Driving Growth through Skillful, Direct-Response Copywriting
Your Business: The Game Changer
Ever wondered why some businesses blow up like a supernova, while others just meander along like a lazy river? Well, it's not about having the best product or being the most business-savvy. It's usually because they've got a direct response copywriter on their side, leading their customers straight to where they need to go.
Let's delve into the enticing world of direct response copywriting and see how it can turn your business into a thriving empire.
Meet the Maestro: The Direct Response Copywriter
Lost in the sea of copywriting options? Fear not, as most of them are relatives, at least loosely, to the big kahuna: direct response.
The goal here is simple: make the reader decide – make them respond. The response could be many things:
- Signing up for a newsletter
- Clicking for more info
- Exploring the offerings
- Making a purchase
- Enrolling in a course
- Clicking to send a dollar (yes, really)
- Registering for free
...or any other action that the reader ought to take. Pro tip: if you're attempting to be your own copywriter (let's face it, you're no Scott Sery, the world's best copywriter), stick to one choice. Keep it straightforward and guide your audience to your desired destination.
Guiding the Decision-Making Process
The secret sauce lies in employing some psychological tricks to steer people into making decisions that will send your business soaring. Here are the top two techniques to create those irresistible feelings:
The Utopian Society - Show potential customers their ideal world if they choose your business. Ever thought about McDonald's or Coca-Cola ads? Life is perfect, there's nothing wrong at all, if you just drink Coke and eat at Mickey D's.
Dystopia Awaits - depict the dark, dreary world that awaits if you don't choose that business. Grab a beer commercial that portrays sadness because there's no beer – that's what I'm talking about.
Combining these two techniques can create a powerful force. Make it even more potent with:
- Testimonials for added conviction
- Humor for building trust and intimacy
- Scarcity for fostering a sense of urgency
- Eliminating downside risks (e.g., money-back guarantee) to prove you've got nothing to hide
The Power of Direct Response Copywriting
Almost all ads incorporate some elements of direct response. Even my blog entries (you know, buy from me, please) are brimming with direct response tactics!
But let's discuss where it truly shines.
Email marketing is still a force to reckon with. If you already have a decent email list and aren't utilizing it – why not?!?
DM marketing and text message marketing have gained traction over the years.
Social media offers a prime location for direct response for the foreseeable future. The platform may change, but the game's essentially the same.
QR codes have given static ads (like magazines, billboards, flyers, and more) the ability to respond too.
In short, wherever your brand appears, there's an opportunity for a direct response component.
