Our inboxes, phone lines, and mobile devices are constantly flooded with advertisements. Ad blindness, once known as banner blindness, is a common phenomenon in today’s society and should come as no surprise. There has been a noticeable decline in the number of clicks commercials receive from the general public. Many people find them irritating.
But it mainly pertains to commercials shoved down their throats, not ones they actively seek out.
Hold on a second! Are Ads something people actively seek? Surely you jest; who looks for advertisements these days?
I have in mind those who frequently, if not always, peruse online classifieds like those found on Craigslist. Those people aren’t just curious about ads out of curiosity. They want the goods and services advertised there. They are prospective buyers shopping for goods and services in particular categories. The purpose of classified sites is not to provide information. Category links in these virtual shopping malls have replaced the physical shelves. The advantages of classified advertising thus far are as follows.
Since no one is required to view a classified ad, it does not annoy anyone. They’re there for anyone curious to see them, that’s all.
They attract shoppers, not those looking for information or freebies.
Their categories help them appeal to a wide variety of shoppers.
Customers are already lured to buy by the prospect of a good deal.
Putting up advertisements is not enough. The making of them is what’s practical. The standard three-step process for selling a home consists of the following:
Post a yard sign.
Hold a housewarming party.
Attempt to sway and sell.
We don’t consider the cycle while writing the text for an online advertisement. Our working hypothesis is that online advertising works differently than traditional media. Therefore, we can throw something together and hope it works.
The success rate also fluctuates, is unstable, and is difficult to anticipate. That’s because it was doomed to failure from the start. You lucked out because there wasn’t much of a challenger. A successful advertisement needs two components, with a third being optional:
An enticing title.
A compelling message.
In-ad verbal request for reader participation.
An enticing heading/title
You want your ad to stand out to folks who only give the advertising a cursory glance. The ad has a short window to catch their eye and convince them to stop scanning and click. The potential customer stands to benefit. After all, that’s why they’re researching the market and weighing their options. Therefore, the only way to lure your readers (prospects) is to highlight the value/benefit they would receive. An emotional hook is optional. The following is a sample rental ad:
The adverb WOW is the emotional hook that gets them. The advantages are that it is large, bright, and in the middle of town. Rather than making just one advertisement, it is preferable to make two copies, as different people will respond favorably to both. See how many people react to it once you post it. The second should be published two or three days later. Make one that’s all evocative adjectives and one that’s just facts. An advertisement for an apartment in the second form may read something like this:
Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, 2400 square feet; Yonge Street
Wow factor reduced; large; bright; centrally located
The sole distinction is that the latter gives more information. Since the central business district of a major metropolis like Toronto covers such a large geographical region, it is more helpful to include street names. The essentials and values are communicated in both versions. Beautiful and pleasant are too generalized to be of much use. Defining “spacious” or “bright” is unnecessary for the reader. But in what way are you stunning? Why is it so endearing? Do you mean the old Victorian structure? Or a quiet lake house in the country?
You need to provide the reader a clear picture of what they’re getting into, or else they’ll go on to the next ad. Information will prevent time-wasting phone conversations and email exchanges, speeding up sales. That is, unless no other ads are similar to yours, which is improbable. Let us now dissect the advertisement above model into dos and don’ts.
The cost is a significant factor in eliminating unqualified tenants and homebuyers.
The fundamentals of the apartment include the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and square footage.
Features that set your house apart from the competition are a must.
Position (at least, a city or zip code) globally.
Ad titles should be avoided.
1) Empty promises and tired sales pitches like “Dream home,” “Won’t last long,” and “Location, Location, Location.”
The Home is up for grabs as a second redundancy, and I’m also renting it out. Surely you’re already making contributions there. Avoid wasting valuable real estate on irrelevant details without a lease term.
Three) Not entering an exact amount or skipping the price column. The phrases “Negotiable,” “Best offer,” and “Please contact” all fail as methods of weeding out unqualified buyers.
Four) Ignoring the total number of bedrooms
Five) Ignoring the place field.
(6) Giving a contact method, such as a phone number or email. This information doesn’t belong in the title. Only the unit details and one advantage are mentioned. Contact information is neither.
Expand on the information provided in the title in the body of your advertisement. There is a dual benefit to simplifying things. The first is to screen potential customers. That is, it will eliminate the ones that don’t meet your standards. Tenants unable to supply “landlord references” should not bother calling. Or the “Security deposit amount” is not acceptable. Include a note here if you cannot accept pets.
Once the fundamentals are laid out, you can expand on the features they’ll appreciate. Equally important here is maintaining the potential customer’s interest throughout the presentation of all of the product’s features and benefits. Making your offer stand out from the crowd is the most important thing to remember. They are probably offering comparable services. Take a look at what they have to offer to get a feel for the competition and the advertising strategies they are doing. You need to establish a tone for your sales presentation. You may need to lower or raise your rent to remain competitive.
1) Specifics of the home itself. A complete count of at least ten items is required. To compile your list, check out real estate or apartment leasing websites. Don’t forget to provide any amenities that might be useful. The pet-friendly policy, along with the home’s appliances, washer and dryer, central air conditioning and heating, cable television, internet access, windows, backyard, deck, barbecue, and pleasant neighborhood, are all pluses.
Method number two: convincing. Your potential buyer may now see that your property is a great deal and what they’ve been looking for.
Doing business with you is convenient.
You’re going to stand by them no matter what.
You are always willing to lend a hand.
You are honest and reliable (if you haven’t proven that already). Reveal your identity and the brokerage or agency you represent.

You’re ready for them to call you at your designated number.

3) Images of the property
Visuals are taken for granted by online customers. They are curious about their future neighborhood and want to check it out. A hypothetical home would be a poor basis for such a crucial investment choice. Show both the inside and outside of the house. Get a professional photographer if you don’t feel comfortable taking the images yourself. Just do it; you won’t regret it.
