How effective are your ads? Sad but true, many spas don’t know the answer to this question. Spas rarely track how guests hear about them. You can’t improve what you don’t measure. It’s time to start tracking your ad campaign’s effectiveness. Writing is truly an art form and crafting effective ad copy takes time. You need to put yourself in the client’s shoes and ask yourself some questions. What are they looking for? What are their health, beauty, or wellness concerns? What is their benefit from using your products or services?

Like the headline, it needs to give the reader a reason to read on and support the headline or the hook. For example: (Discover 3 De-stress Secrets, or Experience the Ultimate De-stress Program at XYZ spa!) 3. The Benefit  What will they gain? How will they feel? What will they experience? Outline the de-stress program focusing on the benefits. Do NOT use the word “OUR!” It’s all about them, not you.
