He said:
“The key to writing great copy… is empathy. It’s having a heartfelt understanding, appreciation, and need to help fulfill a problem.”
The key is empathy.
It goes deeper than just knowing who your readers are.
It’s being able to think what they’re thinking and feel what they’re feeling when they encounter a certain problem or dilemma.
As the copywriter given the task to write the promotional piece, advert, email blast, or any other content, it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to help your reader by offering a solution to what they need or want.
Empathy could well be the core of writing content or copy.
Without knowing what your readers need and want, what good is the output you’re writing? What good is the role of copywriting in marketing?
In marketing and advertising, our customers are number one on the list.
One of the first steps before creating any campaign or publication is knowing your target market deeply, going beyond just their demographic information.
Based on their psychographic and behavioral background, you need to effectively show and offer them the solution they’ve been searching for…
Your product or service.
According to Jay Abraham, we need to understand, appreciate, and help our readers fulfill a problem.
By doing so, marketers can effectively get their message across using content or copy.
This advice comes from a trusted, top-paid, marketing consultant. Through his seminars, books, and consulting, he has helped thousands of businesses generate billions in additional revenue.
How is that not enough proof that empathy is one highly effective and extremely useful key to writing great copy?
Frankly, it should be a rule!
