Another challenge that all sales copywriters face is selling their product or service without
sounding too 'salesy' or overly promotional. You can overcome this issue by being truthful. Blurt
out the truth about your product, and your copy will immediately gain a lot of attention. Hit the
right spot. Understand the problems and issues that your readers are facing and tell them how
your product can solve them. It is all about adding value to your readers' lives. If you succeed in
doing that, you will succeed as a sales copywriter.
Use 'Greased Slide' or 'Bucket Brigade'
The idea is to build anticipation in the readers' minds. Terms like "You might be wondering," or "Here's the deal" sound promising and are ideal to spark interest. Once you build curiosity or anticipation, the reader is likely to read the whole copy. While you are using the technique of greased slide, make sure that you are also offering benefits along with the copy. Tell your reader about the product and how it will help change their lives for the better. This will fulfill their anticipation and end the copy with a feeling of satisfaction.
Develop a 'Punchy Messaging' Style
A punchy messaging style develops interest and keeps the reader hooked throughout the copy.
How this works – refrain from talking about or commenting on every product, service, or
benefits you have to offer. By telling them everything you know, you simply induce boredom
and prevent them from reading the entire copy.
If you are inexperienced, try to change all passive voice sentences to active voice as it will make a huge difference. In fact, using the active voice is also a new trend in the world of copywriting. So, the sooner you learn to write in an active voice, the better your copy will fare.
