Advertising Headlines

Headlines are key to driving visitors to your website. As you draft your headline, think about the following:
  • Does your headline touch a nerve?
  • Does it make a unique claim or statement?
  • Does it provoke curiosity?
  • Is it credible?
  • It is specific?
  • Does it have a news element?
  • Does it offer a compelling benefit for reading?
One way to get new ideas for headlines is to consider a variety of approaches to reaching your target audience. Here's a list of headlines you may wish to review the next time you place an online text ad.
