• Putting life into the copy: the wise copywriter is merely a more sophisticated storyteller who holds
the interest of audience with lively and dramatic words and phrases. He/she write for effect hoping
to attract attention not to his/her writing rather to the product or service.
• Use of appropriate tone: the copy writer who has been describing the benefits of a weed killer to the
farmers would be out of place if he/she used the same approach to sell a beauty soap. Indeed, the
copy writer’s orientation needs to change, to adapt the writing atmosphere to the nature of the
product.
• Use of common, familiar, and precise words & expressions: to help readers/listeners get every bit of
meaning and significance from a piece of copy, the skilled writer draws comparisons, uses examples,
or otherwise translates in the readers/listeners frame of reference the words and phrases he/she
writes.
