5 Tips for Writing Quick-Read Copy

| Click here. Buy now. Free trial offer.
The world of advertising is full of short and snappy copy promising instant gratification. After all, most prospects simply don’t have time to read thoroughly. They skim. They glance. But if you’re betting they’ll wade through long paragraphs of narrative copy, it’s time to adjust your expectations. Your copywriting must be clear, compelling, and to the point.
These days, the best copy is served a-la-carte, allowing readers to sample one message here, taste another message there. Which leads us to the most important rule in writing copy that sells: Make it “digestible.” Rely on headlines, subheads, captions, and bullet points – short snippets of copy with key nuggets of messaging. Long blocks of copy tend to overwhelm readers. They snooze, you lose.

| Blogs / "weblogs" or blogging are the newest gift of Internet technology to people all over the world.

Team Building and Team Caring
| |
| Finish this statement about "when the going gets tough....." and it is often completed with some statement like "everybody goes shopping" or everybody makes margaritas". What's your idea for when it's tough in the world?
So, what happens in the workplace when there is a rough patch? Do employees shop or sip or roll up their sleeves to help each other? In the best of all possible worlds, they help each other. Or they could if they had the right road map.
In Total Leadership Connections, a leadership program that absolutely puts the spotlight on interactions between individuals rather than on just how specific individuals respond, the point is driven home with snippets from the film "Cool Running". This fun film is based on a true story to point out the power of teammates who have weathered tough times and redefined success. |
