"The free time I used to spend watching TV is now divided between shopping and blogging online," remarked one corporate executive, "it allows me to relax physically and it's certainly more entertaining than an episode of Law and Order." What was once a minor distraction is now a formidable competitor demanding its share of the market. How can direct mail compete with the dynamic web, traditional print media, and titillating TV or radio (satellite, broadcast or cable)? The most effective advertising demands target participation; it removes the "will I or won't I" part of the equation and turns it into "I MUST". Can you make them say "Man, look at that. What's that about?"
Here's an example: When asbestos removal was a big concern in the mid 1980's, a commercial building owner had no greater fear; not that he had asbestos, but that someone would find out. The ad campaign for my asbestos removal consultant was a gut wrencher for anyone with commercial real estate leasing in a highly competitive market. The headline ran over a photograph of a high dollar broker working the phones at night with a view of the city skyline in the background:, "I can get you out of your lease in a snap with the hazards clause." No one in the business could turn the page without reading the rest of the ad because desire was created in the viewer's imagination. They wanted to know more and provided the impetus to continue reading on their own. Here's a simple 3 step check for effective advertising, no matter what the media.

The dream was always running ahead of me. To catch up, to live for a moment in unison with it, that was the miracle. Anais Nin.We cannot think first and act afterward.

Here's the same formula applied to the asbestos consultants:
1) Motivate/Captivate--Did you know brokers are using your asbestos to void existing leases and relocate tenants to other properties? (YIKES!)
2) Grip/Tension--Have you looked at your statistics lately to determine just how much your asbestos problem is costing you in lost tenants?
3) Resolve/Solution--We have the answer. We can solve your problems quietly and cost effectively. We can stop the exodus and solve the problem.
Studies have shown that you have less than 3 seconds to capture the attention of your audience, whether it's in a stack of junk mail, online, in a magazine, radio or TV. The most self defeating mistake made is offering relief before they've gripped the target. Be careful not to show your hand before the game starts.
• Motivate and captivate; create curiosity.
• Grip their attention with emotional tension.
• Offer resolution and solutions; relieve the tension.
