Identify the single most important benefit

You need to identify the single most important benefit for potential customers.

For example, if you’re promoting your company name, repeat your name and address at least twice. (Or if on the radio, repeat the telephone number both at the start and finish).

Tailor your content for each medium

When you define your target market, advertise where you believe people will hear it. Find out if it’s radio, TV, or Direct Mail. To get maximum effect, you should tailor your content for each medium.

Repetition is one of the most effective strategies to get people to remember your message — use it, use it, use it.
