\"Invest<\/a>
Invest in a campaign you believe in! Give your customers something they’ll remember and hold onto.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The stunning success of the California “Got Milk?” campaign is legendary, and the powerful slogan is now part of the American lexicon. While this kind of advertising accomplishment is exceptional, it’s not the exception; any brand can apply the same principles used to develop, launch and maintain a landmark campaign \u2014 or build name recognition for their business.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the most valuable lessons from “Got Milk?”. They’re especially relevant for real estate professionals and investors looking to dominate their market, which our real estate signage solutions<\/a> have been helping them to do for years:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Make New Friends But Keep the Old<\/b>. Focus first on keeping those who are brand-loyal, because they’re your best source of increased sales.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The California Milk Processor Board (CMPB) chose to target regular milk drinkers, who constituted more than two-thirds of the market and were already favorably disposed toward the product \u2014 and thus more open to influence, especially in the short-term.<\/p>\n

    Entice your existing customers with discount offers and specials before expending energy attracting new business.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Be Candid<\/b>. If you employ a “Candid Camera” approach to discover how consumers feel about your product or service, you’ll be able to develop strong brand positioning based on these insights.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      The “Got Milk?” ad agency removed all the milk from company refrigerators, placed video cameras inside, and recorded employee reactions to discovering there was no milk. In another research study, consumers were asked to forgo milk for a week, then report back. Their stories provided fabulous fodder for future ad direction.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Cozy Up<\/b>. Find a strategy that speaks to the consumer’s heart \u2014 or stomach, or bank account \u2014 and go the distance with it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        When the CMPB tried to sell more milk based on its health value, people yawned. But when the CMPB heard what consumers were telling them \u2014 that food choices drive milk purchases \u2014 they came up with the winning “deprivation strategy”: chocolate chip cookies or peanut butter and jelly sandwiches lost their cachet without the classic accompanying beverage.<\/p>\n

        What “goes with” your product or service like peanut butter with jelly? Put that on your yard sign<\/a> or sandwich board<\/a> and gauge how customers respond, then tweak your strategy accordingly.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. K-I-S-S (Keep It Super Simple).<\/b> A great ad campaign that is too<\/i> clever can lead to the opposite result from what you intend. Consumers must be able to easily grasp your message and understand what action you want them to take. This is where a powerful slogan is key.\n

          \"messypaws\"<\/a>
          A great example of a simple, memorable slogan that could lead to an enlarged customer-base and generate new interest in your brand!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          In two words, “Got Milk?” functioned as a hook, a call to action and a take-away that could be adapted to a variety of placements. Think, “Got House?” if you’re a real estate professional, or “Got Lumber?” if you’re a builder.<\/p>\n

          Got the idea? Great. Just order it on the yard sign<\/a>, banner<\/a> or car magnet<\/a> of your choice, and we’ll take it from there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
