Attention Grabbing Headlines Examples

Are you looking for Attention Grabbing Headlines Examples?

I was looking through Craigslist the other day and a headline really stood out to me. It wasn’t because it was in all caps or using asterisks (although sometimes that does help). It stood out because of what it said. It was for a wedding photographer and the headline read:

“Do You Want to Love Your Wedding Photos?”

Pretty grabby headline, mostly because the photographer is addressing a need it knows its customers have. Brides (and grooms) want to LOVE their wedding photos. By doing a headline like this, it makes it obvious to me that this photographer gets “it”. They have already convinced me that me loving my photos is their top priority. Very effective.

Looking through Craigslist further, I saw another grabby headline. It said:

“New Apartment? Hip Artwork for Sale”

Again, the poster is reaching out to a potential target market, the new apartment dweller who is probably young and hip and doesn’t have much money. But the point is someone reading this, who does answer “yes” to the question “New Apartment?”, will be drawn to it.

Sometimes a headline can just make you curious enough to click over, even if it is not what you need or are looking for. Again, on Craigslist I saw the following headline:

“Fun, Funky & Fabulous Birdhouses”

Now I’m not in the market for a birdhouse, but I was curious how you could make one fun, funky and fabulous so I did click over to the listing. Now, it could be improved further. Maybe if they were to add:

“Gift Ideas for the Nature Lover: Fun, Funky & Fabulous Birdhouses”

By adding the “Gift Idea” part you have created a need. So while I may not need one, I am at least now thinking is there someone else I could buy this for. You could ask it in the form of a question, which is also effective:

“Need a Gift for a Nature Lover? Check Out These Fun, Funky & Fabulous Birdhouses”

Basically, the best and most effective headlines are when you directly try to answer a customer’s need.
