How copywriters should write the copy that sells?
Copywriting is not something new in the field of marketing your product or service. Certainly the persuasion-factor for motivating someone to buy your product has existed for very long ago.
What you have got to do is to provide best deliverable or solution to the requirements of the audience that you already know, is your audience. So specific audience retention is also an important milestone that you have to achieve in the marketing push that is more passive than advertisements which are direct selling and more active than the content marketing that only focuses on audience retention for the customers to believe that this product is here to stay for a longer period of time as a brand.
Your portrayal as a market guru or reference point for the audience of the product is very important in building your authority which ultimately leads to the trust-building between you and your prospective client.
I call it “your content superiority” over others. If your content is alive enough to hold ground for people to get attention and proposal accepted, then only the needs of the audience are met. Make a sketch of your audience in your mind to properly indicate their needs to address those needs. So the persuasiveness should only be equal to the content itself because exaggeration leads to the shaking of trust between seller and buyer for long term.
Proper research is another crucial factor that should be kept in mind when proposing. As the client who will move through your sales funnel and acquire your product should get the best deal in his universe. Your narrative selling for acquisition of the consent of the audience to take a decision must be based on facts backed by numbers.
Much emphasized factor that rightly stands true is the keywords incorporation into title, subheadings and the conclusion of your writing piece.
Simplicity of your language is the key to the mind of your audience and showing the connection. It is also vital to put verbs in your title, subheadings and CTA to drive the reader into motivation of doing something. Uniqueness also drives curiosity, therefore please focus on that as well.
No misinformation campaign should be launched which ultimately harms the product. In addition to that, consumer should have right to complain. As you know, PAYPAL has 6 months of complain period. This way customer feels safe.
Few points that need to be kept in mind for copywriting are that:
Relevant to the brand identity is very essential.
Persona building of your brand.
Try bringing your audience in your universe.
Inspiration for the target audience.
Comparison is important factor but direct comparison invokes suspicion in the mind of reader and one might slip into the hands of competitor.
Credibility of your information comes with showing some data, survey or numbers.
Anticipate about possibility of apprehensions of customer and deliver its counters.
