Command attention
-Only messages that are noticed and remembered
can be effective.
-Effective messages should attract attention and elicit comment
while at the but remain sensitive to cultural context, social

Cater to the heart and head
Messages must appeal to the audience.
A message that arouses emotion is effective
because people learn better when theiremotions are aroused.
Emotional appeals usually involve story tellingreflecting the situation and the feeling of anindividual.

Clarify the idea
A message should convey a single important
idea and make it clear so that the target
audience can understand it.
-

Communicate a benefit
People need a strong motive to adopt change
such as a personal benefit.
Benefits range from - good health, beauty, sex
appeal, financial security, or a happier life.
-

16/22
Create trust
A message that people will act on willingly must come from
sources that they trust. If the promise of a future benefit
does not come from a credible source people will not believe
it.
E.g. Most health messages are attributed to the Ministry of
Health to establish trust of the target audience.
This is a message from the Ministry of Health.
-

17/22
Call for action
Once convinced that the promised benefit is worth pursuing,
people need to know how to act on this benefit-where to go,
whom to call, what to buy e.t.c.
Directives should be clearly stated. Without a specific cue to
action, people may hear, understand, and even approve of a
message but still take no action.
-

18/22
Consistency
Repetition of a message is essential.
A message that is repeated many times, perhaps withvariations but always with basic consistency becomes familiarand people come to recognize and understand it without
having to stop to think.
As it gains recognition it also reaches wider and more diverseaudiences.
A good message should be used and reused until people knowwhat it stands for without seeing the name of the product.
