Small business owners rejoice!

They ought to be utilized ONLY for the attributes that take a small amount of time to leverage.

Old Copywriting Truisms are becoming less and less valid.

We must become increasingly aware of simple distinctions that can make our copy more appealing.

Here’s one such distinction…

You are NOT writing to the market, at large. 

You are NOT writing to the target audience.

You ARE writing to “The REAL Target Audience.”

Here’s what I mean…

As copywriters we all know that to get a 1% response rate is excellent — 2% is extraordinary.
