Answer 3

In my ads I make sure I include the business name and contact, phone number, address, business hours, website address, email address, and then your slogan or something to catch their attention. You can also try and offer some sort of special. Something like "mention this ad to receive a 10% discount."

Answer 4

As someone who sells tv ads, I think a call-to-action is the most vital part of your ad.  You have to get your potential client's attention AND give them a reason for choosing you.  Give them an offer that stands out and stand behind your business.  Everyone claims to have the best service and low prices.  "If you're not satisfied, we'll clean your house for FREE!"  

Answer 5

Are you talking about a classified ad or a display ad?  

Generally you want to appeal to customers by telling them the benefits of your product or service...not so much the details like...will clean this, will clean that, hard working etc etc.  

Example...you want to tell them what using your service will do for them...like, free up their time so they can have fun, save them money, keep their family healthy because you eliminate germs...these are just some examples...you will need to come up with your own that fit the business.  Then of course how to contact you.
