Creating a sales letter is a lot like writing a love letter. It takes a fair amount of thought to say just the right thing in just the right way and you’re not always guaranteed that your love will be returned by its reader. So, whether you decide to write it yourself, or pay a professional copywriter to create it, you need to consider what should be in your sales letter to get the best results.
Here are ten things to consider when creating a sales letter:
- Who will be reading your sales letter?
- What problem does your reader have?
- How will your product or service solve that problem?
- What buying objections does your customer have?
- Can you remove those objections in your sales letter?
- Does your headline make your prospect want to read more?
- Are you breaking your copy into chunks?
- Is your sales letter long enough to tell the whole story?
- Do you ask for the sale?
- What guarantee are you offering?
Whether your selling products or starting a membership site, these same elements apply for creating sales letters that speaks directly to your audience, addresses their problem, removes their buying objectives, and asks for the sale.
It’s true that writing sales letters is an art, and each situation is unique, but after reading lots of copywriting books, analyzing tons of existing sales letters, and even writing my own sales letters I can tell you that creating an effective sales letter is so much easier if you keep these things in mind.
