"There are no dull products. Only dull writers." Leo Burnett
Frank Kaiser was fortunate to work at Chicago's world-class Leo Burnett Advertising Agency when Leo was still there and active. The great man loved print advertising so much that he often stated that TV was "just a passing phase," one of his few errors in judgment.
Kaiser's love for print is equal to Burnett's.
When you cut your teeth on print, as Kaiser did, you learn the only thing that counts is the idea. If the idea is strong, prints makes it stronger. If weak, there's no way to hide that lack of an idea. Print is the perfect medium for the best writers -- and a great place for big ideas.

| WHO SAYS YOU CAN'T MEASURE ADVERTISING EFFECTIVENESS?
For years Readex Research has been testing ads as they are seen and read in magazines.
Three qualities are measured:
- Attention -getting
- Believability
- Information value
Kaiser Communications consistently scores highest in all three areas, often 400% to 600% better than the average ad in the magazine.
That means you get 4 to 6 times the bang for your buck with KCI.

Client: CHRISTIAN HERITAGE TOURS
|
|
| Headline: Oberammergau. We have space.
Copy Lead-in: Take a tiny Alpine village. Give it one of the biggest tourist events of the decade. What have you got? No space for the tourists...
Challenge: The Passion Play at Oberammergau, Germany, comes once a decade. It's so rare, so famous and so beautiful, it's always sold out. Our challenge was to tell travel agents that we could accommodate their clients, "we" being an unknown travel wholesaler.
Big Idea: Simplicity! No only does the heading and cartoony illustration tell the complete story, it tells it in a guileless manner that inspires childlike trust.
Bottom Line: Tours were sold out the publication date of the magazine.
|
 |
|
| Tip: Cartoons are a vastly underrated devise to tell a crisp sales story in advertising. |

Headline: Expect to sell those things?
Captions:
Mrs. Kaiser plucked here.
Little Jimmy thumped it here.
Mrs. Solomon squeezed here.
Stockboy nibbled about here.
Copy: Next time, sell them with Atlantic's clear, fog-free PVC Packaging Film. Keeps curious hands off, freshness and sales appeal in.
Big Idea: Again, simplicity. The story's told by the time the produce manager reader gets to the headline. A strong, simple idea, presented with respect for the reader.
|
|
| Bottom Line: This Progressive Grocer ad was "read most" 830% more than the average ad for that issue. And it sold lots of PVC as well. |
