When shampoo companies advertise, their product makes the user’s hair stronger and reenables hair growth, They simply play with the fear of users who are losing hair, and are desperate. To put it simply, They sell shampoos to people who don’t have hair. Guess what, that’s what you have to do. Make this as your strongest aspect, when labels approach you, or when you have to fulfill a client’s demands. Don’t have a song to pitch, Attack their fears.
