To Invest or Not to Invest
The Copywriting Dilemma

An article by The Write Cure

Does your copy tell your customers what you want them to hear? Are your ads motivating them to take immediate action? Or are you missing business opportunities because you’re too busy to write the materials you need?

With the advent of the Information Age, what we say, and how we say it, are more important than ever. People – as well as search engines – want information. High-ranking sites on search engines are information-based, not sales-based. The right web content – or copy – substantially informs the world of your brand. It drives site traffic and sales.

Persuasive copywriting will put more money in your pocket than any other activity you’ll ever pay for. It is also a very tricky – and challenging – task. But you and your staff know your business better than anyone else, right? To reach website visitors, all you have to do is put it all down on paper. So why contract a professional writing service?

Copywriting is an activity where business, branding, psychology, and communication all come into play. Copywriting, as copywriting legend Eugene Schwartz said, is salesmanship in print. All of you who have tried to force a sentence into submission, who have skimmed through countless dictionaries for the right word or rewritten the same piece until you’re past deadline, know that good business writing is a demanding task.

So what do copywriters know that you might not? Copywriters know how to…

• Target the right audience with the right content
• Optimize your web content for search engine visibility
• Write copy designed to keep you ahead of competitors
• Ensure error-free writing and unique style
• Achieve the above within definite time constraints

The fact is – writing is difficult. Or in the words of author Gene Fowler: “Writing is easy. All you do is sit staring at a blank sheet of paper until drops of blood form on your forehead.”
