the appetite of the Professional Leader Magazine readers. Think about it. At this point, they are still deliberating whether to turn the page in our flipbook and read the next chapter in our unabridged exclusive interview, which is thought-provoking and emotionally charged, so you must have a compelling reason to stop them in their tracks. You need to engage our readers emotionally and increase their desire for your product or service. Therefore, you must encourage them to contact you when they need your product or service again.
Inspire Readers’ Action
The first action we need our readers to take is to click the link in your ad, which appears in the respective Professional Leader Magazine issue and as text ads across multiple related pages. That first click transforms our browsing readers into your prospective customers. You have achieved this result by initially grabbing their attention, generating interest, and arousing desire. Therefore, the click should not be an accident. Rather, it is a thoughtful decision to learn more about what you offer and possibly generate an enquiry.
