Steal My Copy

I know that one of the biggest challenges you face is writing the words for your websites, brochures, letters, emails etc. Copy writing is a rare skill. So I've come up with the perfect solution.

I am going to write your copy for you!

You might be wondering how I can do this for your specific business. Well, one of the secrets of the great copy writers is that the words and phrases that work, are equally effective across all businesses. Why? Because whatever you are selling, you are trying to influence another human being to take action. The words and phrases you can use to do this are applicable to all of our businesses.

So I want you to steal my copy! You have my permission to take the copy that follows and use exactly as you please. You can use it word for word or adapt it as you see fit. Obviously you'll also need to fill in the blanks for your particular business.

In the months ahead I am going to provide you with copy for: 

Letters , Brochures, Your Website, Emails, Scripts for Telemarketing

The following are some templates that I've created for you. 
Let's be clear - YOU ARE FREE TO STEAL THIS COPY MERCILESSLY! Use what you want. Discard what you don't want. Adapt it as you see fit. Obviously you're going to need to add elements that are specific to your business and tailor make it to your requirements


Letter One
Letter to Customers offering New Product


Dear

As you know, we/I are/am always looking to provide you with the finest/best/most useful/ cost effective solutions for your XYZ.

As a highly valued customer, I wanted to let you know / give you advance notice of a great/ remarkable / very low cost XYZ which I know you will find (describe the benefit)

The XYZ is a remarkable innovation/breakthrough in XYZ 

Or

The XYZ offers you the best XYZ I am aware of to (Benefit: EG reduce your XYZ costs by up to 30% or clean your carpet in half the time it normally takes etc)

The feedback we have had on the (product name) has been remarkable. Despite its low cost (include if appropriate) the XYZ represents a real breakthrough in XYZ or is going to make your life easier/save you money in the following ways.

(At this point in the letter, list 4 or 5 bullet points that explicitly convey the benefits of what you are offering. This is great for the reader. It's also great for you because it forces you to get clear on the main benefits that your product offers. Notice that I am continually using the words 'you' and 'your' because it ensures that the letter is a very personal communication to the person reading it. Here are five example bullet points for a new carpet cleaner:)

  • Your carpets will be 50% cleaner

  • The time it takes to clean your carpets will be reduced by a third

  • You will own the quietest carpet cleaner in the world

  • The exclusive XYZ nozzle means you can reach into hidden corners, reaching the dirt and grime that's usually impossible to remove

  • You will own a cleaner with all the benefits of a thousand pound cleaner - but for half the price

Best of all, as a valued customer I would like to invite you to try out the XYZ for Free! Let me deliver it to you so that you can use it for 30 days and experience for yourself the difference this will make to your life/work. At the end of your Free month, if it's not the greatest XYZ you have ever experienced, I'll come and collect it and you wont pay a penny.

To arrange for your Free trial, please call xxxxx or email me at xxxxxxx and if you have any questions about the xyz, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Yours etc


PS Call me today and your XYZ to try out for Free will be with you within 24 hours. 

(Note on PS: It's generally good to include a 'PS', because the first thing people read when they scan a letter is the opening line and then the PS. So if people may not read all of your letter, the 'PS' gives you a chance to quickly get your main message across. The exception would be letters to customers where you have a very strong relationship - and a 'PS' may not be necessary)

 


Letter Two
Letter to Customers offering a Service

Here we're going to use the example of a dentist - but you can apply these principles and steal my copy for any new service that you want to offer your existing customers

(At this point in the letter, list 4 or 5 bullet points that explicitly convey the benefits of what you are offering. This is great for the reader. It's also great for you because it forces you to get clear on the main benefits that your product offers. Notice that I am continually using the words 'you' and 'your' because it ensures that the letter is a very personal communication to the person reading it. Here are five example bullet points for our teeth whitening system.)

Letter Three
The 'Honest' Approach to getting new Customers/Clients

This upfront approach to getting new customers/clients cuts through the normal sales pitch and gets straight to the point. It can be very effective


Dear

I have a problem.

I want you as a client. I believe that my expertise and experience and my unique approach to XXXXX will make me an invaluable part of your XXX team. To be honest, it troubles me slightly that in my two decades as an expert in my field, I have not been used by a firm as prestigious as yours.

But here's the problem.

As you know, in our profession it is not deemed 'appropriate' for a (Occupation) to overtly sell themselves. So it may be frowned upon for me to write you a long letter, listing my impeccable credentials, my superb track record and my unrelenting focus on making your working life easier.

Yet if I fail to show you how the benefits of us working together, I will have failed in my duty of providing you with outstanding client service and the highest XXX expertise.

So I have a solution to our problem.

I would like to schedule a brief meeting with you at your offices during which time I can ask you some questions to establish your precise needs in the area of XXXX. I would also be interested to hear the biggest challenges you face in this area, as I believe that you will find my commitment to helping you solve some of these problems somewhat refreshing.

If you feel there is a match between your needs and the service that I provide, I hope that this will be the beginning of a long-term relationship. 

Perhaps you could let me know when would be a convenient time to meet. You can contact me at etc etc

I look forward to meeting you..

Yours sincerely

(This letter is so unique and powerful, a 'PS' is not necessary)

There'll be plenty more letters, email, brochure and website copy for you to steal in the months ahead - so stay tuned!
