Copywriting Tips: Four Things to Avoid
• Talking to yourself.
– This is the most-common error in corporate communication. The message
boils down to: “do business with us because we are wonderful (or
established or big).” You will make no sales talking to yourself. You must
talk to the people in your audience, discussing issues dear to them.
• Changing your message for the sake of change.
– Everyone likes to be involved in creating something “fresh.” But,
inconsistent messages take longer to deliver results. Inconsistency costs
you money and may cost you customers. Consistency pays.
• Diluting your message
– Burden one piece of communication with everything you can think of, and
it’ll become an unfocused, nattering hubbub, hard to remember and easy to
forget.
• Doing things just to get attention.
– There is a difference between getting someone’s attention and getting
someone’s business. While your marcom materials must command
attention, they must do so in a way that opens the door to making a
profitable sale.
