What COPYWRITERS Can LEARN From DAVID OGILVY

They say marketing is changing fast. I would argue it doesn’t. Nothing significant ever really changes. I decided to make a video about David Ogilvy, the “father of advertising,” to show how his marketing advice is still relevant, 60 years after.

    Lesson 1: Do your homework (2:20) There is no substitute for homework. The more you know about a product, the more likely you are to come up with a big idea for selling it. Lesson 2: Focus on benefits (3:22) Advertising which promises no benefit to the consumer doesn't sell, yet the majority of campaigns contain no promise whatsoever. Lesson 3: Write compelling headlines (4:21) Your headline should promise a benefit, or deliver news, or offer a service, or tell a significant story, or recongize a problem, or quote a satistied customer. Lesson 4: Write lenghty and informative copy (4:54) Long copy sells more than short copy, particularly when asking the reader to spend a lot of money. Only amateurs use short copy. Lesson 5: Grab attention in your introductory paragraph (5:48) If you want your long copy to be read, you had better write it well. In partocular, your first paragraph should be a grabber. You won't hold many readers if you begin with a mushy statement of the obvious like this one in an ad for a vacation resort: 'Going on vacation is a pleasure to which everyone looks forward'. Lesson 6: Play it straight (6:40) Some copywriters, assuming that the reader will find the product as boring as they do, try to inveigle him into their ads with pictures of babies, beagles and bosoms. A mistake. A buyer of flexible pipe for offshore oil rigs is more interested in pipe than anything else in the world. So play it straight. Lesson 7: Be specific (7:33) Good ad: all facts, no adjectives, specific. Lesson 8: Do voice of the customer research (8:32) If you're trying to persuade people to do something, or buy something, it seems to me you should use their language.
