After determining what we are going to sell, the next task is to effectively convey our message.

Copywriting is the art of writing words and messages that successfully sell a product or service. From the development of the sales message on a website to classified or banner advertising, writing ad copy will be used in many facets of your business. Unless you are going to pay someone else to do it, mastering this skill is essential to the success of your venture. That’s why it would be a wise decision to learn some copywriting techniques.

Before actually writing the ad- keep in mind that you want it to be short and to the point.

Now comes the challenge of creating that winning AD.

Get Attention, Create interest, get them excited and give them a reason to act-Your Ad must do the following 4 things to be successful.

  • Get Attention- You want to get their attention in the headline. Some ways to accomplish this is by restating a problem or a solution. You can also entice them with some unbelievable offer. However, make sure you can deliver on the promise. Here are some examples of attention grabbing headlines:

    1. The top 10 reasons of why Internet start-ups fail in their first year.

    20. Warning! These proven facts are beneficial to your health.

  • Create Interest- Get them wanting to know more about your product and to continue reading the ad.

  • Get them excited- “Sell the sizzle not just the steak”. In other words, offer benefits and solutions don’t just list the features of your product. Use powerful words, such as: New and improved--Once in a lifetime opportunity or Earth-shattering results.” However, it is extremely important not to make false claims. Convincing the reader that your product will solve a problem and create the ultimate pleasure for them is extremely important.

  • Give them a reason to act- Give them a reason to act now. For example, purchase by a certain date and get 2 for 1 or while supplies last. Another possibility is offering some type of free gift if they buy now. It does not have to be expensive and could bring you thousands of dollars in additional sales.

    Finally, take the “Blueprint For Success outline” and insert information that pertains to your particular business. Here again the PFBS: Problem, Feature, Benefit and Solution equation could be used.
