Offer Service

Remember the people you address are selfish, as we all are. They care nothing about your interests or profit. They seek service for themselves. Ignoring this fact isa common mistake and a costly mistake in advertising. Ads say ineffect, "Buy my brand. Give me the trade you give to others. Let me have the money." That is not a popular appeal. (p.9)
