AIDA - an effective communication model

If you work with communication or marketing, the AIDA model is a simple but useful tool you should be familiar with. The model is often used in marketing and ensures that you get the right message across and reach the desired target audience.

The AIDA model has a hierarchical sequence that should lead to a sale in the final step. But a sale doesn't just happen out of the blue and requires thorough preparation in order to succeed. That's why the AIDA model consists of 4 phases: Attention, Interest, Desire and Action.

The 4 phases of the AIDA model

But what exactly do the 4 phases contain?

A - Attention

In this phase, you make sure to grab the recipient's attention. This is the first step leading up to the second phase. Factors that attract attention are layout and anything that catches the eye such as catchy headlines, images or that the recipient seems to recognize what is shown.

It's a matter of seconds to attract the attention of a potential customer. If you don't, people will quickly move on to something else - and then it's game over.

I - interest

The next phase is to create interest in the consumer. It's not enough to grab a potential customer's attention. You also need to hold their interest and pique their curiosity so that they want to explore your product or service further.

You therefore need to find out exactly what interests the consumer has so that you can retain them. In the interest phase, you elaborate on what the advertisement, ad, etc. is actually about. This is where the product is sold to the recipient's consciousness and the need is ignited.

D - desire

This is called desire, and if users reach this stage, it's because they want the product or service on offer. Therefore, it is important to appeal to the user's desires. Give them what they want. You need to convince the recipients that they MUST own what you are promoting. This requires that you have your arguments in order.

A - action

The last stage of the model is the action stage, and this is also the most important one. This is where the user will interact with your communication and either buy the product or learn more about your service. In this phase, conversions are created.

On websites, actions can be taken via, for example, CTA buttons that take the user to a purchase page or similar. As soon as the user has clicked "buy", an important conversion has taken place - the "visitor" has now become a "customer".
