Writing effectively in advertising requires more than just school-learned skills. Apply these nine tips to make your sales letters, brochures, or web pages more impactful.
1. Choose Strong Verbs
Weak verbs like "is" and "be" merely take up space. Instead of saying, "There is one simple omission that can transform a sentence from boring to brilliant," streamline it to, "One simple omission can transform a sentence from boring to brilliant." Similarly, replace "We will be running" with "We will run."
2. Order for Impact
When listing items, place the longest or most complex item last for a more memorable impact. For example, change "He was always later than Joan, loud and boring" to "He was loud, boring, and always later than Joan."
3. Be Specific
Avoid vague words like "many," "several," or "approximately." Specific details backed by tests or research are more convincing.
4. Correct Modifier Placement
Ensure modifiers apply to the right clause. Avoid errors like, "I collided with a stationary truck coming the other way." Instead, try, "I was coming the other way and collided with a stationary truck."
5. Use Single Verbs
Simplify by using one strong verb instead of two. Instead of "The computer was operating and running smoothly," say, "The computer was running smoothly." Similarly, "He ran out of gas" is better than "He was empty and ran out of gas."
6. Vary Sentence Length
Avoid monotonous, same-length sentences. Mix short and long sentences for a dynamic flow, keeping your writing engaging.
7. Simplify Complex Sentences
Complex information doesn’t require long-winded sentences. Instead of, "Laser beams, which have many properties that distinguish them from ordinary light, result from the emission of energy from atoms in the form of electromagnetic waves," say, "Laser beams have many unique properties. They are produced when atoms emit energy as electromagnetic waves."
8. Be Concise
Use shorter phrases where possible. Swap phrases like "in view of the fact that" with "since" or "because." This is crucial when buying premium ad space.
9. Avoid Redundancy
Redundancy adds clutter. Phrases like "anticipate in advance" or "vital essentials" are unnecessary. Avoid combining synonyms like "thoughts and ideas," unless distinct meanings are intended.
By following these guidelines in your writing, you’ll communicate more clearly and persuasively, maximizing the impact of every word. Remember, there are 26 letters in the English alphabet?"use them wisely.
