Some of us scoff at subliminal advertising techniques. We like to think our minds are entirely logical and immune to the influence of others. This just isn’t true, as any good salesman knows. After studying the subject for some time, I have come to accept that I will not just buy things, but I’ll be “sold” things, even by way of subliminal techniques.

What I CAN do is learn the techniques that are used on me. Then, if I want to, I can use them too, when I believe it’s ethical to do so. More importantly, I can protect myself from these techniques, or at the least be sold the RIGHT things. Want to do the same? Would you like to learn a few subliminal advertising techniques? Start with the following sales pitch:

“Does public speaking make you nervous? What if it was easy? Imagine standing at the podium, knowing exactly what to say to make them love you. Wouldn’t that feel great? Just apply our simple methods, and you’ll have that power. Use the form below to order right now.”

Okay, let’s dissect the sales pitch, sentence-by-sentence.

Sentence #1 : Does public speaking make you nervous? This gets the reader to say yes, which is habit forming. Getting a prospect to say yes is a classic old technique that still works. It also introduces the problem, for which the solution is coming. Read more… »

Here is an advertising design idea that will challenge you to make imaginative ads rather than boring ones. I call it the “Photo ID Design Model” and it’s a very useful device if you create advertising for your company or organization. It’s one of the easiest and most effective ways to create a striking ad, banner or poster. And it will almost always give you a result that gets noticed.

** Consider the photo id

Think about a “photo id” for a minute. Its most dominant feature is the photograph. The other elements on the card “support” the photo — the person’s name, address, or ID number.

These things are not necessarily less important than the photo. But the photo is clearly the main element. It’s what the photo id is “about”, and that is clearly reflected in the graphic design of the card.

If you’re not used to thinking of graphic design as related to function, this may seem like an overstatement — “Hey, it’s just a card with a picture on it.” But think about it for a minute. A photo id has the specific job of identifying a person. That makes the photo the most important element on the card. So it stands to reason that the photo should be given the most attention.

Some people say that advertising is everything! Regardless if you’ve a product, a service, a hobby website or just want to share pictures of your wedding, you’ve to advertise somehow to get the traffic to your site or blog.

But not all traffic is equal. There are services that can help you drive tons and tons of traffic to your site and it won’t do you any good at all because it’s not targeted traffic.

Take for example all of the many different ‘surf for traffic’ or ‘traffic clicking’ programs that are out there. If you’ve a website that’s about your hobby, say model airplanes, then what good is this traffic really going to do you? Who’s using these services?

Webmasters and marketers that want traffic on their own site. So they most expected won’t spend any longer time on your page than is required by the little timer these services use and so they’re gone again. Even if your site is about these traffic services (this is about the only time you’ll see very much benefit from using such a tool) you’ll still have to spend a ton of time just surfing and clicking around to get a real benefit from these programs. Once marketers realized this they switched gears. They started promoting all the different programs to a lot of other marketers to get them in their downlines, so they could get some traffic as a bonus. This became their new focus. The problem is that everyone else did exactly the same thing, so not a lot of people were surfing the internet anymore. Read more… »
