Leasing vs Buying a Car: Which is ACTUALLY Cheaper?

Save reference
What to study

Curiosity Gap

Lease or buy is a choice every car buyer faces, and everyone has an opinion. 'ACTUALLY' says the usual answer might be wrong, and nothing in the title or thumbnail tells you which wins. THE SIMPLE MATH promises you'll finally follow it.

How the packaging works
Title

'Leasing vs Buying' puts the viewer's live decision in the first three words, and the question hides the verdict they came for.

THE SIMPLE MATH takes away the dread of car finance, and the gleaming blue SUV beside Humphrey's grin makes the decision look like a happy one, not a chore.

Remix this

When your audience is stuck between two options, put both in the title as a question and keep the verdict hidden. Use the thumbnail to promise the answer will be easy to follow.
