Headlines For Every Situation

Your Advertising Headline is the "Ad" for your Ad. Knowing how to get your advertising piece read is strictly a factor of whether your headline demands attention. Here are 100 Advertising Headlines That Work and can be changed to fit any product or service. No doubt you have seen some of these already and that's because they work. Please do not use these headlines randomly. It is best to find out exactly what words and phrases motivate your potential customer to take action.

Remember that your ultimate goal is to sell something to someone. Right? If this is not the case, then you need to reconsider your marketing strategy. Although your strategy may be multi-leveled with your first goal to capture information about your customers, ultimately you want those customers to buy something. There may be some exceptions to this, such as companies that only conduct surveys for the purpose of gathering market intelligence that they can sell to other companies.

A good marketer will complete a series of customer surveys (or focus groups) by market segment to determine the "Hot Buttons" or motivating factors that get people to read their ads. Even though you may have the best product or provide the best service, nobody will ever know that unless you get them to read your ad (or email).

This sampling of headlines (subject lines) have been proven to work and are based on motivating people by using words and phrases that trigger their reticular activator and result in a response.
