Ten Ways To Write More Effective Ads PLR Ebook

Sample Content Preview

If you were selling an expensive watch, you wouldn‘t tell your reader that the face is 2 inches in diameter and the band is made of leather.

You show him how the extra-large face will tell him the time at a glance. No sir! He won‘t have to squint and look foolish to everyone around him trying to read this magnificent timepiece. And how about the way he‘ll project success and charisma when he wears the beautiful gold watch with its handcrafted custom leather band? How his lover will find him irresistible when he‘s all dressed up to go out, wearing the watch. Or how the watch‘s status and beauty will attract the ladies.

Incidentally, did you notice how I brought up not squinting as a benefit? Does that sound like a silly benefit? Not if you are selling to affluent baby boomers suffering from degrading vision. They probably hate it when someone they‘re trying to impress sees them squint in order to read something. It‘s all part of their inner desire, which you need to discover. And which even they may not know about. That is, until you show them a better way.

The point is to address the benefits of the product, not its features. And when you do that, you‘re focusing on your reader and his interests, his desires. The trick is to highlight those specific benefits (and word them correctly) that push your reader‘s emotional hot buttons.

How do you do that? Read on!

Push Their Emotional Hot Buttons

This is where research really pays off. Because in order to push those buttons, you need to first know what they are.

Listen to this story first, and I‘ll tell you what I mean: Once upon a time a young man walked into a Chevrolet dealer‘s showroom to check out a Chevy Camaro. He had the money, and he was ready to make a buying decision. But he couldn‘t decide if he wanted to buy the Camaro or the Ford Mustang up the road at the Ford dealer.

A salesman approached him and soon discovered the man‘s dilemma.

―Tell me what you like best about the Camaro,‖ said the salesman.

―It‘s a fast car. I like it for its speed.‖

After some more discussion, the salesman learned the man had just started dating a cute college cheerleader. So what did the salesman do?

Simple. He changed his pitch accordingly, to push the hot buttons he knew would help advance the sale. He told the man about how impressed his new girlfriend would be when he came home with this car! He placed the mental image in the man‘s mind of he and his girlfriend cruising to the beach in the Camaro. How all of his friends will be envious when they see him riding around with a beautiful girl in a beautiful car.

And suddenly the man saw it. He got it. And the salesman recognized this and piled it on even more. Before you know it, the man wrote a nice fat check to the Chevy dealership, because he was sold!

The salesman found those hot buttons and pushed them like never before until the man realized he wanted the Camaro more than he wanted his money.

I know what you‘re thinking…the man said he liked the car because it was fast, didn‘t he?

Yes, he did. But subconsciously, what he really desired was a car that would impress his girlfriend, his friends, and in his mind make them love him more! In his mind he equated speed with thrill. Not because he wanted an endless supply of speeding tickets, but because he thought that thrill would make him more attractive, more likeable.

Perhaps the man didn‘t even realize this fact himself. But the salesman sure did. And he knew which emotional hot buttons to press to get the sale.

Now, where does the research pay off?

Well, a good salesman knows how to ask the kinds of questions that will tell him which buttons to press on the fly. When you‘re writing copy, you don‘t have that luxury. It‘s therefore very important to know upfront the wants, needs, and desires of your prospects for that very reason. If you haven‘t done your homework, your prospect is going to decide that he‘d rather keep his money than buy your product. Remember, copywriting is salesmanship in print!

It‘s been said many times: People don‘t like to be sold.

But they do like to buy.

And they buy based on emotion first and foremost. Then they justify their decision with logic, even after they are already sold emotionally. So be sure to back up your emotional pitch with logic to nurture that justification at the end.

And while we‘re on the subject, let‘s talk a moment about perceived ―hype‖ in a sales letter. A lot of more ―conservative‖ advertisers have decided that they don‘t like hype, because they consider hype to be old news, been-there-and-done-that, my customers won‘t fall for hype, it‘s not believable anymore.

What they should realize is that hype itself does not sell well. Some less experienced copywriters often try to compensate for their lack of research or not fully understanding their target market or the product itself by adding tons of adjectives and adverbs and exclamation points and big bold type.
