For nonprofit organizations, finding creative ways to market and advertise your cause is especially important. A large part of a successful marketing campaign is to have engaging advertisements. Successful advertisements should attract a reader causing them to read it, engage their interest so that they will continue reading it, and most of all the message of the advertisement should convince the reader to believe it. If your advertisement has these three characteristics, it will be successful.

 

The above characteristics of successful advertisements directly tie into the classic marketing acronym AIDA, which is a marketing model that describes the different cognitive stages that individuals go through during the process of buying into a product a service.

What does AIDA stand for?

A (Attention/Awareness) – Attracting the attention of the consumer and creating brand awareness or affiliation with your product or service.

I (Interest) – Engaging the interest of the consumer with regard to the benefits of your product or service.

D (Desire) – Stage of the process where the consumer goes from liking your product to wanting it. At this stage consumer become convinced that the advertised product or service can satisfy their needs.

A (Action) – The last step of the process where the consumer becomes a customer and performs the desired action based on your advertisement. This could be donating, downloading an information brochure, joining your newsletter, and other actions.

When designing advertisements, it’s important to keep these stages of the consumer thought process in mind and help this be the strategic roadmap for creating an advertisement that is successful.
