IT ads produced by people who know IT

Writing clear, effective IT ad copy requires specialised knowledge. It’s critical the writer understands the subject matter and the audience it’s writing for.

After all, how can anyone convince a customer to buy if the benefits aren’t clear?  What sparks a CIO’s interest is different to what motivates a retail shopper.

Ten ways to make your IT advertisements work

1. Identify where your prospects are in the buying cycle
2. Be clear on the behaviour you want to drive
3. Distinguish whether your products and services are high- or low-involvement
4. Use language and references your audience will understand and respond to
5. Design with black text on a white background, it’s more easily read and comprehended
6. Capitalising Every Word Makes It Hard To Distinguish Proper Nouns And Slows Reading
7. Use active voice
8. Make images relevant and compelling – stock shots look like stock shots
9. Make your claims contextual so readers visualise using your solution
10. Keep design secondary to readability. Focus on fast reading and high comprehension.
