What I like:

  • Excellent curiosity-based headline. Makes the audience read on.

  • The “buyer” is wonderfully sold as someone who is passionate about craftsmanship, which makes the product more appealing because the creator cares about product quality.

  • The copy tells a story of the buyer’s journey towards crafting an excellent product, which is more engaging than simply stating features. Importantly, the story supports why the product has excellent quality.

  • They’re not over-selling the product. Instead of a boastful claim, they acknowledge that their goal is to double their hankerchief sales.

To me, this ad makes me feel like this business does hard, honest work - which is exactly what I want as a customer.
