entices them to
read the rest of
the ad.
The headline X is the phrase or
sentence that attracts the
readers’ attention to a product
or service. A headline should
also lead readers into the ad’s
illustration and make them want
to read the copy.

know the needs of the target market, including
matters concerning:
• Price
• Delivery
• Performance
• Reliability
• Service
• Quality

posing challenges, or using testimonials.

developing slogans:

true.

two or more of its meanings or the meaning of a
similarly-sounding word.
