Readers are exposed to a different
stage in the consumer process each
time they see your ad.
First exposure typically prompts your audience to be
curious about your product or service.
Second exposure typically prompts readers to
recognize how your product or service is personally
relevant to them.
Third exposure typically reminds readers how your
business fits their needs and prompts them to act.
