There’s an old saying: “You can’t be
all things to all people.” And it certainly
applies to advertising and selling. You
can’t create one ad or commercial that
appeals to everybody, because different
groups of buyers have different needs.
So, please a copywriter, you must first identify your audience—the segment of the market you are selling to—and then learn which product benefits interest these buyers.
Too much advertising is created in a vacuum. The advertiser and the agency write copy based on the product features that catch their fancy, not on the features that are important to the customer. The result is copy that pleases the agency and the advertiser, but leaves the customer cold.
Understanding the customer and his/her
motivation for buying the product is the
key to writing copy that sells.
In a survey published in "Mainly
Marketing", advertising agencies and
buyers of high-tech products were asked
which product features they considered
important.
The results showed that advertising agencies stressed features that were not important to buyers. The agencies also omitted information that was vital to the buyers.
For example, both purchasing agents and engineers ranked price as the number-two consideration when buying high-tech equipment. But the agencies said price was unimportant as a copy point.
Agencies said high-tech ads should stress how the product saves the buyer time. But engineers and purchasing agents said this is far less important than product specifications and limitations.
When you write copy, don’t write in a
vacuum. Don’t just sit down at the typewriter and pick the features and
benefits that suit your fancy.
Instead, find out which benefits and features your readers care about—and write about the sales points that will motivate readers to buy the product.
