How to Write Compelling Copy for Health Products

by admin on December 7, 2011

Whatever products you are selling if you don’t have a compelling copy that entices buyers, chances are your product will not get noticed. In a world where every which way you look you see competition just waiting for the chance to pounce, there is no room for you as seller to slack off in the advertising department. If you think that health products are not going to have as much competition as food, cars or houses, think again. More and more companies are inventing and manufacturing health products these days which give consumers more options.

So how do you write a compelling copy? It starts with identifying your target market. Who is expected to buy your product? You can profile your demographic based on attributes like age, gender, occupation, income, ethnicity, etc. For example, an ad for houses targets professionals who have big money to spend for mortgage. Placing the ad on a teen’s website will not be as effective as placing it on forums about real estate. Knowing your target market allows you to research and study the different persuasion techniques used for that certain demographic.

A compelling copy should stand out from a sea of copies. You can achieve this by making your headline unique and interesting by including the best benefit your product can offer. If you save that important detail for your conclusion, some readers might miss it because they were already bored with the introduction.

For health products, it is crucial to be as honest and clear as possible. Do not leave out any detail because it may put your buyer at medical risk. For example for diet pills such as Xenadrine, it is important to include in your copy the list of active ingredients found in the pill and to explain how it helps to lose weight. Many injuries caused by side effects of medication are because of neglect in consulting their doctor about possible risks in combining different drugs.

For a compelling copy to work, it must end with a call to action to elicit a response from the reader. A good closing seals the deal and earns you a buyer. Write in an active voice where the subject of your sentence is performing an action. Also create a sense of urgency to persuade your customer to act immediately. For example, an ad for diet pills will encourage the reader to lose weight now.
