You could spend thousands of dollars on advertisement and have extremely low or no results in sales because of your poor-planned copy. You shouldn’t be amazed by
fact that huge corporations all over
world do that mistake and waste millions of dollars on false advertisement campaigns.However, how can you write a good sales copy and killer ads that get
attention of people? There are no magic recipes for that, but you can follow some fundamental rules, which can lead to you to success if you adopt them properly.
1) Have a good product. Be honest and mean what you say or what you offer. Avoid
exaggerations and hyped claims. You stake your reputation and your business offline or online it doesn’t make any difference.
2) Have a plan on your trial and error period. Don’t expect to write your first copy and be a golden one. You will alter it many times, test it, retest it, try a new one and so on. Set a schedule for that. Do not fool around.
3) AIDA. It’s
proven and
bedrock of
copy process. Always follow it. AIDA A= Attention. You must grab it instantly or you don’t have a chance. I = Interest. You grab and keep their interest. If they get bored, they will leave. D= Desire. Interest must be transformed into desire for what you offer. A= Action. You must convince them to act now. Not tomorrow, next week e.t.c. They will forget it a few hours later.
4) Always work on your prospect's emotion. Most people buy something emotionally and then justify it rationally.
5) Headline is
Key. If it doesn’t grab their attention then they‘ve gone away. Your headline must be a killer one.
6) Promote your best and strong benefit at first, not last. That’s how you are going to create interest and then desire.
7) Tell stories. That’s an excellent way to rekindle their emotion or even their passion. Stories always inspire.
