MY 100 WORDS-- OK, another dialogue tip

OK, so you've vowed to eliminate names from dialogue ads. Good start. Next?

Get their attention from the first line.

At BENMARadio, we like to use sound effects. But a great opening line can do the same thing.

"He open the door and there was Michael Jordan."
"What happened to your head?"
"Seriously? A mini-skirt?"

You get six seconds, according to people paid more than us to study stuff like that. So--exchanging information in a conversation won't hold an audience. Jar their senses. Make them sweat or laugh.  Use radio for what it does best----- entertain.

More coming.
