Why is Copywriting Important?

We see copywriting everywhere and every day of our lives.

It’s on advertising and products. It’s behind the videos you watch and the PodCasts you listen to. It’s in documents, emails, books, pamphlets, white papers and all kinds of content.

Because of this, copywriting can get taken for granted and often underestimated, because there is a difference between writing words, and copywriting.

Words hold a lot of power, especially for businesses today, and even more so in the digital space. Our customers are bombarded and time poor, which means their attention span is limited and precious.

Copywriting is very important, and here’s why.

Why is copywriting important?

Copywriting, or more precisely, well-written copywriting, is essential because it drives profitability, earns a Return On Investment (ROI) and achieves your business’ goals by convincing your target customer that your product offering will solve their need and offer them value.

If you harness strong copywriting, these positive results with lead to commercial success.

How does Copywriting produce these great business benefits?

It’s in the right place when your audience has a need
It catches their precious attention
It keeps them interested through relevancy
It tells them how your brand and products address their pain points
It directs them toward what to do next

But most importantly, it’s written solely with the audience in mind.

Copywriting is important because it drives profitability, earns an ROI and achieves your business’ goals by convincing your target customer that your product offering will solve their need and offer them value.

Why good copywriting is important to your business

Most people know what copywriting is and how it’s used, but it’s unfortunately common to undervalue how much of an impact it has on business success.

Some organisations whip up some general content on their website or marketing materials, and hope that their audience will relate to it, and then when it fails to intrigue their audience, they wonder why.

Think about how your business addresses your need of copy- how do you approach it?

Too many businesses don’t consider the importance of good copywriting, because they don’t realise that quality copy is a powerful selling force. It can turn strangers and vaguely interested readers into paying customers, and then nurture those customers into loyal advocates!

Wait… copywriting is selling?

Definitely! It’s there, 24/7, waiting to offer your potential customer value to get them to take action. Think about it:

Your FAQs provide answers to their questions when they need it
Your blog offers them tonnes of interesting and informative information
Your website content takes them through how you can solve their problems
Your advert copy gives them a quick snapshot
Your video scripts entertain and involve them

And so on.

Your business needs customers…
so your business needs quality copywriting.

Copy is a crucial component of your branding

Branding is a defining characteristic of your business and your products. It’s a unique identity and a consistent personality that appeals to your audience.

However, this differentiation doesn’t just come from the colours, the logo or the layout- it also comes from the copy you craft, the taglines you write, and the tone that you use.

Having a brilliant design is great, but not having brilliant copy to match really lets everything down, and your audience will definitely notice. How often do we see an amazing website, label or advert and then roll our eyes when we read, watch or listen further. Sadly, it’s very common.

Think of your branding as your sales representative: how effective will they be if they’re wearing a quality suit, have well-groomed hair and tidy shoes, only to stutter or mumble? What is your customer going to think when your salesperson can’t speak well and poorly articulates their sales pitch?

An effective salesperson has the complete package: they look good and they communicate clearly. This should be the same as your branding. The copywriting that you use reflects on your branding as much as anything visual, which is why it’s important.

Good copywriting speaks to your audience

As businesses, we all want our audiences to interact with us and make a favourable decision, but they will only do this if we pique their interest and show them how our products make a positive difference in their lives.

The copy that you craft is important because it needs to connect with them on a deeper level and offer them value that inspires action. Anything that doesn’t do this for them has no purpose.

Every business needs great copy- it’s as simple as that!

Every customer reads, listens to and watches content. This means that every business needs quality copywriting- that’s why it’s so important. Don’t take the risk of using mediocre copy and hoping that it will work.

Your customer is spoiled for choice in the marketplace, and you don’t want to miss out. Where your copywriting is lacking, a competitor will be there to take advantage.

Poor copywriting is detrimental to both your audience and your business
