A=3-4 seconds I=20-30%D=20-30%A=20% max
![Page 14: Fall 2015 3700 Ad Copy Radio TV](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052705/587a11ed1a28abb4238b4815/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
AIDA ModelAttention• Grab it with 3-4 seconds.• Here are ways to hook the audience.
• Words, sound effects or music in radio.• With TV, you can add compelling images.• This is tell them what you’re going to tell them.
![Page 15: Fall 2015 3700 Ad Copy Radio TV](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052705/587a11ed1a28abb4238b4815/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Aida modelInterest• Interest grows from the lead; stick with the main idea.• Explain the product benefit • Explain how it relates to consumer needs.• Explain the selling points that produce the benefits.• Think context with content• Use the word “You.”• Intro the sales goal and name and location of the sponsor
who can make this happen. That location can be physical, online or social.
• This is 20-30% of the ad.

Aida modeldesire• Make people want to act on their terms in their
environment.• Desire starts with benefits, which we explain in
the interest section.• You need to know what the customer wants and
connect the dots.• If my coffee audience wants Starbucks coffee
and spends all day on their cell phone, and online app to buy coffee makes a lot of sense.

One important aida thought• Most local commercials focus
on the action step.• Most national commercials
focus on the desire factor.

time format.

or multiple voices?• More voices=faster pacing.• Do we need sound effects?• How does music help tell our
story?• Audiojungle…
