/24-7PressRelease/ -- Studies have shown that the headline is the single most important part of any of marketing, advertising and promotional materials. To increase their effectiveness and entice readers to read on, headlines include several vital elements to engage the reader. There are five keys to writing headlines that not only keep customers engaged, but in the end, intrigued enough to take action.
Lisa Manyon, owner of Write On ~ Creative Writing Services, LLC http://www.LisaManyon.com, shares the five key headline fundamentals to easily implement now for a noticeable increase in short-term sales.
1. Headlines must stand alone (make a statement of their own).
2. Headlines must illustrate an immediate result, solution or benefit.
3. Headlines must pique the interest of the specific target market.
4. Headlines must lead the reader into the content.
5. Headlines must leave the audience wanting more.
Manyon says, "Do you know what people read first -- practically EVERY TIME they read marketing copy? It's the headline. Business owners must not only create interest, they need to know their target market and what motivates them or their readers won't take the next step. In the case of headlines, that's moving on to read your offer and ultimately purchasing your product or service."
Tom Buford of http://www.ChargeWhatYouDeserve.com says, "I worked with Lisa Manyon on a video script I created for a product release. The opening line I wrote would have been a big blunder. Lisa recognized it immediately and put me back on the right path."
