Emotions vs Information Quiz #111

These ads were kindly provided by Alva from Stridec.com. The targeted keywords were around the theme of “date restaurant”.

Never fall in love with your ads!

In the heart of Singapore, nestled between the modern skyscrapers, lived a man named Arjun. Arjun worked in a bustling tech startup, where he lived a life dictated by codes, deadlines, and caffeine-infused nights.

Despite the rush of his life, he found his peace in his grandmother’s tales of old Singapore – a time when love stories bloomed beneath the city lights.

One day, amidst a sea of algorithmic complexities, he noticed a new hire, Li Mei. Li Mei, with her radiant smile and sharp wit, was a breath of fresh air.

She was an artist, a painter who captured the city’s heritage and its modernity in her vibrant strokes.

Arjun was captivated. He yearned to know her better, to share stories beneath the city skyline. But he wasn’t a man of words, but of codes. How could he invite her to a date that would captivate her, just as she captivated him?

So he turned to his most trusted ally – Google. In the quiet of the night, amidst the hum of his laptop, Arjun typed in “date restaurant” in the search bar. He was determined to find a place that resonated with the city’s past and its present – a place that mirrored Li Mei’s art, a place perfect for their first date.


Version A in the Google Ads above focuses on emotions while Version B shares information with a lighter touch on emotions.

Which ad do you think won Arjun’s heart and increased Gary’s click-through rate by 32%?

Find the ad responsible for the 32% CTR increase. From 6% to 7.9%!

    • Allows only one variation.
  • RSA

    • Is an RSA that pretends to be an ETA, even though it’s not.
    • Is created by only using 3 headline out of 15 and 2 descriptions out of 4.

“Price Match Guarantee” vs “Lowest Price Guarantee” Copy Quiz #104

Hold on, I need to wear my thinking glasses on this one.

๐Ÿค“

So, what’s a price guarantee?

It’s a promise to a buyer that if they find a product being sold at a lower price elsewhere, they will get a refund of the difference in price. Two types of price guarantees are lowest price guarantees and price match guarantees.

“Price Match Guarantee” vs “Lowest Price Guarantee”… Aren’t they the same? ๐Ÿค”

According to a study, consumers do perceive the labels differently.

Lowest price guarantees are mostly seen as products truly being sold at the lowest prices prior to purchase, and the purchase intentions is higher compared to price match guarantees. Although, the re-purchase intentions in price match guarantees is a lot higher.

With that said, the question now is, which price guarantee were PC International’s shoppers most attracted to?

Such a tiny difference?


Which Price Guarantee won?

The winner nearly tripled the CTR!
