Copywriting Secrets 2

3. The Offer
This is the second most important part of the sales letter after the headline.
Elements of Effective Offers
· Open with a “reason why” you’re making the offer. E.g.; “because I want to give back to the community”, “because I’ve been through what you are feeling right now”, etc.
· Vividly show the value of each element of your offer. Use images.
· Reveal the price but show how it pales in comparison to the overall value you are receiving. Don’t overdo it
· Pile on bonuses so the offer becomes truly irresistible.
o Bonuses doesn’t have to be related, just desirable. In fact, if you throw in an extremely related bonus, they might start to think negatively and think about the other related things that are you may have left out of your product.
· Discuss the payment terms (i.e. split-pay, free-trial, etc.) if applicable
· Make your prospect feel almost stupid if they don’t take your offer.
