It should grab the attention immediately. Think about it - what will grab your attention when you are looking through pages of advertisements? Unless you have a full page for your ad in a glossy magazine your advertisement is going to be one of many and if it is boring and it does not stand out it will not be noticed.
So what will get it noticed?
Colours - bright bold colours stand out.
Pictures - a picture of photo of your product will have more effect than an advertisement with a lot of text to read. People rely on their senses to make a lot of decisions - what they see, hear, feel, taste. You need to incorporate elements to s peak to their senses. I am sure you've seen magazines advertising perfume. They have a photo of the perfume (maybe a beautiful girl putting it on), the name stands out clearly and then there is a block that says - scratch here. Scratching it allows you to smell the perfume right there and then. They incorporated almost all your senses without overloading you with information.
Make the text you use easy to read. Fancy lettering makes it difficult sometimes. Play around with colours and backgrounds for your text - how easy is it to read? For example - light blue letters on a white background is horrible to read.
The best you can do is - surf the net and see what attracts your attention immediately, analise why it is eye catching and use the same principle for your ads.
