Everyone seems to be panicking about the new Timeline for Pages so I figured it was time to make a quick video and reveal the results of a “Like” test I ran a few weeks ago.

And I love the psychology behind great ads. :-)

This is a GREAT ad!

Here’s my take on why it’s so great…

The reason it’s such a great ad is because it was placed in a suburban area surrounded by tons of elementary schools.

What audience do they expect to find near elementary schools?

Possibly SAHM&D (Stay At Home Moms & Dads) dropping the kids off?

If you know any SAHM&D, you probably know that “staying at home” can and will eventually drive a person crazy or drive them to drink. LOL!

A great sanity saver could be to get a job, right?

Can you think of the #1 “objection” a SAHM&D who wants to make extra money while the kids are school, might have?

I’ll take a guess:

“Who’s gonna hire me to work only in the morning when the kids are at school?”

The 5 simple words in this headline instantly overcomes that objection!

I LOVE IT!

The person who wrote this ad knows their ideal prospect inside and out and I bet their phone is ringing off the hook!

That’s my take anyway.

My first thought was: ‘How in the world do you expect me to believe you can help me with marketing when you’re out posting yellow signs on electrical poles around town to get business?’
