Pulling Copy Out Of Thin Air

Animating stack of hats

At work I’m part of a small but nimble creative department, as such I tend to wear a lot of hats.

One of the more surprising tasks that I consistently take on is copywriting. Whether it’s writing an email to a client, copy for one of the Creative Services pages on our website, or product descriptions for client projects - I know how to effectively communicate in writing.


Writing copy for Amazon A+ Content

When writing copy, it’s important to think about the context and the intended audience. In the top part of a product listing page it’s effective to have short and concise copy broken apart into digestible bullets for users who are scanning a page. But when it comes to writing for Amazon A+ Content, it’s best practice to write for different levels of engagement. 

For example, I create punchy headlines for designed images that are easy to take in. But if a user has scrolled far enough to reach A+ Content, it’s equally possible that they’re more engaged. For engaged users, there’s an opportunity to paint a much more dynamic picture with words.

Imagine someone trying to dig deeper to find more information in order to make a decision between my client’s product and a competitor product. They’ve read the short bullet points summarizing the product features but they haven’t yet decided to buy.

 What can effective copywriting do?

These are the tactics I use to pull copy out of thin air. 

And by that I mean turning a bare bones list into a paragraph of compelling product copy like I did for the the mop pads below.
