8 Ways Copywriting Can Improve Your Brand's Communication
Add Depth to Your Brand
Building healthy relationships with your clients is essential to great branding. Generally, you can evaluate the success of your branding by putting your finger on the pulse of said relationships.
So, let me ask you a question—when is the last time you were in a healthy relationship that was based entirely on superficial elements?
If you say college, I won’t question you, but I think most of can acknowledge that a little depth goes a long way in a relationship.
The more you get to know someone and appreciate who they truly are, the more complexity, depth, and meaning the relationship gains.
The same is true of your branding. Ensuring that there is something beneath the branding, tag lines, and advertising is essential, as modern consumers crave companies that go beyond these superficial marketing tactics.
Copywriting gives you a chance to communicate exactly what your business is about. What do you care about as an organization? Who are the personalities driving the company forward? How are you different than another business offering the same goods and services?
Pulling the veil back on the inner workings to give clients and customers a genuine look inside is a key goal of copywriting—one that can increase brand loyalty and create long-term business-client relationships.
Shares a Little Human Touch
Faceless businesses are not appealing (despite the faceless marketing trends we’re seeing).
We’re not even talking about the stick-it-to-the-man attitude—businesses of all sizes can struggle to shed the sterile business persona in favor of more human warmth.
Copywriting helps you connect with your audience on a human level, giving your brand personality and vitality that is difficult to achieve otherwise.
By presenting your human side to the world—and your targeted audience, in particular—you can establish the image you want to portray—one that differentiates you from the cold, personality-lacking businesses of the past.
Becoming a more human company doesn’t just attract consumers; it also makes people more likely to engage with you.
This initial impression and subsequent contact give you the opportunity you need to connect on a deeper level and form a relationship that will benefit you both.
Speaks Directly to Your People
You’ve probably heard it said that communication is a two-way street. If only one side of the relationship has a voice, it’s not only unhealthy but it can also hardly be considered communication at all.
As a business, you are (or should be) constantly listening to your customers. From direct feedback to analyzing data, you strive to hear from your audience and adapt to their desires and needs. You’ve got that side of communication down to a science.
How can you return the favor and speak back to your clients—an essential step in building a rapport?
One of the best ways is copywriting.
By putting your thoughts, insights, and responses out into the world in the form of engaging content, you can address your audience directly.
Whether you’re responding to a particular concern your customers have voiced, announcing an exciting new internal development, or simply sharing your knowledge and what’s going on in the life of the company, copywriting is your way to participate on that two-way street.
Captures the Attention of Your Audience
Standing out from the crowd is vital in the competitive world of business.
Now, more than ever, differentiating yourself is difficult—everyone is vying for attention in the loudest, most in-your-face ways. We’ve moved from billboards to social media, something static to something active and practically ever-present.
Unfortunately, this bombardment has numbed us. It is hard to get a second glance, let alone actual engagement. People are simply saturated with targeted ads; they tend to scroll past without so much as a pause.
So, how do you convert second glances into captured attention?
The answer is simple, though that does not mean it’s easy—engaging content.
By offering people valuable insights and high-quality content, you can establish your expertise, provide value (typically for free), and introduce your brand in a positive light. All of these factors open the door for brand recognition and future engagement.
In other words, you first capture attention with engaging content, then you have to keep it.
Builds Trust & Relationships
If there is one thing to center your content marketing strategy around, it is compelling content.
Generating content for the sake of content simply doesn’t work. Algorithms have become too advanced, and your audience can tell the difference between quality content and keyword stuffing—trust us, there is too much competition to settle for anything less than the best.
Capturing your target audience’s attention with engaging content is the first step and keeping it with compelling content is the next.
Again, this is easier said than done.
Generating compelling content on a consistent basis is no small feat, but the reward is well worth the effort. So, what is compelling content?
While the answer will vary slightly with your industry and intent, compelling content typically possesses a handful of telltale traits.
It needs to be applicable to your target audience’s interests, provide value to the reader, be well-written, be imbued with your brand’s personality, and preferably have an evergreen quality.
If you can check these boxes, you can maintain strong engagement with your audience and compel them to form a relationship with your brand.
Best of all, compelling content continues to contribute to the lifespan of your company. It’s the gift that keeps giving, both for you and your customers.
Empathize with the Pain Points
Customers crave a mutual understanding of problems.
Whether they’re the customer’s problems and they are turning to you for answers, or they spawn from actual friction between you and your client base, copywriting grants you an avenue through which you can express concern and understanding.
Establishing this middle ground is essential to forming relationships and taking the next steps within that relationship, including pinpointing pain points and providing solutions. In other words, creating a context within which your company-client relationship can be furthered is key to healthy communication and an actionable future.
Share Real Solutions
People turn to experts for solutions. As a business, you must fill the role of an expert within your field or industry.
The best way to do this is to provide value to your audience in the form of useful information and, more importantly, solutions to problems.
You can do this through thoughtful, value-based copy. Whether you are providing possible solutions to problems you have pinpointed or insider insights that address more generalized concerns, the primary goal is to provide value to your audience for free. Yes, really.
Not only does copywriting give you a direct line to your customers and their pain points, but it also works wonders for your brand recognition, reputation, and status as an expert within your industry.
In other words, everyone wins—your audience receives value in the form of knowledge and problem-solving while you garner attention as an authority on topics integral to your business.
Create Consistency
There are few things more frustrating than friends who open your messages and leave them on read. Don’t get me wrong, we’ve all been there—heck, I’ve been guilty of it a few times myself.
People can feel the same way about your brand if you are inconsistent with your content.
Creating and sticking to a regular content schedule creates a sense of reliability that customers crave. Beyond providing consistent value that helps establish your brand and brand voice—both of which are incredibly important—regular content contributes to a library of information, establishes your professionalism, and keeps you relevant.
In today’s fast-paced, highly competitive world, consistency is absolutely essential.
The freshness of your content and your commitment to constantly providing value are key to differentiating your brand from the masses.
Consumers are more discerning than ever, and consistency is one of the primary factors they use to filter through their options.
