Killer Business Headline Templates - So How Do You Write Killer Headlines in Minutes? You Cheat!
According to Branding and Advertising legend, David Ogilvy: 5 times as many people read the headline than they do the body copy in a sales message. This means that unless your headline actually helps sell what you've got to offer, you'll have wasted 90% of your time, money and energy. Now, you don't need me to tell you 90% waste isn't lean! So here are some quick and dirty headline templates that will turbocharge the power of your business cards, websites, sales letter, press releases and spoken presentations! But before we begin - just a few tips to bear in mind... 1. Experience Shows That Simply Surrounding Your Headline With " " (quotes) can increase readership by up to 27%. Why? Because when you put it in quotes, people think something important is being said. 2. Use Title Case. ALL CAPS doesn't get more attention - it's just harder to read. Sentence case lacks importance so avoid that one too. 3. Tell The Truth. It's very easy to get carried away writing sensational headlines but make sure you can back up the promise with real results. 4. A Logo Isn't A Headline. Your logo, snazzy graphics, special effects or even photographs should never take precedence over a good headline. Even if you love your logo - the people who you want to sell to probably couldn't care less. 5. Test, Test, Test! If a mailing fails to get a response, or people just aren't responding to the messages on your website it is almost 9 times out of 10 down to a poor headline that someone thought would work, but didn't check. For a new product/offering, we'll write several headlines and spend 80 percent of the total writing time perfecting them. Then we'll do an equally split test mailing to find a winning headline. Right on to the sneaky templates...
