…lamented King David 3000 years ago.
He should have seen how POWERFUL words can be in the 21st Century of high-octane commercialism, business capitalism and impulse buy advertising.
If your marketing words don’t sell, you don’t make money.
You know it. I know it.
And yet words are one of the most obvious areas of neglect at many businesses, large and small.
Obvious that is to a copywriter, and many savvy marketers, but often not so obvious to Directors.
Company Directors and rushed managers make the mistake of thinking that:
“words are simple. Words are common. Anyone can write the ‘blurb’ for the new product. Give it to the propeller head in the corner who did the programming for the new software, or let the marketing manager write the copy. Isn’t that what we pay him for?”
Alas no.
Copywriting is one of the highest paid professions in the world for a very decisive reason.
Here it is:
It’s darn difficult… takes a great deal lot of time to do right… and is a lot like running a government… everyone thinks they could do it but not many really can.
But for business management we have courses… degrees… even MBAs.
What do we have for Copywriting?
Underground courses developed themselves by nose-to-the-grind-stone copywriting legends such as Claude Hopkins, David Ogilvy, Gene Schwartz…
…plus the painstakingly researched and guarded collections of histories adverts to learn from – and a great deal of trial and error.
If you want to see a huge change in your marketing campaign ROI, put a direct response copywriter to the test. Not a branding copywriter for crying out loud. I said a direct response copywriter!
