Fact: Good copywriting is always conversational copywriting.
So, the first test of good copy is: Does it sound like something you’d say to a friend?
Here’s the deal — most people still confuse “professional” with “formal and corporate.”
Truth is, conversational is the new professional. Stiff and stodgy feels as dated as a smooth jazz cover of La Isla Bonita.
Fresh and casual is where it’s at (also in dining concepts — Chipotle is killing it!)
On your sales page, your blog post, your emails, and all over your website, your words should feel like a conversation with the reader. Not like a recorded message you have to sit through when you’re trying to reach customer service. You know, the one that makes you long for the sweet release of death?
So, here’s a tip for fresh, natural, conversational copywriting…
When you’re writing, read it out loud. Does it sound like something you’d say to a friend, or some sh*t only a business robot from the ’90s would say? (“Welcome, and thank you for visiting our website. It is our home on the internet. We are very glad that you are here.”)
