The General Advertisers And Their Agencies Know Almost Nothing For Sure, Because They Cannot Measure The Results Of Their Advertising. They Worship At The Altar Of Creativity, Which Really Means 'originality': The Most Dangerous Word In The Lexicon Of Advertising

What Really Decides Consumers To Buy Or Not To Buy Is The Content Of Your Advertising, Not Its Form.

If You Ever Have The Good Fortune To Create A Great Advertising Campaign, You Will Soon See Another Agency Steal It. This Is Irritating, But Don't Let It Worry You; Nobody Has Ever Built A Brand By Imitating Somebody Else's Advertising.

...consumers Do Not Buy One Brand Of Soap, Or Coffee, Or Detergent. They Have A Repertory Of Four Or Five Brands, And Move From One To Another. They Almost Never Buy A Brand Which Has Not Been Admitted To Their Repertory During Its First Year On The Market.

The Best Idea Is The Simplest.
