Out of the box thinking People are busy. The fact that you’re spending your precious time reading these lines right now is mind-blowing. Seriously.

Make sure not to waste people's time. Always be consistent and coherent to your company’s values. Your visitors will appreciate it, and more likely that your messages will resonate.

However, that doesn’t mean you should be boring. They already heard similar slogans many times before in the past, they've probably heard many different vendors promising the exact same dreamy benefits – so how do you get them to engage with YOUR brand?

What’s next? In order to make sure that you not only attract visitors, but also convert them at higher rates, you should complete the ads' experience with an on-site experience to ensure a great journey for your visitors.

Conclusion We didn’t seriously mean for you to use zombies. Wait, scratch that. We did. You should use zombies, dark lords, and even chickens. The idea is to get people to smile, to raise their eyebrows, to simply engage. You can only deliver your message after you receive someone’s attention. Be playful and try and get any sort of emotional reaction. Do whatever works for you, don’t take yourselves too seriously.
