Key Takeaways

• Your credit score is an important number when it comes to financial qualification, but most people are already aware of that. That’s why Experian only hints at “why” it’s important & instead focuses primarily on getting it quickly & finding out how good your score is. It’s an example of why you need to be in tune with the sophistication of your audience. If they’re already well aware of why they need something, it’s a waste of time to focus on it.
• Whenever there’s something we have a big desire & curiosity to know about, stressing that you can get the information “now” is always a strong driver. We hate not knowing the secret right away. That’s why Experian emphasize finding out “now” in all of their ads.
• When you have a killer front-end offer, people are going to look less into the stipulations and requirements vs. if they were just focusing on service itself. Experian mentions you’ll be enrolled in a trial of the credit tracker, but the flash of the $1 offer takes the focus of it.
• If you’re advertising something where a person ranks or gets a score, you may want to try putting a score in the ad that’s “good” or “bad” like Experian did. It creates a frame where the person wonders how they compare to that number.
