Ad copy writing technique - the hook
Posted 26th May 2009 at 06:27 AM by megaresp
A hook is designed to catch a fish and hold it. In copy writing, a hook is designed to catch your reader's attention and hold him/her to the next line. Here are my tips for using the hook in your ad copy...
- Don't overuse the technique. Once per 500 words is plenty
- Use it where it will do the most good (e.g. to get people through technical content)
- If you find yourself using it at the start of your ad, something is wrong. Rewrite the start to be more interesting
