should always be personal,put yourself in the customers shoes and address the customers needs,desires,fears and hopes.Show the customer how your product or service will benefit and satisfy their needs.Remember the golden rules when writing that ad.
ATTENTION Capture the customer attention INTEREST Keep the customers interest DESIRE Make the customer want or need your product or service ACTION Encourage the customer to take action.E.G Order
Pay attention to any ads that you read.Take notice of the ones you like and dislike.Keep a copy of the ones you like and use them as models for your own ads.
