Use This Video Ad Hook Format to Attract Your Ideal Clients

Hand pointing at a target with humans walking on top, implying guiding leads to where you want them to go in your marketing funnel

We’re having clients use much more specific callout hooks in their ad videos lately, mentioning the target audience’s interests, age, gender, income, and/or liquidity.

I like seeing at least 3 solid qualifiers in the hook – anything that makes the ad super specific to the viewer while repelling people who are not a good fit for the offer.

For instance, if your target audience is ambitious men who want to launch an e-commerce store, your callout hook would sound something like this:

“If you’re a man over the age of 25 and you have $5,000 to invest in launching your own $10,000/month ecom store in the next 90 days, this is for you.”

In our example, we’re including these five qualifiers:

  • Gender (men)
  • Age (25+)
  • Liquidity ($5,000)
  • ⁠⁠Affinity (starting an e-com business)
  • Specific goal ($10k/month in 90 days)

The secret sauce in this approach is that while you repel the wrong audience (e.g., people who don’t have $5,000 to invest), the algorithm works in overdrive to find the right buyers.

We’ve always recommended this approach at Vavoza.

However, now we’re demanding it because I realized most of our clients are uncomfortable doing this properly without an extra push – especially when one of the qualifiers is income or liquidity.

The good news is that everyone who started doing this is seeing a performance boost.

What is the Best Ad Hook for High-Ticket Offers?

The best ad hook for high-ticket offers does these three things:

  1. Calls out the target audience by interest or intent.
  2. Qualifies and disqualifies leads, especially by liquidity.
  3. Delivers a clear and intriguing offer.

For instance:

“If you’re investing at least $10k in the stock market every month but not getting a 10% or higher annual return, I’ll give you my personal system that produces 20% returns year after year, and if it doesn’t get you higher returns than you’re currently getting, you don’t pay.”

You want to evoke an emotional response, whether good or bad – that’s what turns a high-quality person into a lead.

If you do this in every ad and vary the body copy a bit, you’ll attract plenty of qualified leads and make bank. 🤑

(Assuming you’re training the pixel correctly and properly managing your campaigns.)

If it doesn’t work, then your offer, presentation, or funnel sucks.

Give it a shot.
