Turn Words into Wealth
Use professionally-written ad copy to show potential customers that you have what they need. I can provide that ad copy.
How? Well, when creating an ad, I enhance a client’s existing brand message. I shape that message into a pitch that emphasizes the benefits of a product or service.
Better yet, I provide a pitch that contains the client’s voice, not mine. After all, it’s my job to make him or her look good and to generate revenue.
The Writing Process:
Research
The foundation of effective copy is research. That’s why I spend time studying the products that I’m going to promote. Doing so enables me to narrow down the target market and competitors. As a result, I’m able to choose the right product positioning.
Outline
Before writing the ad copy, I create a detailed outline. The outline shows that the copy will meet a client’s needs.
Write
When it’s time to write, I produce a compelling pitch that’s exciting and convincing. My ad copy always gets results. How can I make that claim? It’s simple. I have many years of experience.
Sincerely,
Glenn Bossik

I think that, these days, there’s a fundamental misunderstanding of the role of ad copy in ads.
In the 1960s, the renaissance era of advertising, ad copy was considered essential. It was the source of the sales message, and ad agencies understood that no products could be sold without that message.
Unfortunately, most of today’s ads contain only a headline and a photo or graphic. There’s practically no sales message.
And, of course, companies are running around and asking people, “Why isn’t anyone buying our products?” The answer is simple: Consumers aren’t being given a reason to buy anything. They aren’t being told how any given product will benefit them and solve their problems.

I like to think of social media as a public relations tool. In that respect, it can be very useful. You can use social networks to disseminate press releases and other company news, as well as to chat with prospective customers about what types of new products they would find useful. So, it can be used for market research.
However, I don’t think social media is really an effective direct sales tool. Advertisers might be a bit disappointed if they’re counting on it for sales revenue. Ultimately, social networks are only one tool in a marketer’s arsenal. After all, multichannel marketing involves using more than one medium for sales.
