Try our delicious Texas steer sandwich, then see the rip roaring comedy "A Texas steer
The pattern
This still is filed under Event symbol poster.
Define
A symbol or allegory that makes an event feel like a destination. Not a timetable. A magnet.
Mechanism
Attraction by emblem. Date and venue ride under a picture that already means come.
Verdict
We are filling a room, a night, or a run of dates
Why it works
Colour does the linking work a sentence would otherwise have to do: every phrase belonging to the tie-in - TEXAS STEER, "A TEXAS STEER", MASON - is red, so the reader connects sandwich to show to venue without anything explaining the joke. The verb pair try then see builds a two-step path where the first step costs almost nothing, which is exactly the ladder a cheap front-end offer uses to earn the larger sale. One drawing serves both products, since the steer is at once the meat and the title.
Steal this when
Copy this when a single image can honestly stand for two things you are selling and the cheap one can go first. The red-word linking trick is worth stealing whenever you need a reader to connect three separated phrases without writing a connective sentence.
