When writing sales copy I try and cover three basic points, this approach has worked well for me in the past but I would like to hear from others who are tasked with writing direct sales or response copy how they approach the job and if they have any tips they would like to share.
To start the ball rolling here are the three points which, in my opinion ,need to be addressed in every webpage, blog or hub aimed at selling a product or service.
You need to completely convince the customer that buying your product or using your service is worth much much more to them than the price ticket associated to it. Otherwise there is little motivation or incentive to buy.
You need to convince the customer that your products or services are one the most important investments currently tugging at the strings of their budgetary purse. Otherwise there is no incentive to buy now.
You need to convince the customer that you understand their needs and their goals, that your customer support is second to none, that your guarantee is perfect, that your price is justified. Otherwise there is no incentive to buy from you.
I agree with you points. I used to write letters to collect accounts which is one of the toughest sell. You have to convince the debtor that it is to their advantage to pay.
The important thing is to present your case in terms of what advantage it is to them. Too many letters and other copy is written about the advantage to the writer. It used to be called the "you" attitude.

When you are torn between reading or writing, which do you choose?I'm almost positive I'm not alone in this dilemma. Write or read? You love both, but maybe one just a little more than to other. What do you choose to do?

So many of us deal with the public on a daily basis. We often become like robots with general greetings and gratitudes, like, "how are you today?", or "thank you so much!". Outside of playing respectful and polite, how often do you feel the person is sincere in...

Has the Annual HubPages Writing Competition been replaced with the Editors Choice cash 'Award'?Would a little cash incentive inspire you to write more on HubPages? I am missing the Annual Challenge and also the cash incentive which came with it. Am I am the only one?

Do you write straight into your hub or do you copy and paste from your wordprocessing program?Sometimes my ideas go straight into my hub particularly some of my poems. Other times I use word to play about with the text before I copy and paste into my hub. Just wondered if you use your...
