Top 6 Strategies To Craft Catchy Headlines By Dr. Vivek Bindra
The headline is a significant aspect of
your advertisement, sales letter, space ad, or email marketing. You can have
the best product or the best service, but it does not matter if the reader
doesn’t get past the headline.
Have you ever come across a headline and
couldn’t figure out which product was being sold? Or spotted a tagline in an
email that was longer than the subject line? Or has it ever happened with you
that a random tagline caught your attention and you ended up loving it so much
that you shared it amongst your peers?
Taglines or headlines are often
overcomplicated and underwhelming. And, changing the headline can make a huge
difference in your customer`s response rate.
According to Copyblogger, “On
average, 8 out of 10 people will read headline copy, but only 2 out of 10
will read the rest.”
Catchy headlines hold the power to grasp
your attention and determine the effectiveness of the entire piece. If you can
come up with a good headline, you can make an award-winning advertisement.

Here are 5 Tips to ensure that your
audience turns into your customers:
1. Name-Dropping Authority
No matter how deeply you have researched
before writing a headline, your customers will not trust you. To showcase
authority, it is always advised to use names of famous personalities, and
associations that are a proven authority in a particular field.
For instance, if you have the business of
selling medical supplies, and writing an article related to it, you can use
reports published by credible sources like Indian Medical Association, World
Health Organization.
If you will create authority via your
headlines, you will gain more visitors.
2. Lead with a Key Benefit or
Intriguing Question
Always put your
biggest benefit in the headline. This does not mean that you should put your
entire sales pitch, but only the biggest benefit for your readers. Your
headline should be so compelling that the readers have to stop and feel that
there is something of value to them.
Give them hope,
a promise, achievement, and confidence. For instance taglines of brands like
L`Oreal- ‘You Are Worth It’ creates an experience of achievement in the
customers. This instills confidence in their target audience and they keep
coming back for that special sense of achievement.
3.
Make Your Message Exclusive for a Community
If you have
subscribed to Dr. Vivek Bindra`s YouTube channel, you might have noticed that many
videos are based on a particular community. When you write a headline inclusive
for only a special group of people, readers see that they fit into the group,
and think that this particular ad, blog, or article is for them.

4.
Create Headlines With Extreme Unusual Emotion
The major reason
behind any successful advertisement is its ability to strike the right
emotional chord of the customer. If a customer can feel the “me too” emotion
instantly while watching the ad or as soon as he reads the headline of an
article, rest assured that he will watch the entire advertisement. It will also
attract visitors to your website resulting in increased conversion rates.
5.
A headline that Rhymes, Definitely Shines
Many brands have compelling headlines.
Customers remember headlines far longer than the product itself. But it helps
to create a recall value of the brand.
6.
Include Adjectives & Numerical
According to
KISSmetrics, “readers tend to absorb the first three words of a headline and
the last three words.” But how often do we write six-word headlines? Hence, to
make it more enticing, always include an adjective and a number in the title.
