So who’s Aida? Actually, Aida is not a person. It is a technique used by many marketers and expert designers to create a more effective marketing campaign for any business. AIDA is an acronym that stands for Attention, Interest, Desire and Action. It is a tried and tested formula to make the most successful advertisements, whether it’s a web page or a print sales literature such as poster printing.

Get attention; generate interest; create desire; and call for action – these are the steps you need to have in your marketing collaterals in order for you to generate leads for your business. The problem with most ads is that most designers aim to grab attention by applying bold and out-of-this-world elements to shock and overwhelm the target audience. Many websites even fall into this trap by flashing graphics that make it difficult for viewers to download easily.

Sure, you can get their attention fast; but can you get them to stay and be convinced – enough to make them want to purchase your product or service? Getting their attention is only one part of the process. Until you make them want to buy from you, you will never achieve the results you want from your marketing campaigns.

Here’s AIDA to help you retain enough of the attention so you can convince your target clients of your worth:

Get ATTENTION – Your ad in your poster printing for example, should be able to attract attention. That is, first and foremost, the objective of having a marketing campaign. Once you’ve gotten their interest, you are now ready to provide them information that would relay who you are and what you can do for your target clients.

Generate INTEREST – Sure, you were able to get their attention; so what’s next? Have your information provide them the reason to stay and know more about you and your business. It’s not enough that you got them interested. You should be able to make them want to stay with the information you have in your collateral. And what can make them want to stay are the benefits that you will tell them. The benefits that would make your offer more appealing than that of your competition. What is unique about your service? How are you different from the rest when it comes to the benefits that you can give your target clients?

Create DESIRE – Your information then can create the desire from your target clients to acquire and have whatever it is you are offering them. How can they get your benefits? What will they have to do to buy your products and avail of your services? This then leads us to…

Call for ACTION – The final step to a successful marketing campaign. Once you are able to convince your target readers or viewers to do whatever it is you’re asking them to do, and then it would be much easier to convince them to go and purchase your products and services.

So the next time you’re thinking of designing a new poster printing for example to market your business. Think of AIDA. It will help you generate not only the leads you need, but more importantly, it can create clients out of your leads which will get you the profits you desire.
