What does this ad do well? It:

• immediately grabs attention with an attractive image.
• starts by reminding the audience of a pressing need they have.
• covers the main goals of the realty group’s target clients—selling quickly at the best price and enjoying a professional experience.
• speak directly to viewers instead of speaking about them, using impersonal phrasing like, “We help homeowners sell their Southwest Florida properties.”
• uses marketing trigger words such as “need,” “simple,” “quickly,” “best,” and “advantages.”

This ad is effective because it:

• starts with the main goal someone interested in its program would care about—still being able to enjoy the present while not worrying about the future.
• reiterates more than once how its program meets the needs and wants of seniors.
• makes the copy easy to read at a glance via the list format.
• uses positive imagery and a resident testimonial to create a positive perception of the ad.

• reassures potential patients to ease common concerns about quality of care and such.
• mentions the locale the business serves so that New Hampshire residents know Spindel is an option for them.
• directly invites the audience to schedule an appointment rather than hoping they’ll take that action on their own.
