As a budding copywriter I'll definitely keep in mind. However, the 'proven scientifically ' part did make me cringe, as it probably would any intelligent reader (okay, I do have a strong academic background). Sure, it's a marketing technique - to sell your concept/idea/whatever based on it's 'scientific validity', but I reckon it's much better if you actually cite studies. Less insulting (: Lovely article, and the illustration with the lemon was brilliantly executed. As a budding copywriter I’ll definitely keep in mind.

It really teaches us that the visual part of copywriting is probably the most important part. This is the most interesting article I’ve found untill now.

This should be required reading for anyone aspiring to be a copywriter. Right here is the secret to high conversions. Techniques are fine--like a strong headline, bulleted benefits, and so on--but creating vivid pictures is the real secret to sales pulling power. I believe that using this technique alone made someone like Bruce Barton an advertising giant. Another great article! This should be required reading for anyone aspiring to be a copywriter.

I very much agree with the points you are making in this article. A lot of people will probably read it, nod their heads as they roll their eyes and spout out "Yah, sure!" ... ... but how many people actually do what you are talking about? Precious few! Those that do, though, are rewarded by much higher response rates and far greater profits. No matter how educated, sophisticated or conceptually oriented a person is, at the heart of it all they are still very much relying on their five senses day by day, hour by hour and minute by minute!
