Sometimes, it can seem as if the world is conspiring against you and your marketing efforts. But not if you use a time-tested powerful headline.

In the world of marketing communications, both online or offline, your headline can lead to marketing success … or failure. Copywriting and marketing pros alike turn to certain headline formulas that they know will always work well.

In the lead article in MediaMinister’s latest newsletter, Communiqué for Success,  I present my favourites, and show you how you can use each one in your own marketing.

What can make all the difference between so-so marketing and great publicity?

Good-old-fashioned customer testimonials.

Positive feedback from your customers or clients are one of the strongest, most compelling forms of credibility any business can use. And on top of that, they are brilliant at substantiating any claims made about your products or services, thereby lessening doubt, cynicism or even premature ‘buyer’s remorse’.

Strange then that most business-owners don’t seem to make much use of testimonials. Some don’t bother to use them at all! If they do, they depend on average testimonials, unaware of the fact that if they put in a little bit of effort to get riveting, convincing testimonials, then more sales and profits are a likely result.

To read more on testimonials, including how to get great ones, point your mouse to:

1. Work out how often per week, month or year you are going to send out your newsletter, and then stick to this schedule. Consistency and regularity are key.
2. Provide quality content that is relevant to your target audience and is worth reading.
3. Hold competitions. People love the opportunity to win prizes, and a good competition can make your ezine ‘viral’.
4. Don’t overpopulate your email newsletter with ads.
5. Be patient. It takes time for newsletter marketing to work.

Fellow blogger and marketer Karen Purves has published a fantastic post on 2010 predictions.

You can read it here.

I’d like to add just one (to keep the list short and simple): transparency. Marketing has been moving away from hype to authenticity, and I think being more transparent in business is key. By being as upfront and as genuine as you can be, you’re more likely to attract higher-caliber clients and customers.

After years in the making, and months spent chained to my desk, I am delighted to announce the unofficial launch (expect to see a press release soon to make it all official) of my new business Advantage, Inc Limited.

The company was founded with one key factor in mind: to do away with the old (and frankly unfair) client/agency model. Namely, where you pay good money to an advertising or marketing agency — daily fees of anything from £500 to £5,000+ — yet have no idea whether they’ll deliver any tangible results. Sure they may produce glitzy advertising campaigns that win awards within their industry, but what about you? How would you feel if the fruits of their labour produced results that weren’t as good as you’d hoped? Or, worse, failed miserably in terms of ROI?

Advantage, Inc is based on a new methodology:

Number One: To only use strategies that have been proven time after time, year after year, with hundreds of different types of companies in almost as many industries all over the world. Most of our strategies are fr!ee to apply or cost very little to implement in your business.

Number Two: To work with clients to uncover hidden profit opportunities within their existing business — hidden assets that almost 95% of companies overlook — and show them our field-tested systems can be easily and simply plugged in’ to their existing business.

Number Three: To eliminate risk and show full accountability by taking our fees from the profits we make for clients. In other words, Advantage Inc is entirely results driven, and we only get paid for performance.
