Copywriting Lesson #5 – How to Make an Offer They Can’t Refuse

Now that the reader is intrigued by the product and understands its features and benefits, they’ve seen its quality, and they’ve read positive testimonials from satisfied customers, it’s time to reward their interest with a compelling offer. This offer should be so irresistible that they’d feel a bit foolish for passing it up.

 

 

Before they part with their money, readers will want some reassurance. This means the salesperson needs to put their reputation on the line, giving the reader confidence in their decision. One effective way to do this is by offering a guarantee.

Generally, longer guarantees are more appealing. A 60-day guarantee is better than 30 days, and a 90-day guarantee is even better. A year-long guarantee? That’s even more enticing!

However, it’s crucial that the guarantee is specific. Phrases like “Satisfaction Guaranteed!” are overused and meaningless. Instead, focus on concrete assurances that demonstrate you stand behind your product.

Another effective strategy is to provide exceptional value. This can mean offering significant savings that seem almost too good to be true. For example:

“Right now, you can get $1,000 worth of bonuses for just $197!”

Part of this technique involves comparing options. For instance:

“The seminar costs $5,000, but this home study course not only includes all the seminar material but also the Q&A session. If you buy today, it’s only $697! Plus, you’ll save on travel and accommodation costs, and you can revisit the material as often as you like.”

In this case, you’re highlighting how attending the seminar is expensive and time-consuming, while the home study kit is economical and convenient. Emphasizing that the kit can be used repeatedly adds even more value for the consumer.

It’s important to create a sense of urgency—making the reader feel they’d be missing out if they don’t take action. The benefits, price, and guarantee should present an opportunity that’s hard to pass up. Convenience-focused offers are particularly persuasive. Why wouldn’t someone want the seminar materials readily available instead of dealing with the hassle of attending live?

After all this groundwork, one of the most crucial yet often overlooked elements of a sales letter comes into play: clearly explaining how the reader can get their hands on the product.
