The
positive use of borrowed interest and concept imagery unite in this
ad to give it a mnemonic boost and strong recall. The woman at the
point of immediate focus captures the readers initial attention with
her lovely evening gown, which in itself implies something different,
something special, out of the ordinary. Couple this to the purple
color of the gown which is both unusual and interesting, and
therefore, memorable and easily associated with the product known as
the purple pill. The headline - It's Prilosec Time - identifies the
product and ties into the time benefit of 24-hour effectiveness. The
sub-head as the most prescribed pill for heartburn adds further
credibility to the explanatory copy so that persuasion is
directionally above the norm. Overall, the ability to attract readers
and increase buying interest is almost twice as effective as Ad B
when tested among women.
