Ogilvy way- Part 1.

How to Craft messages that sell.

 Product /Service is ready for distribution. How to sell it.


1. Humour. _ If it can be said in a funny way, lighter tone. Do It. Recall will be high. Just make sure that Brand name is prominent in the message.

2. Slice of life. - Oldest way and yet its never ending.

3. Testimonials. (non celebrity) - Believable especially done through social media now a days.

3.a) Celebrity. -  Well it still works but its not very productive now.

4. Demonstrations - Seeing is believing.

5. Problem solution - Here is your problem, therefore here is your solution.

6. Talking heads (features of the product) - It may seem boring but its the only way to showcase the attributes for a high involvement purchase.

7 Character (Mascot) - Its the clown. Oh that means Mcdonalds... this method works well with time.

8 Reason Why- One reason to buy X over Y. It can be rational or emotional.

9 News - A new way to use a (old) product.

10 Emotion - A good method, but dont attempt emotion unless you can deliver it.

11 Cartoons- They work well for kids. Can also work for adults. (Need good content) - Example Amaron batteries.

12 Show the package - Ofcourse if you are selling something tangible, show it. If it is intangible, illustrate its benefit.
13. Music- sing it - If you have nothing new to say, hammering through a jingle is a good way as people retain music. ie. Nirma, Lifebouy, Mutoot Gold finance,
14. sound effect - It breaks the clutter. ie. Tide deterdent bar.
