Breaking Free from the Cringe: A Lesson in Selling with Style
Imagine this: You've hooked your reader, they've clicked the link, and they're ready to delve into the magic your website promises. But instead, what greets them is an onslaught of cringeworthy phrases and misguided pop references that send them scrambling for their second lunch break. The immediate eye-roll – a fate we're determined to spare your potential clients. So, let's dive into the playbook of copywriting prowess, shall we?
1. Slang, But Not So Seriously
Slang is a double-edged sword – it can add a touch of relatability or instantly alienate your audience. The key is to employ it ironically and judiciously, transforming it into a tool that amuses rather than annoys.
Rather Than: "No cap, our designers will get a first mock-up to you same day."
Try: "Our designers will get a first mock-up to you the same day… fr fr."
2. Positivity with Tastefulness
Positivity is a copywriter's ally, but weaving it with tastefulness ensures your message doesn't veer into the realm of eye-rolling. Think Beyoncé, not Kardashian.
Rather Than: "Our designers will get a first mock-up to you quicker than a Kardashian marriage."
Try: "Our designers will get a first mock-up to you faster than Beyoncé's Renaissance tour dates sold out."
3. Stay on the Project Path
Keep your copy focused on the project at hand. Avoid meandering into territories that might have your audience raising an eyebrow.
Rather Than: "Our designers will get a first mock-up to you faster than a cat moves in heat."
Try: "Our designers will get a first mock-up to you quicker than you can say 'so…when can we expect…?'."
