Consumers are bombarded with marketing messages every single day. From the often annoying ads that they see on TV to billboards on the side of the road to the banner ads that are present on virtually every website, consumers are constantly being told to buy, buy, buy. As a result of this constant bombardment, consumers have to filter many of these messages to avoid being overloaded. Because they filter many marketing messages, companies that rely on generic marketing approaches are not going to be able to effectively reach consumers.

In order to bypass consumers' marketing filter, your marketing needs to get their attention. By taking a unique approach that grabs their attention, they will turn off their filter and actually absorb what you have to say to them. The best way to get this crucial marketing edge is to set yourself apart with WOW factor effects. By using WOW factor effects like a lenticular 3D card, you can rise above your competitors and grab the attention of your potential customers.
