5 Tips to Use Hypnotic Copywriting to Increase Sales

What is Hypnotic Copywriting? It is actually a combination of hypnosis and copywriting.

When most people think of hypnosis, they envision a man with a colorful hat standing in front of an audience. He puts a volunteer into a trance and has them clucking like a chicken or barking like a dog in front of a live audience.

Now, let's suspend our ideas about hypnosis.

Think instead about selling a product. You are a business owner who wants to attract customers to your product. Most people sell through ads or mailings.

This is copywriting. The way that the ad is engineered and laid out plays to certain techniques that will catch the reader's eye. For instance, using bold lettering for statements that you want to stand out from the rest will draw attention from the reader.

But, you don't want to get the reader to just look at your ad. That is the first step. After they've read it, you want them to continue and buy what you are offering to them. That is another feat altogether.

Hypnotic copywriting uses certain techniques to not only get the reader to stop what he is doing and concentrate on your words, but also to do what you say and proceed to the checkout and purchase the item. It sounds like you are being led down the garden path, but keep reading. You'll soon get the picture.

What is your goal with marketing? You use whatever skills you have in your arsenal to entice the customer to buy. Hypnotic copywriting simply allows you to do that more efficiently.

Here's 5 tips on using hypnotic copywriting in marketing:-

1) People who read them start at the top and rarely get to the bottom. Your hook needs to be in the first half of the ad.

2) Online, ads that are placed at the top of the page are more likely to be read than those found at the bottom where the reader has to scroll down to see them. It is a matter of human nature, so use it to your advantage.

3) Another important thing to note is that most people read at an eighth-grade level. Using big words that require a dictionary is not going to keep the reader interested in your copy.

4) A good copywriter using the hypnotic techniques uses easy-to-understand words that will entice the reader to do something at strategic places in the ad copy. Between those words, they are weaving a story to keep the reader glued to the page and open to suggestions from you.

5) Lastly, be sure to state exactly what you want the customer to do. This powerful technique will prove to draw traffic to your business and increase sales.
