Check this ad out and tell me what you think - "They laughed when I sat down at the piano, but when I started to play!"
That was one long ad.

They don't write ads like they used to.

That maybe because we are all so busy that we dont have time to read such long prose. Everything these days is about speed and instant gratification.

People are bombarded with messages all day every day and they don’t take notice because they filter things out.
IMO more imagination / creativity in order to catch their attention is the key.

Yes filters are in play. The messages that capture attention and get noticed are the messages that are tied to the personal interests of the prospect.

Was there an overwhelming reason for this Wonderboy? I can see how longer copy would be a great qualifiier since only the people who are really interested would bother to read the entire ad.
