Coupons & incentives work well

Remember, this replaces your

LONGFORM STORYTELLING PERFORMS VERY WELL
If the storytelling in the ad hits the proper audience, magic happens. Relevancy scores are high, CTR's are strong, conversion rates are great, and leads are generated.
Use VERBALIZATION when writing your headlines.
Verbalization increases a headline’s IMPACT on readers. It naturally uses action and drama to pull readers in. A bored reader doesn’t engage in your content.
