How to Write Ad Copy That Gets Readers to Respond Emotionally

How to Write Ad Copy That Gets Readers to Respond Emotionally | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

As you can probably imagine, text ads appeal more strongly to the logos-oriented hemisphere of our brains. However, as we know, addressing only the rational side of an argument is never going to entirely convince someone.


You need the emotional as much as the rational — most times even more so.


Display ads, for this reason, tend to be more successful than text ads because they are more engaging to the user. They also are great for disruption — grabbing the user’s attention as he or she passively scrolls down the newsfeed.

The list of every copywriting formula ever

The list of every copywriting formula ever | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Here’s what I learned: There are WAY too many copywriting formulas.


The problem, as you’ll see if you click the link, is there are a ton of formulas for crafting good copy. Pretty much anybody who was a good enough copywriter to be successful was also a good enough to make money teaching it. And of course, they all claimed to be teaching something different. In keeping with the unwritten laws of branding, every copywriter has a system and every system has its own unpronounceable acronym.


What’s really striking to me isn’t the sheer volume of copywriting formulas, however. It’s how they’re all exactly the same. It’s particularly obvious when you see them all laid out against one another like this.


So at the risk of adding my own acronym to the pile, let me save you a lot of reading and summarize....

Long Copy Ads Aren't Dead: Here Are 20 Inspirational Examples

Long Copy Ads Aren't Dead: Here Are 20 Inspirational Examples | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
Even online, long copy has proven its effectiveness. Groove's founder Alex Turnball grew conversions by 100% when he tested a long-form landing page, and CrazyEgg saw conversion rates improve by 30% when it tested a long copy landing page. 

With long copy, a brand can increase trust, break down the viewer's objections, and provide her with a better understanding of the product or solution. It gives your brand a chance to tell a more complete story, and in the process, more thoroughly convince the person that your brand is the best brand. 

The main objective is to maximize the impact of every word and phrase. People do not read bad copy, irrelevant copy, and plain boring copy.

Check out the below examples of long copy to become a more prolific copywriter
