3 days ago, I received a direct response sales copy that seem to be absolutely thought out. It's nicely drawn up, appealing and the photos are convincing.
Indeed, I was pretty fascinated in the matter (complementary therapy) it was . The brand name was gripping and did urge me to find out more. But I did not even complete the introductory article before I threw it into the rubbish bin. Do you know why?
It was filled with professional lingo! Pretentious, complicated terminology is all over the letter. I don't even know what is he is going on about although I'm sure people who have more medical experience than I do would.
I absolutely don't have time to explore my references to find out what he is trying to say and I'm definitely not interested in performing my research just to comprehend what he's trying to say. Who have? Would your prospects squander their precious time to find out what you're expressing in a sales letter?
No!
And that is what I'm attempt to talkabout in this piece: an extremely widespread mistake the majority of us have committed.
As a strategic copywriter, it's always imperative to achieve clearness than impact. Majority of professional copywriters attempt to write so that even a kid would know what he is coveying. Clearness and ease of understanding, explains very unmistakably what your offer is and conveys a very plain call-to-action.
Make sure that there is no uncertainty as to what you want your propect to do and what's in it for them if they do what you call abide by to do.
To accomplish Clearness and ease of understanding, here are a few tactic you can follow:
1. Stay away from regional expressions... there're loads of customers who will not comprehend what you mean.
2. Stay away from regional jokes. A story that's humorous in your country may not be humorous in other countries.
3. Stay away from professional lingo unlessyou are selling to "a player".
4. If you do use complicated vocabulary, clarify what you are trying to convey in the web copy.
5. Do use regular daily language.
6. Write like you speak. Use words like you and I not "we" or "us". Do not attempt to substitute words you usually use when speaking with something "more sophisticated". That type of talk does not have the personal touch that is helpful to your promotion.
