Best Body Copy Of a Print Advertisement 2

Week 5

Post 2


Daihatsu MPV
I find this print ad interesting as it made me laughed at it for a bit. This is an ad for Daihatsu's MPV which is cheap and also ordinary looking. The approach that is used on this ad is to compare this humble vehicle to a prestige luxury car - Lamborghini. Despite being out of its league, this approach has a positive effect which is being humorous and hence grabbing readers' attention with it.

Headline: Obviously the headline is the core of this ad as it is emphasized with big fonts which have taken up two thirds of the space. The headline "Picks up five times more women than a Lamborghini" itself is very eye-catching, straightforward yet making readers want to know more about the subject. Hence, continue reading the body copy.

The body copy consists of all the benefits that the vehicle offers. However it is presented in a humorous way as well. The body copy is quite engaging to the readers. For example, it says "don't laugh" after the sentence where it brags about the product. It's overall idea is to compare with Lamborghini and convincing people to not waste that kind of money to buy a luxury car.

This ad has fulfilled the requirement of a good body copy as it has also included the "call-to-action" for readers. As for the layout, it is clear, concise and clean. Without any clutter, I find this particular ad effective and very pleasant to see.
