TOP TEN RULES OF WEBSITE COPYWRITING (GERRY MCGOVERN)

-





These are ten copywriting rules from Gerry McGovern ( www.gerrymcgovern.com ). As you read through these, think about whether these rules apply for other media and also whether your organization achieves them on your web site.

1-    Be honest. Paper never refused ink. Web sites never refused hype. If you can ’t deliver within twenty-four hours, then don ’t promise to.

2-    Be simple, clear and precise. Time is the scarcest resource, so never use five sentences when one will do. Avoid jargon. People are confused enough today.

3-    State your offer clearly . What exactly is it that you sell?

4-    Tell them about your products ’ limitations .

5-    Have a clear call to action. If they like what you have to offer how do they go about buying it?

6-    Tell them quickly if they ’re not a customer you can supply. There ’s nothing I find more frustrating than finding out at the last moment that they can ’t deliver.

7-    Edit! Edit! Edit ! There has never been an article that cannot be made shorter.

8-    Give them detail. If they feel like finding out more about a particular product feature, then give them that opportunity. (That ’s what hypertext is for!).

E-MARKETING INSIGHT

9-    Write for the web. Avoid the customer having to download Word documents, Powerpoints or PDFs unless offered as an alternative for convenience. (Note that Google and other search engines do now index these documents.)

10-                Leave it at nine! If you want to create a ‘Ten Rules ’ but can only find nine, leave it at nine.

Tweet Benefits of SMS Marketing for Small Business Compared to other forms of advertising, SMS marketing provides the lowest cost and highest return rate that is crucial in today’s shrinking economy and budgets. Most have cut back on traditional marketing due to costs. But that just drives down your sales. SMS marketing scales with your campaign and sales growth making the ROI higher the larger you grow, not the other way around. SMS marketing is also permission based. The customer has given you permission to contact them through our SMS platform. Customers that opt-in to receive information are most likely to buy over someone who receives a direct mail piece, reads your ad in the newspaper or hears your ad on the radio. Other main advantages of SMS marketing over traditional advertising: Cost:   The larger your campaign gets, the lower the costs become on a per customer basis. Reach: Your customer’s always have their mobile phone with them. No matter where

SETUP AND CREATE YOUR BUSINESS MARKETING BLOG

Tweet Web logs or ‘ blogs ’ are best known as an easy method of publishing personal web pages which are online journals or diaries. But the power of business blogs, which are created by people within an organization, is often underestimated. Business blogs can be created by individuals, but they are often best with features from different columnists on different types of topics. This way, different columnists can specialize on different features or viewpoints just as for a magazine. If you think this way, they are a means of making an e-newsletter more interactive and more topical. Blogging software is incredibly good value, with many free tools. The following options can be considered when setup your blog: 1-         Moderation : Either open or closed to comments, with or without a moderator. Star rating of posts is a good option. 2-        Frequency : Five to twenty posts per month would be typical for a company site unless posted in multiple categories for a new sit
