Be Creative When Writing Your Offline Ad

You always want to tell a story when writing an ad or developing a marketing piece. Draw your prospect in by talking about experiencing something that is either going to provide them pleasure or hit a pain point. Get your prospect emotionally involved in your marketing piece so that they can visualize what you are describing. Factor in the prospects tastes, likes and dislikes and be creative!

Understanding and knowing your target audience is truly the key to the ‘million dollar skill’ we call copy writing. The better job you do at creating your marketing message, the more successful you will be. If this isn’t one of your strengths, then I recommend that you invest in hiring a good copywriter.
