Updated on

This vintage Ford ad nails one concept perfectly: visual proof beats lengthy explanations. Instead of listing specs about cubic feet or inches, they just showed two vans side by side—with one taller and clearly marked “23% MORE LOADSPACE.”

Why It Works

  • Visual comparison makes size obvious in a second
  • Simple, bold labels (“Regular” vs “Giant”) do the explaining
  • Contrasting colors and symmetry direct focus effortlessly
  • The 23% figure gives psychological precision and trust

Real-World Examples

  • Apple’s iPhone lineup imagery side-by-side every year
  • Domino’s “40% more cheese” promo visuals
  • Dyson’s “2x suction” graphics
  • Coca-Cola’s “Share Size” bottles shown next to “Regular”
  • Amazon’s “Compare with similar items” feature layout

Simple visuals like this do the selling before the words ever start.
