COPY WRITING

I'd like to get my hands on some copy doodles to spice up a DM letter.

Anyone recommend a good set?

Colin

P.S. I've already checked out CopyDoodles.com but not willing to pay $47 a month!

Hi Colin,

One option is simply to do your own, due to the nature of them you don't need any graphic design talent:

But if you're definitely wanting done-for-you, then this WSO is a bargain:

  Haha, I just bought the WSO too. How could you not for $10?
  
  You're a hell of a marketer, Andrew!:p

  The power of "copy doodles" lies in the originality of the work.
  
  In other words, they tire QUICKLY. Because everybody uses them, they've lost their impact. Just another "gimmick."
  
  I ALWAYS create my own, when it's appropriate.
  
  But for $10 bucks, what the hell? Worth a test, isn't it?

  I agree with Andrew Gould, buy yourself a decent graphics tablet and do your own.
  
  Personalized graphics, copy doodles call them what you will, can act if used responsibly and sparingly as excellent connectors within the body of your sales copy to keep the reader interested and reading whatevers to come down below.
  
  Probably more suited to the Internet marketing arena than business copy. But even then, they can still work if you understand exactly how to use them properly. Overkill and the tactic might backfire though.
  
  In the right hands, used sparingly, they can be used to very good effect.
  
  Best,

  Across the pond it is used in all sorts of sales letters (b-b/b-c). The sample below is page 3 advertising a magazine for photographers called Shutterbug:

Another option is to get yourself some handwritten fonts (lots of free fonts are available on the internet but check commercial usage limitations) and make your own type-callout doodles as needed (though that doesn't cover arrows, balloons, etc, where a tablet is needed).

The package for ten bucks is a good deal, if it has what is needed for your projects.
