Retirement in Reverse: Better read this if you are 62 or older and still making monthly mortgage payments.

Key Takeaways

  • The ad calls out a very specific type of person which allows them to focus in on very specific messaging throughout the ad. The more specific the better.

This is a softer approach vs. feeling like you have to fully convince them in the ad. Instead, the focus is put on the free item as having the information that will help you understand the opportunity.
  • My favorite part of the ad is when they cite an impressive stat from AAG, which sounds like a big outside organization, yet it's actually the company behind the ad!
