If you’re a marketing manager for small or medium-sized businesses, there isn’t necessarily the budget to buy the services of a professional copywriter for every piece of marketing that goes out.
So you have a go yourself, because it can’t be that hard, right?
It’s a mistake, and a costly one, because in an era of instant choice people judge you immediately on how you come across. Your look and your voice are key to whether those judgements are positive or negative.
An uninspired, clichéd and clunky bit of writing will lose you money.
So what’s the solution?
