Make Words Work For You, may seem redundant—however—there are many ways one can say the same thing. There are a few common writing techniques to get your words to work more effectively for selling you, your product, service or concepts.

Writing is in essence, sales on paper—whether it is a product/service or concept you are selling. It can be a frustrating concept to grasp because writing to sell often times goes against the rules of traditional structured writing—i.e. English Composition. In writing to sell yourself, product/service or concepts, it is best to throw out the rule book and allow creativity to take over.

Even the best writers sometimes get writers block. When you have writers block, consider these tricks, as well, to help you unblock your creativity.

• Use short sentences—Catch the reader’s attention by getting to the point! KISS—Keep It Simply Simple.

• Use bullet points—Bullet point direct your reader to the main points of your presentation. Bullet points also make it quick and easy for the reader to scan.

• Use testimonials—Provide credence for yourself product/service or concepts through good reviews from past clients or consumers. You know the clich?, “If you rave about yourself, it’s an exaggeration. If someone else says it, it’s gospel.”

• Add alliteration—Maintaining the same sound structure helps the reader keep the content committed in their mind. You have probably noticed commercials on TV/Radio repeat the same phrase several times in a 30 or 60 second commercial. (It is best to have a phrase that is easy to say—thus it is easy to remember).

• Write for your audience—Keep your audience in mind, and remember the marketing adage, “Sell the Sizzle, Not the Steak.” Said another way—people buy benefits, not the features.

• Location, Location, Location—You have heard it before, regarding real estate, that is what it is all about. In sales writing, it is benefits, benefits, benefits. While your product/service or concepts may have the brightest and best features, the reader does not buy features. Features create the benefits, however, you need to tell people what benefits they will enjoy with a particular feature. Know the benefits well. Benefits will close the deal every time.

• Remember to state a ‘Call to Action’—Contact us today! Buy Now! In other words tell your reader what you want them to do.

Enjoy writing and write to sell. You will reap the benefits.
