Copy Writing Crash Course - Part 8

The purpose of a sales page is to convert your visitors into paying customers.  Needless to say, if a sales page fails to accomplish this, it can never be considered as effective, and your campaign can never attain the level of success you might have expected.

There are many techniques you can employ to ensure that your sales page will be able to persuade people to buy your products or services.  Let’s take a look at 5 of the most popular of these strategies.

Performance Marketing Agency
1. Use testimonials.  Testimonials are words from other people recommending the usage of your products or services.  People are more inclined to believe the words of third parties compared to the words of the merchant himself.  Testimonials have an aura of objectivity, and more often than not, they are enough to convince many of your readers into patronizing what you have to offer.

2. Give emphasis to the benefits and relate them well to the need you should have established.  People are looking for solutions, first and foremost, and some people are willing to spend for the same.  They are your target market, and the only way you can convince them that your product or service is what they’re looking for is by establishing a need they can relate to, and providing the solution through a thorough discussion of the benefits your product or service can provide.  Your sales page should be benefits-centric, that is, the enumeration of benefits should manage to take over the sales page at some point and this should serve as the rallying point of your campaign.

3. Offer bonuses.  Who wouldn’t want to get more than what they will pay for, right?  Bonuses are effective tools because they increase the perceived value of your products or services.  Some internet marketers even attach a multitude of bonuses on their offers.  Aside from giving more value to the package, it also imparts a very important quality that many online businessmen would like to be known for: over-delivery.  

4. Urgency marketing.  Urgency marketing is a relatively novel sales technique that employs time-sensitive offers.  Onetime offers, special offers and the likes are examples of this tactic.  You may offer a hundred bonuses on the condition that your readers will purchase your offer within a specific period of time.  Or, instead of using bonuses, you can offer a fantastic discount available during the same span of time.  This is a great technique, as it creates a sense of panic among your prospects, making them WANT to buy what you have to offer at the soonest possible time, least they miss out on an amazing opportunity.

5. Offer a money back guarantee.  Offering a refund policy is the ultimate risk reversal technique.  It will make your prospects feel secure, and it can prove to be that final push that will compel them to make a purchase.  A lot of internet marketers are afraid of offering a refund policy because they do not want to assume the risks.  But refunds provide more benefits than disadvantages.  Statistics show that a great majority of your customers will not opt for a refund because of what they feel is a rather complicated process involved.  Refunds are just choices.  People rarely exercise them.

Sales pages are, ultimately, about how well they’ll be able to convert.  And a profitable conversion rate can be attained by utilizing the techniques we have discussed above, and more importantly, through continuous testing to determine how efficiently each component of your sales page is performing.  Copywriters share this one motto: test, test, test.  Never stop testing, and adjusting if necessary, until you reach a substantially beneficial conversion rate.

Copy Writing Crash Course - Part 2

Modeling And Learning If we are to be witty about it, learning copy writing is not only about the “writing.”  A good part of it is also about the “copy.”  By “copy,” I mean the act of imitating or mimicking something that is already in existence. No, I don’t mean that you should become a fraud and steal ideas left and right. Performance Marketing Agency What I want to say is that you should take time to study excellent sales copies, learn the methods that are used, and develop your own style by patterning your thought processes in accordance with the ideas behind proven sales letters. This is what copywriters have labeled as modeling.  And it is not something that is limited to novices to the craft.  Even veteran copywriters practice the same.  The importance of modeling cannot be undermined.  Modeling can help anyone upgrade their skills.
