The winning formulas in pain relief that week

More about this formula
One thing to test: Show the same kind of close-up for the problem your product solves, at the same strength as the ads already running.
What the pictures show: Tight photos or illustrations focused on the affected knee, foot, ankle, or shoulder—often with hands touching or red pain markers—to signal relevance to sufferers.
On the networks: Close-ups like these are running right now, so the same kind of shot is fair game. Keep it no more graphic than the ones already running: nothing gory, nothing sexual.

More about this formula

More about this formula
One thing to test: Make your own before/after in the same form: your product, a real-looking customer, an honest result.
What the pictures show: Side-by-side or split-frame visuals that show the person in pain on one side and recovered, active, or relieved on the other to promise a clear outcome.
On the networks: These are running on the networks right now, so a before/after in the same form is fair game. Keep it honest and no more extreme than the ones already running.

Using an older week
A winning formula that kept running for several weeks is stronger evidence than one that showed up once. Check whether it is still running on the latest pain relief page before you build on it, or see the winning formulas that kept winning the longest. Make your own version for your product, never another advertiser’s pictures, names or claims.
