Audience Comprehension

 
Write in a way your audience can understand. This means avoiding complex words, too many acronyms, and run-on sentences. Knowing your audience will help. Look into past and current customers, and any comments on your website. You can also look into your followers on social media. When you have an idea of who your audience is, write to them. It is also important to write in the present tense and pay attention to your grammar.

Break your copy up into short paragraphs. This helps your audience scan your post to understand what they will be reading. It also stops them from getting lost in your text. Visitors are less likely to want to read one large paragraph. Breaking your paragraphs into many smaller ones will help with comprehension.

Remember to Tell a Story

 
No matter what you are writing about, your website copywriting should tell a story. In certain situations, you want your story short and sweet. For example, when writing the copy for your products, services and about your company. When writing cornerstone blog posts, you want your story to be lengthy. The key is to be able to tell a story, no matter the length of the copy. This will keep your audience engaged and interested in your content.

Telling a story allows your audience to relate to your content. Stories also tend to be more humanized and interesting than bland copy. Stories can also still be professional.

 

Keep a Cohesive Tone

 
Remember to write all your content in a tone that matches your brand. You may be writing in a convincing or informative tone, but it should always match the tone of your brand. The tone should also be appealing to your audience.

The tone is more important than you may think. It sets the feeling of your entire website. If a visitor senses many tones, it will confuse them. They won’t know what you’re trying to get them to do. If the goal of your website is to inform people, then your tone should be informative. If you are trying to get visitors to buy your products or services, then write in a convincing tone.
