- Word combinations

Interest: Once you get their attention you need to cultivate interest
- Connect the opening line to the headline; get to the point of the headline immediately
- Use short sentences, and punchy words
- Don’t lead with numbers; the decision comes from the heart
- Don’t talk about special offers or discounts at this point
Desire: Create
excitement by appealing to the senses
- List a benefit for every feature
- Use clear and concise language
- Build mental images
- Establish the credibility of your claims
Action:
- Be convincing without being pushy
- Call to action -- Be clear about the step to take
