Fun, Messy and Slightly Naughty. The Power of Copywriting.

February, 2012 by  

words are the most powerful drug used by man

When was the last time you seduced someone by giving them a list of benefits and a deadline?
Somehow you know (instinctively?) it wouldn’t work.

Instead, you’d focus on the object of your attention.

Choose your words carefully.
Build intrigue.
A gaze, a smile…

A touch.

But, this is not seduction, you remind yourself.

It’s commercial copywriting.

You scratch down features and benefits.
Perhaps a discount?
A time limited offer?

Unless you’re J. Peterman, of course. Then you’d write;

jPeterman copywriting

Or, if you’re the wizard of words behind Lush Cosmetics;

lush copy

According to the dictionary…
seduction = enticement
Enticement = arousing hope or desire.
Selling = arousing desire.

Coincidence?
