Hi,

I'm in Budapest and there is a growing startup community. It seems they all are convinced that their copy should be limited to a few sound bites to get people to try them out. For a simple consumer oriented product I would agree - but many are B2B and I find it hard to believe such short copy would work well.

Can anyone give me "ammunition" to convince them that they should include somr real selling?

Thanks,

Imre

    Not much help offered here - and maybe I should jus pack up and head back to the states - Buuut, before I do they reeally need my help here - but they think that they'll jus make something cool and it'll go viral. Having been born in Budapest and having roots going way back, I feel COMPELLED to help'em cause their copy sucks.

    Here's an example of what they used, with a short video more the same:

    "Who is SOPRESO for?
    It is an essential tool for any new generation individual who uses digital presentation techniques which involves strategic engagement and data collection. SOPRESO is superbly innovative in the field of education or sales and enhances the efficiency of communication between presenter and target group."


    Now here's what I wrote and they DID NOT use cause it was long:

    "Who needs SOPRESO interactive presentation software, and why?

    And much, much more. To get a better taste how SOPRESO would work for YOU, or to give it a try, just sign-up with facebook or Linkedin , or drop us your email address: < email address > "

    So... any ideas for me to convince startups here in Hungary that they need better copy? Startups typically have no customers so traditional split testing would be tough to do. PPC and Twitter split testing may be the way to go.

    As I look at my copy I certainly can do better (but for $15 I can't seem to get overly motivated.
