I have just listed 9 to 10 types of captions that will give your ad that extra uumph for luring your customers TO you! These captions are key to making your ad/product act as a powerful magnet, giving it a strong pulling power that will help your advertising work.
They are captions with the: 1. Problem solving style, 2. Direct Target style, 3. Guarantee offer style, 4. Testimonial style, 5. Free and value-added offer style, 6. Personalised style, 7. Benefits offered style, or, 8. How-To style.
You can use problem solving style by adding captions that ask readers questions and then giving them solutions. Ask questions that will generate answers 'YES' from your readers, such as “Are you suffering from backaches?” and “Are you tired of looking for someone who will rub your back for you?” and then tell them how your product will solve these problems. This way, you can easily capture attention of your target market. It acts on frustrations that reader may be experiencing at that time and proceeds to offer a solution to solve it. This is a powerful approach to capture attention and interest of your prospects.
The direct target style is another effective way getting to your prospects. Captions are specifically designed to target a particular market. When using this style, specifically mention who you are directing ad/product to. For example, if your target market is small businesses, direct your caption like this: “Small Business Owners, learn how to market your business online with step-by-step instructions”.
The guarantees offer style is perhaps most frequently used tool. Placing a guarantee offer, such as “Results in 30 days or your money back guarantee!” with your product makes readers feel more secure knowing that they can always get their investments back. Many readers resist purchasing something because of risk of losing their money spent on a product that does not work for them. People LOVE guarantees! This is a benefit that is attractive to them.
Speaking of risks, testimonials by your existing customers can be a powerful tool in washing away doubts that your prospects may have. Testimonials give a shot of credibility to your product and they take away that hesitation in dealing with an unknown business. Testimonials are more compelling when coming from celebrities, well-known people, and people admired by your prospects.
