Human nature. What’s it got to do with your marketing?

Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles hit the nail on the head with their recent marketing campaign. They’ve realised that it’s in our nature to enjoy a good story. They’ve seen it’s natural for us to connect with people rather than faceless brands, and that we’re drawn to those who value the same things as us. So it’s no surprise that their new story-centred, customer focussed campaign is a big hit. They’ve told the real life story of Andy, director of AB Flooring and owner of a VW Transporter vehicle, indispensable to the day to day running of his business.

What would you be more drawn to? An ad explaining all about the features and top quality of a VW Transporter? Or the genuine story of someone just like you, whose life has been made all the easier by his trusty VW?

Storytelling and authenticity are two things we emphasise in our training sessions. You ALL have a story inside you and we help you to tell it in the most effective way. A well-structured website will take your audience through a journey, first engaging them to read on and ultimately inspiring action. Storytelling will turn your website into your top sales person, in a way that is authentic and true to your values. And hey presto! If you’re communicating your values through your web copy, you ‘ll attract your IDEAL clients in a jiffy.

On our upcoming WordPowered Masterclass, you’ll learn how to write authentic, engaging copy that inspires your ideal customers to act (whether that is buying your products, supporting your cause or simply getting in touch).
In October, our Director Andrea trained with a client in New Jersey who was launching a fabulous website that provides educational resources.  After their last session he said that Andrea had ‘blown his mind’ and that he had been on the phone to his colleague for 3 hours discussing all their new ideas and how to put them into action! Could that be you this month?

Join Andrea on the 14th November for the first in the series of a three part online masterclass, where she’ll be sharing her tried and tested techniques for writing engaging web copy. The masterclass is made up of two group sessions where Andrea will set you up with the copywriting skills and insider knowledge you need to write compelling copy. The third session is a one-to-one where you will work together to get to the heart of your message and tell your story.

To bring your online marketing to life, email Alex at hello@purplefeather.co.uk and get in quick for the next WordPowered Masterclass. It’s the last one of the year and they sell out fast, so grab the opportunity with both hands!
