Another interesting piece from the Makepeace Total Package people. Today Michael Masterson delves into an example of persuasion in advertising. It's a definite art copywriters must master but most of us stumble because we are focused on our own needs - versus addressing what our readers will gain.
One of the big questions I keep in mind when writing is the "What's in it for me?" - everyone is asking this as they're reading sales promotions. Some of us do it consciously while other do it unconsciously. Either way that question is prominent.
