An ad agency or advertising agency is a business or service dedicated to planning,

handling and creating advertising for clients. These agencies are independent of clients

and provide their skills and views to sell clients services or products.

Advertising agencies can also manage branding strategies, marketing and sales

promotions for its clients.

For an advertising agency, it is very important to realize that they can increase sales with

their effort. Truly speaking, advertising agencies are minds working on the other side of

the internet to increase sales. For a person working as an advertising agent, it is veryimportant to know about the buyers psychology.

Those who are working in an advertising agency should know about the various thought

processes that go in the mind of a reader or a viewer, a potential buyer. This will

definitely help to build your business better.

heshe goes to purchase anything, the process is not the same for each buyer and it is

se!uential.

commonly attributed to American advertising and sales pioneer, %. &t. %lmo 'ewis.

The A#$A model states that advertising agency should know how to draw attention of a

buyer to get the customer interested by exhibiting its advantages, benefits and features.

better advertising business. (#) (s of advertising world have followed A#$A to

generate good advertisement campaigns.

AIDA is an acronym stands for:

A Attention (Awareness):attract the attention of the customer.

*ou must first capture the viewers attention + an essential component of any ad

campaign. ost campaigns rely on a mix of visual stimuli to accomplish this, using

images to help an ad stand out and create a lasting impression. Text is then employed to

further grab attention, enticing the reader to continue reading in search of more

information. That is why the first paragraph of a sales letter, direct mail piece or ad needs

to be the strongest.

)ood openers address their problems and begin with such as-

Have you ever...?

Are you noticing...?

Can you see...?

(ad openers give them something to ob/ect to, demonstrate your disrespect, or /ust bore

them to tears, and may begin with such as-

I've got just the thing you want...?

I just dropped by so that I might...?

I was only wondered whether you could...?

I Interest:raise customer interest by focusing on and demonstrating advantages and

benefits 0instead of focusing on features, as in traditional advertising1.

2ow that you have their attention, you need to keep them reading. This is accomplished a

few different ways. %stablish a need, create a bond and let them know they are about to

learn something very special. 3onsumers don4t actually need most of the products they

buy but think they do. (eing able to establish a need in the mind of a consumer is the

cornerstone of an effective ad campaign. 3reating a personal link helps build trust5

hinting at something special to come cements their interest in what you have to say.

6atch out for the boredom factor. *ou may be able to get someone interested, but you

cannot expect to keep their attention for ever. #f you want to come back some day, you

should leave them wanting more, at least of your company.

D Desire:convince customers that they want and desire the product or service and that

it will satisfy their needs.

*ou4ve got your reader this far, and they think they may need your product but are not

sure. This is the stage where you stoke the flames of their desire until they are absolutely

certain they have to have what you are selling. This is often accomplished through the

problem7solution techni!ue. *our consumer has a problem + you have the solution. The

solution is so amazing5 they simply cannot live without it. This phase also covers another

vital facet in any advertising campaign + what4s in it for them. This will build the desire

you need them to feel to make that decision.

$esire is like a fire, and can be stoked by many methods, such as-

&howing them how the item to be desired will not be available for long 0&carcity

principle1.

&howing how other people approve of the item and have ac!uired it for themselves.

&howing them how what you have to offer will solve some of their problems.

A Action:lead customers towards taking action andor purchasing.

*ou4ve attracted their attention, built their interest and fanned their desire. 2ow it4s time

to get them to take action. A call to action should be in every single ad, regardless of

format. 6hether it is a special offer, a free gift or time7limited discount, you need your

customer to act and act now. 6hether it4s going to your website, picking up the phone or

sending an order, the last section of your advertisement needs to contain a powerful call

to action.

'isten to the signals they are sending. Are they asking you about when you can deliver or

what after7sales support you give8

&ummarize the problem you are solving for them and how what you are proposing solves

that problem.

'ater versions of the theory have edited the A#$A steps. 2ew phases such as satisfaction

0A#$A&1 and confidence 0A#$3A&1 have been added.

S - Satisfaction -satisfies the customer so they become a repeat customer and

give referrals to a product.

"ne significant modification of the model was its reduction to three steps 03A(1-

Cognition -0Awareness or learning1

Affect -0Feeling, interest or desire1

Beavior -0Action1.
