Hub You - Why Benefit Headlines Don't Work
If you can work it out, and I know it’s not easy to do, the benefits of working at home are extraordinary.First, if you’re a single parent, like I am, then you are always there for your children when and if they need you.Second, you don’t commute. You save money on gas, wear and tear on your vehicle, cut down on pollution, and the more your
Question: What do you think the most important part of any ad is? Your company name? Your telephone number? Your offer? Look at your own advertising. What stands out? What is in the largest print? If it’s your company name or logo hold out your wrist so I can whack it with a stick. What’s the answer? THE HEADLINE!! Yo
But Eugene Schwartz explains in two ways why certain times, a big benefit headline will flop…”Why Haven’t TV Owners Been Told These Facts” outpulled “Fix Your TV By Yourself” type of headline.
First, the comment of Patrice is on target. Telling the customer not to do something or not to buy something implies revealing some secret or new information (benefits) to the reader…therefore the headline : ” Why this or that doesn’t work” addresses the reader’s skeptism, confirms his doubt, and tells him :”Here’s a chance to know for sure why this or that doesn’t work” and this chance is a BENEFIT.
Second, in Breakthrough Advertising, which I guess most of you must be familiar with, Gene Schwartz talks about market awareness and market maturity and life cycle of markets.
I think the power of benefit headlines is tied to the market awareness in these ways: is the customer aware that he can have the benefits you’re offering, is he prepared to believe the benefits you’re offering? If the prospect is not aware of the benefit, that the benefit can be obtained, if he is not aware of the need, but only feels that there is a general problem, a benefit headline might not wi
Creativity can be defined as problem identification and idea generation whilst innovation can be defined as idea selection, development and commercialisation.There are other useful definitions in this field, for example, creativity can be defined as consisting of a number of ideas, a number of diverse ideas and a number of novel ideas.There

The one ultimate reward that counts for any business organization is improvement of bottom line profitability and the return of satisfied customers. This end result must justify all the initiatives taken by upper management. Upper management utilizes a tool called “cost of poor quality (or ”COPQ”) as a barometer for evaluating six sigma projects. Apparen

It's no secret that there are many dangerous jobs out there in the world. Heck, some jobs that should be relatively safe, like working at a post office, result in people losing their lives. So while it is true, because of the world that we live in, that no job is totally safe, there are some jobs that are dangerous just by the nature of the job itself.

Affiliate Project X, or "APX," is an ebook providing methods for earning income as an affiliate marketer on the internet. There are many such methods, techniques, products and services being touted as "the key" to earning big money online. The field of net marketing is rife with competition, each one trying to outdo another. APX is no different in this re
Second, market maturity explains why benefit headlines become impotent. If 200 products are being presented using the same benefits (super-generous guarantee,outselling everybody else, offering employee discount,or other performances or offers…etc), after a certain time the benefits will be common ground and 1)they will have less impact on the reader 2)no company is really offering something different.
Claude Hopkins says something similar about market maturity, in My Life In Advertising. Basically, if everybody is screaming that their beer is pure, then nobody is really making a favorable impression on the beer drinker…the beer drink has grown accustomed and tired of the same old claim of purity. The claim of purity has lost its power.
Therefore the maturity of the market (how many products have been presented to the prospect, how many wild, and wilder claims have been presented to him, how much of these wi
