If the answer to all these questions in ‘No’, what should be your next step? In order to stir up your target audience, you have to evoke emotional response which can make them wish for the type of outcome that you yearn for and the action that you want. Here are few secrets to know.

#1: Utilize the ‘Halo’ Impact

Trust is what builds a relationship and hence if you want your audience to follow your CTAs or Call-to-Actions, then you should initially earn their trust. Halo effect is one of the best ways of building online trust through content. This impact refers to the tendency of people to form a positive opinion of something by changing their feelings. When it comes to using the halo effect, you can feature well-known figures or brands which support your brand, feature a CEO who is popular in his expertise and also show how your team is involved with several charitable organizations.

#2: Storytelling can be used

As it is heard, storytelling can have an impact on the different parts of human brain and it can also give rise to emotions, particularly when the message of the story is strong and emotional. If you use the story as the basis of the ad, then the target audience is going to relate in the best way possible. There should be an incident, a rising action, some complication, a climax, a reversal, falling action and resolution to the story.

#3 Utilize Unity

The more people share a strong sense of identity, they tend to influence each other in a better manner. In case you can remind someone of his shared identity, this will make the entire thing more persuasive. You can get people in creating something together, use familiar language and references as according to their age and situation. Shared location and ethnicity will be emphasized and there are different other factors which tend to build unity.

#4: Evoke curiosity
