WHY COPYWRITING IS A GREAT TOOL
By Andrew G
Words are still the single most important tool anyone can have.
Yeah sure, videos, Instagram-ability and flash photos are all great but at the end of the day they all need something to help them work – copy.
Copywriting is what brings the abovementioned things to life. After all, what is a beautiful scenery shot without detail as to where it is?
The importance of copywriting shouldn’t be undersold because it helps you resonate with your audience and cut through all the marketing clutter. You can relate to words. You can set a tone with words and drive your point across at the same time.
Generally, copywriting is seen as a marketing discipline but you don’t need a degree in marketing to understand the fundamentals of copywriting.
What you do need is an understanding of what your message is, who you are speaking to and the ability to communicate that point clearly.
Here are just a few benefits of fantastic copy:
- It Sells
- It Is Personal
- It is Direct
IT SELLS
Copywriting isn’t just words on a page or screen and that is where most people who underestimate copy go wrong. Words are powerful.
Have your doubts? What do you think Google Adwords are? Yep, words! A perfectly crafted Google Adwords ad can generate unlimited sales and clicks – if the words are right and structured properly.
IT IS PERSONAL
Copywriting can speak directly to your audience. The use of words has the power to communicate with the reader on a deep level. Again, using the right words is key to that.
IT IS DIRECT
You don’t get a lot of time to catch someone’s attention these days. People are rushing, they are distracted, time-poor or have their heads buried in their phones scrolling away.
The benefit of copywriting is that it should be short, sharp and straight to the point.
CONCLUSION
Great copywriting is more than just words on a page or screen. It is probably the most personal way to communicate without being face-to-face.
Done right, copywriting is a very powerful tool that can drive your message home and deliver spectacular results.
