Cool Copywriting Tip
Focus on the Gap, not the feature or benefit.
People are naturallay wired to avoid pain. The pain creates a gap between their ideal life to their current life.
Master copywriters close those gaps with a dash of emotion and storytelling. So
- Identify a common pain point (the gap) your product or service solves.
- Showcase how your product bridges that gap and creates a more positive emotional state for the reader.
For example, instead of saying “Our backpack is water-resistant,” you could say “Never stress about a sudden downpour ruining your belongings again. Our water-resistant backpack keeps your gear safe, so you can focus on the adventure.”
This shift in focus taps into emotions and creates a desire to close the gap (problem) you’ve identified.
