  Let's Dive Into It! 👇

We’ve spent the last four days digging deep—customer insights, competitor weaknesses, and crystal-clear messaging. Now, it’s time to bring it all together into an ad that actually sells.

This isn’t a generic, “buy now” ad. It’s a research-backed, high-converting message designed to make your customer stop, relate, and take action. 

Here’s an ad copy example. We wrote this after performing the last 4 steps for our client.

🚨 Your Shampoo Is Ruining Your Hair 🚨

Most shampoos are 70% water—you’re paying for diluted soap, not real results.

Even worse? Cheap formulas strip your scalp’s natural oils, leaving hair dry, brittle, and prone to breakage.

“I thought my hair was naturally dry. Turns out, my shampoo was the problem.” – Monica

Why This Ad Works (Based on Days 1-4 Research)

✅ Day 1 – Customer Review Mining: Real frustrations = Real messaging.
✅ Day 2 – Competitor Research: Calls out mass-market shampoo flaws.
✅ Day 3 – Core Message: Most shampoos are 70% water—you’re paying for diluted soap.
✅ Day 4 – Message Structuring: Flows from pain → solution → proof → CTA.

💡 This is how research-driven ads are built.

Discounting is a tool. Use it wrong, and you train customers to wait for a sale. Use it right, and it drives revenue without killing your margins.

Most brands go one of two ways:

1. They discount too often. Customers catch on, and full-price sales disappear.

2. They don’t discount at all. Thinking it’ll ‘protect their brand,’ but instead, they lose out on conversions.

The trick? Be intentional about it.

1. Reward the Right People

Not everyone should get the same discount. Prioritize:

• First time buyers to reduce friction

• VIPs and repeat customers who actually deserve it

• Lapsed buyers who need a nudge to return

2. Use It as a Hook, Not a Crutch

If your only value prop is ‘cheaper than usual,’ you’re in trouble. Instead, use discounts to get customers in the door—then wow them with your product and experience so they don’t need one next time.

3. Set Clear Boundaries

• Time limits = urgency.

• Exclusive access = perceived value.

• No overuse = customers actually believe your pricing.

Discounts aren’t bad. Lazy discounts are. If you’re using them as a bandaid instead of a strategy, you’re leaving money on the table.

Alright folks, that’s it for today!
