How to make the message memorable 7 April 2010

It says one thing and does another. And that’s why it works so well. This sign grabs my attention. I don’t know if it’s intentional, but I always do a double take because of the contrast. There’s the statement about the restaurant being upstairs – and there’s the writing pointing downwards. As with effective copywriting, it’s the surprise that makes it striking. Also like truly unique copy, it cleverly serves up something a little extra to give it personality. Making its message land well beyond bland. The touch of the unexpected means it doesn’t go unnoticed.
