The AIDA marketing model is based on the events that occur when a customer is exposed to an advertisement. The acronym stands for attention, interest, desire and action. Elias St. Elmo Lewis is credited with formulating this methodology and the overall philosophy is summed up as “The mission of advertising is to attract the reader so that he will look at the advertisement and begin to read it; then to interest him so he will continue to read it; then to convince him so that when he has read it he will believe it. If an advertisement contains these three qualities of success it is a successful advertisement”. The AIDA model has proven to be effective for decades and is the foundation of some of the most successful ad campaigns in history. Building marketing messages using the AIDA model will result in successful advertising campaigns.
