Marketing campaigns cannot survive if they boring. They must become appealing to the customer through a variety of different measures.

Everyday there are more than three thousand marketing messages reaching out to the customers. It is really a huge competition if one expects to be recognized among the crowd. This message should talk to the customer and influence his mind. Strong, creative, confident and exciting are the key factors that a message should have, as it will be embed it into the customer’s way of thinking and he will remember it for a much longer time. The customer should feel empowered and should think of taking some action right away. For example, Nike’s catch line is Just do it, it’s a line that has such a great impact on the minds of the people that they use that line even when talking about everything else, along with Nike products. It is obvious that by adding certain features, the marketing appeal can be multiplied.

Scientists agree to the fact that using visuals to make a person learn something is the best option than any other means. As the old adage goes, “a picture speaks a thousand words”. So the best bet is to add visuals to promote marketing. Visuals can be anything like pictures, animations, or graphics. See for yourself what sort of response you get by placing a picture of a representative next to the products on the company’s website. This not only brings the customers closer but also strengthens the relationship.

Different colors depict different types of emotions. Messages can be delivered to people if colors and meaning are added to it. Red and blue colors are liked by aggressive shoppers, where as the yellow color catches the attention of the on lookers. Green reflects health, money and nourishment, so it can be used in food advertisement. Black means strength and power, that is why it has been used by Jaguar on their website background and advertisement. Wealth and royalty means purple. Colors used on business cards can also be used to attract the customers. But the colors should be carefully played with, too much can be distracting.  Professional help should be sought when selecting colors for business cards, website font, website background, logo, etc., to send the right message. On websites, fonts can be added which change colors and graphics that move.

There are lots of options available when thinking of what technology to use. The good news is that most of the options are cheap and easy to use. Audios and videos can be added to your website to attract attention. Like when one visits the Pepsi homepage, they are greeted with energetic music, which attracts teenagers instantly. To make a more realistic approach, welcome message, introduction video, interviews, or how the goods are produced, can be added to the website. Hearing a voice can be very touching and a rapport can be immediately developed with the visitor. Like Adidas’ website opens with a video which truly fits their punch line, Impossible is nothing.          

Business cards should be outstanding and at its creative best. Professionally designed graphics can be added to a brochure type of card. Information about the company, contact information, quotations, and picture can be added on four sides of it. The fonts should be the same.

Just listing the benefits isn’t enough. Customers want more, they want their needs to be met. If someone is thinking of buying exercise equipment, don’t just say that the machine has display, automatic incline, cooling device, CD player, programs, but also add that there is a program with audio instructions which encourages the person to do exercise, which is meant for people who need real motivation to get out of their couch and to start sweating out. So convey exactly why the customer should use the product, be more precise.

Uniqueness is the biggest key factor. Not only should the products and services be unique, the marketing campaign should be unique too. Not only will the effort be appreciated but also the impression will be everlasting. Once faith of the customers is gained, they will be your free walking advertisement and will spread the word to their friends and acquaintances.
