Close More Sales With A Strong P.S.
Category: Copy Writing - sales copy | Date: 2003-05-14 |
While a headline is designed to grab the readers attention, the P.S. is the workhorse of your sales letter that actually closes the sales and puts money in your bank account.
Statistics show that a strong headline is a must to hold the readers attention and propel them to dive into your letter. But once theyve been hooked by your headline, the averages show that most will scroll down to your P.S. and look for a brief, to the point summary of your offer. And with a strong P.S. youre going to entice them to read your sales letter more thoroughly, or youre going to immediately hook them and reel them in based on the power your P.S. contains.
Miss the mark, and youre going to lose money.
Heres my formula for creating hard-hitting P.S. messages that close the sell fast!
First rule; dont mention the price in your P.S. unless youre going to give a complete rundown including bonuses that makes the offer absolutely irresistible. To do this, you have to be confident that the shear mention of your complete offer and price is enough to sell it because once the potential customer knows the price theyre going to make the decision to buy or not.
Second, like writing a headline you want to give them your products biggest benefit. Again, this is used to lure the customer in and make them read more of your sales letter where you can give them specifics.
Third, give them the downside of not ordering. Let them know theres a penalty and consequence of passing, and make it a strong one!
Fourth, break it up into a P.S. and P.P.S. if you need to. Have the first show a potential customer the strong benefit theyll receive, the second showing your downside to not ordering now.
And finally, include an order link in your P.S. so if the customer has the urge they can buy immediately. A potential customer should never have to search for a place to order your product. If you make them, chances are good they wont invest the time.
