Three quick, easy-to-remember lessons in writing advertising copy.

Never:
• Use any derivation of the Got Milk campaign (e.g. “Got Trash?” “Got Pho?”)
• Make any allusion that “size does matter.”
• Use an exclamation point unless you really mean it.

We used the headline 'Size Matters' in a highly successful client ad campaign that ran for over a year and generated over a thousand qualified leads.

Sometimes it pays to break the rules.
