Copywriting

What is Copywriting?

Copywriting is the process of writing persuasive marketing and promotional materials that motivate people to take some form of action, such as make a purchase, click on a link, donate to a cause, or schedule a consultation.

These materials can include written promotions that are published in print or online. They can also include materials that are spoken, like scripts used for videos or commercials.

The text in all these materials is known as “copy,” hence the name “copywriting.”

You may not be aware of it, but copywriting is everywhere.

In fact, if you just start with your mailbox, you’ll find some obvious examples of copywriting. Promotions for local restaurants, catalogs, fundraising letters from charitable organizations, or sales letters for various products and services are all types of copywriting.

Why is Copywriting important?

Copywriting, or to be more specific, well-written copywriting, is essential because it drives profitability, earns a return on investment, and achieves your business goals by convincing your target audience that your product will solve their need and bring them value.

The majority of people know what copywriting is or how it is used, but it is very common to undervalue how much of an impact it has on business success.

Too many businesses don’t consider the importance of good copywriting, because they don’t realize that quality text is a powerful selling tool. It can turn strangers and visitors into paying customers, and then nurture those into loyal advocates of one’s brand.
