Marketing is not a dark art or something that needs to be complex, you are basicaly communicating a message or idea to an audience, there are a lot of different ways to get the message across, on line advertising, television advertising, radio and newspapers are all available but it is the message that is important the delivery is just convenient, learning how to talk to your audience is the biggest tip I can give.

When crafting your message following a simple but well tested and proven strategy is best and the simple acronym 'AIDA' - Attention Interest Desire Action is just what you need to ensure your success.

The first part is attention, it is all about getting and keeping the attention of your audience and if this means using a well known face or a celebrity in your marketing then go down that route, if it means using humor or shocking the audience these are also OK if that is what the audience is ready to engage with.

Interest, Once you have grabbed the attention of your audience it is time to keep the interest, talk about the issues your audience cares about, how will what you are marketing help the audience achieve their goal or improve their life.

If your audience has no desire for your product they will not be interested in buying it, this is why toys are in short supply around the holidays, by telling parents and more importantly children that a toy is going to be unavailable it makes the toy more desirable, there are a lot of ways of building desire for your product you need to find the right one for your audience.

The final part of 'AIDA' is Action, get the audience to do something, call the 0845 number, fill in the form, buy this product from this store. the action needs to be spelled out, do not depend on your audience to know what to do next, if you want your market to pick up the phone tell them too and give them the number.

Large increases in conversions can be expected when you have a call to action that is clear and speaks to the audience in a compelling voice that they identify with. The call to action needs to be thought of as one of the most important parts of your marketing.
