bookWriting Effective Ad Copy

Ad copy is the core of every campaign β€” it can determine whether an ad converts or gets ignored. Strong copy includes headlines, primary text, CTAs, and psychological triggers.

Headline:

  • Short, clear, benefit-driven;
  • Example: instead of "New Shoes Out Now", use "Run Faster, Feel Lighter – Try Our New Ultra-Light Sneakers!".

Primary Text:

  • Hook with the first sentence (question, problem, solution);
  • Use a friendly, relatable tone;
  • Keep text concise, avoid long blocks.

CTA (Call-to-Action):

  • Clear, action-driven phrases: "Shop Now", "Start Free Trial", "Get Yours Today";
  • Avoid vague CTAs like "Click Here".

Psychological Triggers:

  • Urgency/scarcity: "Only 5 left in stock";
  • Social proof: "Join 10,000+ happy customers";
  • Emotional connection: "Power up your morning with 20g of pure energy".

These principles apply not only to ads but also to emails, websites, and social posts.
