Types of announcements and ways of their design. How to make an ad. How to achieve effective advertisements

Joe Vitale is president of Hypnotic Marketing, Inc., a consulting services for marketing. He is called the Buddha of the Internet for the fact that he managed to harmoniously combine spiritual principles and marketing acumen. Joe has a doctorate in metaphysics and is also a certified hypnotist and healer. Oh how! I found his advice on how to write headlines very interesting. In general, all the tips are aimed at standing out among similar headlines and attracting the user's attention. Well, these are the realities of today's blogosphere and you have to use technology to stay one step ahead of the competition.

1. Start with catchy words
First!
Attention!
Finally!

Pay attention to the intonation of animation and the feeling of novelty in these words. There are other catchy words that open ads, such as "new" or "opening". The words “new” or “for the first time” are legally justified only within six months from the time when you first produced or offered your product, so if you really invented or produced something new, let everyone know about it right away.

2. Reach out to your audience
Plumbing Repair!
Housewives!
Leg pain?

This type of header will help you find exactly your customers. If you're selling legal literature, start your ad with "Attention Lawyers Invited!" By following this rule, you will attract the attention of the target audience, that is, the part of the readership in which you are most interested.

3. Promise customer satisfaction
Back pain will be gone in 10 minutes!
Buy TWO shirts for the price of ONE!
With the help of a new method - you will find a job in 2 days!

Satisfying needs is exactly what people pay money for. Decaffeinated coffee is a product, and the fact that "It will give you a healthy sleep!" - specific benefit. If a person has a backache, he pays, in fact, not for the medicine, but for getting rid of the pain. The headline "Back pain will be gone in 10 minutes!" reports that relief is possible. Offer recovery, not pills.

4. Present ads as news
A real breakthrough in driving safety!
New formula restores hair!
Seven Lost Secrets Found!

People crave sensation. Show the novelty and unusualness of your offer - and you will win attention. New product is news. A new use of an old product is also news. All & Nutteg has been around for decades, but the company is constantly finding new uses for its product, from toothpaste to refrigerator odor absorber, and it's always news.

5. Offer something for free
Writers are free!
Free - information on how not to pay extra taxes!
Free car repair manual!

Your free offer must be addressed to potential buyers. It may be free, but it should not be uninteresting. If the buyer is not interested, he will not write or call you. In addition, your free offer must be truly free, without any gimmicks or conditions, so that you don't get in trouble with the law. Any small business can afford to offer a product or service for free.

6. Ask an intriguing question
What are the seven secrets of success?
Do you make these mistakes in English?
Which fuel filter will improve the efficiency of your car engine?

Questions are a sure way to get attention. But the question in the advertisement should imply a specific benefit from the purchase of the product you offer. If your question is easy to answer with a yes or no, there is a risk that the readers of the advertisement will not want to understand the meaning of the question you are putting into it. But if there is a riddle in the question, the interested reader will want to read your ad to get the answer.

7. Use reviews
"This is the most powerful weapon I have ever seen!" (Clint Eastwood)
"These two books made me the richest man in the world" (Malcolm Forbes)
"That's why my cars finish first" (Mark Weiser)

Probably, the whole thing is in quotes, which are immediately evident. If the testimonials, as in our examples, are well written and able to intrigue, the reader will definitely read your ad. (Always use real reviews from real people, first asking their permission to post a review.) Any person who has ever used your services or bought your product can give you a review. A title enclosed in quotation marks will attract more attention: direct speech always enlivens the text and makes it more attractive.

8. Use the word “how?” in the title
How to make children obey?
How do you know if it's time for your car to pass inspection?
How to make friends and learn how to influence people?

People need information. They easily notice headlines that tell them how to do what they might need to do. If you're selling washing machines, your ad could be titled "How is our washing machine solve your problems?" Any headline will be brighter if it has the word "how" in it. For example, an ad might just be titled "Barber Services" but "Which Haircut Would You Like?" sounds a lot more interesting.

9. Test Your Readers
How smart are you?
Take this quiz and find out what is your electrical IQ?
Are you educated enough to be successful?

People love tests. Let there be a question in the title of your ad, and the body text is designed as a test or quiz. For this technique to work, the questions must, of course, be directly related to what you are selling. For example, the headline about IQ in knowledge of electrical networks was invented for the sale of the book "Electrical Networks". If you're advertising for auto repair services, you could headline it: "Is your car okay? Find out by answering our questions! You need to do everything possible to captivate readers with your headline. The ad test will help you with this.

10. Use "these" and "why" in headlines
These boats never sink.
Why are our dogs more expensive?
Why are these skis called "Class"?

The words "these" and "why" have such an impact on the text of the entire headline that they make it extremely noticeable to the attention of readers, forcing them to read your entire advertisement. An ad headlined "We have great skis" is unlikely to attract attention, while a headline "WHY are our skis called "Class"?" sure to arouse interest and motivation. Just add the word “why” to an existing ad headline and it will be better. Compare the boring: "Buy locksmith equipment from us" and the much more interesting: "Why does everyone buy locksmith equipment from us?"

11. Use "I" and "Mine" in Headlines
They laughed when I sat down at the piano. But when I started playing!
I finally figured out how to write quickly and easily!
Money flows into my hands, no matter what I take.

First-person headlines can be very effective if they generate enough interest and contain your offer. For example, anyone who wants to learn how to play the piano is sure to be attracted by a headline about the piano (this advertisement turned out to be one of the most successful). “You” and “your” in the title are not as effective because the sentence can seem intrusive and alert the reader, while “I” and “mine” present the product or service much more attractively. Here good example: "I wanted to help people, so I opened my own insurance agency."

12. Put the product name in the title
Vitamins "Jumko" help athletes run at lightning speed.
The Fiskin folding ladder saved my husband's life.

The title "How to Get Rid of Warts" is fine, but "How to Get Rid of Warts with Vitalism" is better. For more visibility, you can put your company name, but it should not be the focus of the headline. It is best to write a good headline that catches the eye of the reader, and subtly insert the name of your company into it.

13. Use the word "required"
Wanted nervous people.
We are looking for reliable people for difficult tests.
We need employees who are not afraid of additional profit.

Wanted is a word that evokes strong curiosity. Use it in your headline and people are sure to want to know who might need it nervous people? (Maybe a psychological seminar is being arranged to overcome fear?) Or who needs employees who are not afraid of additional profit: maybe the company offers its employees new types of income investment? Don't forget to reach out to your target audience. If you're counting on interest from lawyers, headline your ad: "Lawyers Wanted."

14. Use words like "breakthrough", "revolution" in the title
A revolutionary invention in the field of alarm systems!
The doctor offers a new revolutionary formula against baldness!
Only lawyers can provide a breakthrough in the affairs of the firm!

Breakthrough is new. This word is associated with the idea that your product or service is better than others. A similar effect is achieved by the words revolutionary or record breaking.

15. The title should alternate between uppercase and lowercase letters.
A TITLE WRITTEN ONLY IN CAPITAL LETTERS IS BAD TO READ
If the TITLE uses both UPPER and LOWER letters, it is EASY TO READ. It's obvious, isn't it?

16. The title should have as many words as you need.
Floats!
How often have you had to repeat: “No, I haven’t read this yet!”
Who hasn't bought beautiful furniture yet?

Headlines can be long or short. As long as they attract the attention of your audience, arouse their interest, encourage people to read the text of the advertisement - the number of words can be anything. Of course, no extra words are needed. But you should not limit yourself unnecessarily either.

17. Highlight the essentials
Arrow shirts with 50% discount!
Oil change. Discounts.
Subscription for six months. The remaining six months are free!

In order for your ad to work, you need to describe as clearly as possible why your offer is unique, why your product is undoubtedly better goods offered by others. This advantage needs to be highlighted.

18. The words "who else ..."
Who else wants to write a book?
Who else thinks that learning to sing is difficult?
Who else wants to buy a trouble-free alarm system?

The words “Who else…” in the title are very noticeable. They assume that someone has already purchased what is being advertised, and the person reading the ad might buy it too.

19. Use guarantees
Guaranteed to drive through mud, snow and ice. If you get stuck, we will tow it for free!
We live in an age of skepticism. Therefore, if possible, always mention the warranty in the title. If readers learn about the warranty from the headline, they are more likely to read your ad.

20. We can also mention the disadvantages
We are in second place, but we are trying.
Our chef does not know how to cook only salads.

By admitting your weaknesses, you win the trust of readers. Advertising too often offers miraculous products and services. If what you offer in your headline is almost miraculous, people will believe your ad more.

21. Focus on a positive end result
Your teeth will be whiter in 10 days!
Lose 35 pounds in 30 days!

Do not cause negative emotions of readers, hoping to better sell your product. People buy dreams and hopes, so it's always better to put "better health" in your headline than "get rid of fat." Don't scare your customers away with headlines like "Yellow teeth are ugly", rather attract them with the end result they are looking for: "Teeth will be whiter!" Do not forget that people buy healing, not medicine, that is, the end result, not the remedy. However, advertising must be believable. Of the two headlines: "Loose 35 pounds in 30 days!" and "Lose 35 pounds overnight!" - believe only the first.

22. Grab the ATTENTION of your target audience
ATTENTION HEDICAL WORKERS!
Attention: audio systems for your children!
Attention Small Business Owners!

Such a headline will easily grab your readers' attention, promising information and arousing curiosity.

23. Be careful with humor!
Not everyone has a sense of humor and different people it is different. Few people will be moved to buy by some joke in an advertisement. One of the main rules of advertising is, "You don't buy anything from clowns," and small businesses that try to make too many jokes in their ads tend not to be very successful. Why? Because you want to sell a product or service, not a joke. What is your goal: to make people laugh or to convince them to buy your product? If you do decide that a joke would look good in your headline, don't let it distract readers from the main point: “Used cars. Prices are very low!"

24. Easy and fast
Plumber services. Fast troubleshooting.
How easy it is to repair a roof.

People want to achieve quick results without much effort. If you can offer it to them, do it in your ad.

25. Title - Reversal
The title may look like a negative (white letters on a black background). But don't highlight the entire text of the advertisement in this way, because such advertisements are very difficult to read. However, the use of reverse printing only for the title may attract the attention of many readers.

26. Amplify the positive effect of the end result
Stop sleeping like herring in a barrel! Sleep like a king!
People really like dynamic and emotional headlines, from which they learn about the benefits that they will receive if they purchase what is advertised. Headline "Wide beds! Sleep like a king!” more boring than the heading “Stop sleeping like herring in a barrel! Sleep like a king! These ads are hard to miss.

27. Use proven clichés
FIRST: new method in accounting!
RECOMMENDED to homeowners!
WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS REAL SHOE REPAIR?

David Ogilvie, in his book Confessions of an Advertising Agent, mentions the following words often used in headlines: Free, New, How (to do something), Unexpectedly, Announce, For the first time, We're here!, Amazing, Astounding, Sensation, Breakthrough, Revolutionary, Miracle, Magical, Offer, Fast, Easy, Wanted, Challenge, Advise, The Truth About…, Hurry, Last Chance. According to Ogilvy, you can further enhance the effect of the title, using words such as "dear", "beloved", "love", "fear", "proud", "friend" and others.

28. Satisfy the "hidden" needs of the buyer
How to earn applause or even a standing ovation every time you give a speech!
This is the title of an ad written by Ted Nicholas to advertise a public speaking guide. In addition to mastering the actual oratory, success that causes "applause or even a standing ovation" is not a direct but very important need of the buyer. Try to discover these additional needs of your small business customers. Ask yourself: “What will people get as a result of buying and using my product?”

29. Make a case
Three reasons why you should write a book.
Seven reasons to call this doctor today.
Nine reasons why you should choose our apartment cleaning service.

Persuading readers engages them in reading your ad. To find out what your reasons are and what the advantage of your offer is, readers will want to go from the headline to the ad itself. The secret to success lies again in reaching out to your potential customers. If you are an accountant, give reasons for your proposal, the attractiveness of which can be assessed by your the target audience. If you are the owner of a mini-bakery, interest your future customers with a story about why your bread is better.

30. Use before and after and other juxtapositions
Right and wrong ways to buy a used car
This is a common way to show what the consumer will ultimately get by contacting you, and what he will lose if he does not. If you're a garden designer, you might want to start your ad with the headline: "We'll transform your abandoned jungle garden into a luxury park." In these types of headlines, you simply compare what people have now (the problem) with what you offer them (the solution to the problem).

It seems that writing an ad will not be difficult. We write the subject, content, contact number and the job is done. But we do not take into account the fact that before starting to write any text, it is necessary to study some subtleties. You want your text to be "heard" and "seen", and, of course, to work in the direction you want.

Search for missing animals

Consider an example of a missing cat announcement:

PERSIAN CAT IS LOST!
She disappeared on May 15 in the Levoberezhny area.
name is MUSYA, fur is fluffy gray, eye color is blue, age is two years.
Special signs: around the neck there is a collar - a leather strap with a golden medallion.

Below should be a photograph, preferably one from the last.

To the finder, please return for a generous reward!
Contact tel. : 066 00 00

Be sure to indicate special signs (scars, scratches, sores, lameness, color features, etc., and if it is a cat or a cable, do not forget to indicate whether it is neutered or not).

Such an ad can be placed in a newspaper, pasted on poles and bulletin boards in nearby streets.

Be sure to place your ad in all pet stores and veterinary clinics located near the place where the pet went missing.

Renting an apartment

The most important thing to start with is the places for further placement of rental ads. It all depends on who you want to rent your apartment to. Of course, you can post ads on all fences and bulletin boards, but believe me, the result will not be what you expect.

There is no need to place your ad on everyone, choose a few of the most common and consider that half the job is done.

And now let's move on to little secrets that will help you rent your home in the shortest possible time.

1) “Magic word”.

If you want your ad to be noticed quickly, you only need to write one word " owner" or " without intermediaries". Trust me, the call flow will start as soon as you post it.

But remember that in addition to potential customers, agents will also start calling you. Therefore, you should also write agents please do not disturb". During calls, specify whether the person is calling you to rent an apartment for himself or is an intermediary.

2) Price.

Be sure to indicate the price for which you want to give your property for rent. Those who really want to rent an apartment count on a certain amount and must clearly know what to expect in your case.

3) Photos and description.

People should know what kind of apartment it is and what condition it is in. Nobody wants to take a pig in a poke. It is necessary to shoot all the rooms from a good angle, but the photographs must be truthful without retouching and processing in Photoshop. It is necessary to be honest with people, even if they "peck" on the photo, they will still want to see the apartment in real form before signing a contract with you.

Do not forget to indicate whether there are household appliances, on which floor the apartment is located and whether the elevator works. But you don't have to write a whole essay. Be concise! Nice photos They will tell you about your apartment better than you.

4) Who do you prefer.

And most importantly, if you do not want a huge number of unnecessary calls, immediately indicate who you want to see as a tenant in your apartment: a girl or a guy, maybe a family without children. Indicate nationality and age, residence permit and other important nuances for you.

Renting an office

efficient and fast way office rental is an online bulletin board. You need to register, enter information in accordance with the area of ​​your office, add photos and then wait for the moderators to check your ad. You can also turn to specialists who, for a fee, will register you on more than 50 specialized sites for renting office space.

If you want to write and paste your ad in the "old-fashioned" way, then be sure to indicate the following information:

  • Address and floor of your office.
  • Square meters.
  • What condition is it in and does it need any equipment?
  • Availability of furniture.
  • Internet presence.

And best of all, attach a couple of good photos.

It is very important to indicate whether there are offices of well-known companies in the same building where your office is located, or nearby. People are very attracted to this kind of neighborhood. But it is necessary to indicate this not intrusively, but as if by chance.

Most importantly, the text must be written correctly and without errors.

Property For Sale

Such an advertisement must include the following information:

  • Number of rooms.
  • Location.
  • Square meters are common and individually residential.
  • Distance from the nearest metro/stop/parking station.
  • Kitchen and bathroom area.
  • The presence of a balcony and a loggia.
  • Price.
  • Sold by owner or agent.
  • Floor and elevator.
  • Is repair required.
  • Old house or new building.

If you want your ad to be of interest to potential buyers, you must use phrases such as:

  • There is a vigilant concierge.
  • There is an intercom.
  • The yard is guarded.
  • There is a large supermarket nearby.
  • Cozy bedroom.
  • The windows overlook the green park.
  • Solar kitchen.
  • In summer, the smell of flowers enters the house from the open windows.

And all in this spirit. First of all, people need to be attracted, and then set up for positive thoughts. But remember - you need to write only on the merits and only the truth.

Departure abroad is also a little alarming, because if anything, it will be very difficult to find you.

Of course, we write the truth, but we avoid sharp corners so as not to frighten off a potential buyer.

car sale

There are two important components here:

  • Honesty.
  • Amount of information.

As for honesty - it is necessary to write the truth and only the truth. Starting from the release date and ending with the options. If you use a lie somewhere, then it will certainly pop up in the service station and then the potential customer will refuse to buy without even thinking.

As regards the amount of information provided, then it must be complete, it is necessary to provide all the information that will be of interest to buyers. Namely:

  • Car model.
  • Year of issue.
  • Color.
  • Options.
  • What condition is she in?
  • Mileage.

Then you need to attach photos, but no more than 5 pieces. Before taking a photo:

  • Wash your car;
  • Remove everything you don't need from it. She must shine.

It is necessary to photograph the car from different angles, behind and in front, with an open trunk, from the back seat, and a photograph of an open hood.

Let us remind you once again that it is necessary to write only the truth, but there is no need to go into details about how many times she was in maintenance and how many times you got into an accident with her. There are things that the client does not see.

Now about the price. It must be assigned adequately, based on the actual state of your machine. Too high a price will scare off buyers, although the same can be said for a low price. Before appointing it, study the market, consult a specialist and only then install it.

If the price is not final, then the announcement must indicate that the price can be negotiated again at the final purchase.

Sale of used shoes and clothes

The first step to writing this kind of ad is an adequate assessment and pricing of the item being sold. Now you need to come up with such an ad so that after reading it, you yourself want to buy your thing.

The most important thing is the title. Do not load it with voluminous information about the thing. This is the part of the ad where you need to briefly state what you are selling.

For example:

Stylish business dress
Brand: Zara
Kyiv
The size: 38/10/M

Below should be the price of the item.

Write down and describe your item. Specify with what and how it can be dressed. Be sure to indicate the condition of the item.

If you have worn it at least once, then you should not write that it is new! Do not deceive buyers, especially in this matter.

The more interesting the ad, the more likely you are to “hook” people.

An example of writing an advertisement for the sale of shoes:

Red pumps with handmade embroidery
Compound: Genuine Leather.
Your feet will look amazing in these shoes. Red color visually lengthens the legs and significantly slims them. Very comfortable boot. Heel height - 7 cm. Country of origin - Italy. Worn 3 times, perfect condition. Selling because my husband gave me a similar pair of shoes. Photos are attached below.
The size: 36.
Price: 10$

Instruction

First of all, it is, which is "" - that is, it helps you sell, find, and so on. Don't hide your goal and make it very clear what you want to do with this ad. Look at the newspapers, there are quite often advertisements that can be understood in two ways. For example, in the section "Household appliances": "Refrigerator, inexpensive, telephone." Buy cheap or sell cheap?

Be informative and be sure to include all the important information for you. If you wrote “I will buy a used one”, but you only agree to foreign cars, and are not older than five years, and you also agree to spend no more a certain amount- most likely, a fair part will be "past the cash register." Yes, the ad should be short enough. But not at the expense of content.

Evaluate the situation from the point of view of the reader (buyer, applicant, customer, etc.). Try to put yourself in his place. If you want to buy yourself a used sofa, what will you be interested in first? Dimensions, condition, upholstery color? And write about this, and not about the fact that "he served faithfully for three years and gave many pleasant minutes." If you are posting an ad on the Internet and there is technical possibility attach a photo - do it.

Don't hide important details. Do you want to hire a secretary, but offer a salary below the market? So write it down. Yes, there will be fewer calls. But an effective ad is not about the number of calls, it's about the result. And the one who agrees only to high paying job anyway, it won't work for you in the end. But you will have to spend time on futile negotiations and raking three hundred resumes.

By the way, than your suggestion better than dozens similar? Why, for example, should you be invited to photograph a wedding? Oh, you are the winner international competitions? Or vice versa - are you just starting to practice and are ready to work “for food” on your portfolio? So write it down. And be sure to highlight (font size, bold - whatever).

Don't forget to include contact information. Moreover, specify not only phones, but also the allowable time for calls. People have very different ideas about what time it is decent, for example, to call a stranger on Sunday morning.

note

How to write an ad to be read. Be original, do not repeat yourself and do not repeat others! A simple recipe for success ;-) Why are people so willing to use message boards? Because, unlike newspapers, you can advertise on the bulletin board in a couple of minutes, and do it absolutely free.

Useful advice

The main purpose of each ad is to bring information to the reader. Do not try to write an ad "for everyone", this will not bring the desired effect, but may only scare away readers. Ads written in one (lower or upper) case are considered bad manners.

note

Don't make ads too long. Most message boards have a character limit per ad.
Do not include hyperlinks to other Internet resources in the text of ads. Most likely, your ad will not be published or edited in such a way that the link disappears or turns into plain text.

Useful advice

Sources:

If you want your ad to grab attention and get a response a large number of people, you need to correctly compose it. It is not enough to write a couple of lines and indicate a contact phone number. In order for the ad to be noticed, it is necessary to place accents correctly.

Instruction

Describe clearly what you are offering or looking for. Lack of information will scare people who are interested in your ad.

It is also not worth writing an ad that is too long. Most likely, it simply will not be read to the end.

Highlight key words in large print bright color: "Buying", "Selling", "Looking for", "Lost dog", etc.

If you have a color printer, print the ad on it. Take yellow sheets of paper and print the text of the announcement in red letters. The combination of these is recognized by psychologists as the most noticeable, attracting attention.

Post notices on bulletin boards in crowded areas. There, the leaflet will be seen and read by many, and the return on the ad will be high.

If you place an ad on the Internet, take care of finding a beautiful picture that fits the meaning. Texts with images are viewed by site visitors much more often than regular messages.

Indicate in the ad a contact phone number and the time when it is best to contact you.

Don't forget to identify the ad. Indicate how best to address, just by name or first name and patronymic.

Be sure to check the ad text for spelling and grammatical errors.

In order for an ad written in a newspaper to resonate with potential recipients, it is first of all important to choose the right publication. If a we are talking, for example, about selling a camera, you should pay attention to newspapers free ads in which the heading "hobby" or similar is well developed. And for selling a car or suburban area it is better to choose specialized editions.

You will need

  • - computer, internet;
  • - newspaper coupon, pen.

Instruction

Decide on the newspapers in which you are going to advertise. Find out how you can submit it. In some cases, this can be done by phone or. But there are publications where they are accepted only on the appropriate coupons, which are either sent by or dropped into the boxes intended for this. Start writing an ad in the newspaper, finding out all the nuances.

Start by choosing a rubric. It depends on how correctly it is produced whether your message will be seen by the recipients. If, for example, you want to rent a room, and mistakenly place an ad in the "I'll rent" section, you risk not getting a single response. Another is also possible. Let's say you mistakenly publish this ad in the "rent an apartment" section - then you will have a flurry of calls from those who will be seduced by a significantly lower cost. But it will not lead to anything, because. a significant number of newspaper readers will at first decide that it is an apartment, then they will inevitably be disappointed. He will also consider you a scammer who wants to draw attention to his offer.

Start compiling. First, it should be about the item that you want to buy, sell, exchange, etc. Then try to objectively indicate its condition, year of manufacture, how long it has been used. It is desirable to write a few words about competitive advantages- for example, why this model is better. When offering kittens, puppies or other animals, describe the breed, origin, color, main features of appearance and character. Also include a photo of the animal if possible.

Specify the price of the question, which will protect you from endless telephone conversations. This is best done at the end of the ad. If bargaining is appropriate - also indicate. End the text with contacts: telephone, poste restante address or e-mail address. Sometimes coupons have corresponding fields for this, so be careful.

Often we have a need to sell something, buy something, rent an apartment and the like. It follows that we want to find someone who will help us. Usually in this situation we turn our attention to the newspaper ads or the Internet. Or if neither is available in this moment, we are going to have to create an ad ourselves and put it up in the city. But what are we going to post? The advertisement must be printed.

Instruction

Calculate what you need. Do you want to post ads only in your area or will the entire city be covered? How many potential responses do you need? There are situations when it is enough to put up fifteen ads, and sometimes a hundred will not be enough.

Consider ads. At the beginning, by , is a verb in the first person present tense that indicates the main thing in your ad. This verb will depend on why you are posting your ad. There are a lot of options - “I will rent”, “I am looking for”, “I will buy”, “I will sell” or even “I will get acquainted”. This is best printed in the middle of the sheet in capital letters. Type the rest below, from a new line in small letters. Remember that the ad text should only display basic information, try to be as concise as possible.

To pass moderation, you need to correctly format the ad.

Headings, text and clarifications

The object of advertising (product or service) must be clearly defined in the text of the advertisement.

Comparative or superlative words can be used in ad text and clarifications if your site contains an independent opinion about the advantage of your product (service) over other products. If you do not have such conclusions, then you should not use superlatives.
