The 12 Most Persuasive Words in Advertising

July 18, 2012

The psychology department at Yale University studied consumers’ reactions to certain words in advertisements. The results were compiled to create the 12 most persuasive words.

So what was the top word?    You.  ( You’re more likely to get your target audience involved if you address them directly.)

The others:

Money, save, new, results, health, easy, safety, love, discovery, proven and guarantee.

“You” was listed as the most persuasive word in every marketing study performed by the researchers.

 

Ok, as an example, lets attempt to create an ad that incorporates as many of these persuasive words as possible.
