Marketing - Why It’s Important to Have Clarity in Your Copy

Stay Hungry - Marketing Podcast

For this episode, Andy talks about creating content that gets to the point. People haven't got time to faff around, so clarity matters. Andy explains how to become expert at creating clear and concise copy that still engages and generates sales.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The world of marketing is full of fluff and consumers are sick of it.
• Theories, guru speak, jargon and wordiness are all examples of fluff.
• Proper images tell a story. Stop using stock photos, they look awful and don´t quite fit what you need to say.
• Post content consistently.
• Using too many adverbs, adjectives and superlatives is counterproductive. It puts people off.
• Know your audience. If they like emojis or slang, include some.
• Don´t bang on about yourself all of the time.

BEST MOMENTS
