5-Step Copywriting Success Formula
Step 1- Determine the Problem
Before a company attempts to reach out their prospects, it must first identify where their problem lies. It could range from reach and exposure to inconsistencies with content.
The company should then focus on two aspects to create successful copy: the curiosity of the consumer and the ability to appeal to their emotions. This can be done by asking: What keeps them awake at night? Bills? Jobs? Frustration? Illness?
Consumers respond to content that speaks to them, not at them. It helps to remember to market with heart, not hype, in order to empathize with the consumer.
