What’s The Difference In Email – Copywriters?

Author: Charlie Cook   |   February 21st, 2008

“I have been reading your newsletter and very impressed with the knowledge you have about marketing. Your letters grab attention as well as provide substance.

My question is about email sales letter. How important is the writing of that sales letter? I’m surprised to see the big price range for copywriters. Is it true that one writer can have 50 percent more value over others, when they basically talk about the same thing? If there is indeed that much of difference, how would one tell, the good from the bad, the super good from the ordinary ones?” – Felicia

What’s the difference between good marketing copy and copy that kills sales?

A good copywriter can use the right words to grab your prospects’ attention and give them enough substance to keep them reading. Whether it’s your web page, a sales brochure or your email, you want the marketing copy to work to capture your prospects’ interest, engage their imaginations and get them thinking about how much better off they’d be with the solution you offer.

Most marketing copy is so boring prospects won’t read it and you don’t keep their attention and you lose the sale. Good copywriters can charge more, a lot more because their copy can generate 2 to 10 as many sales.

How should you pick a marketing copywriter to help you grow your business?

Find one who can give you proof! Any good copywriter should have examples of sales letters or emails he or she has written and testimonials from clients who can back up his or her claims.

If it’s results you want, don’t hire anyone who can’t demonstrate that they can help you get the business results you’re after.

Poor copy will not only not get any results but will turn off your prospects and can kill potential future sales.

Good copy can send your sales through the roof. I have one client who happily pays her copywriter $500 to write their weekly email because the cost is a pittance relative to all the sales it generates.
