From billboards to hashtags, the sole purpose of all marketing is to persuade people to take the actions you want. One of the most effective ways to do that is through the written word. It’s worked for thousands of years and that isn’t changing anytime soon.
But, there’s one important caveat: the copy (written word) must be good. It must be easy to read and comprehend. There can’t be too much jargon or wordiness. It needs to draw the reader in and then get to the point quickly.
This is especially true today. People have so much content to consume that they often barely taste it much less digest it. Words come and go. They read something and then move on to the next shiny piece of content that grabs their attention.
