Sell the Emotional WHY
- Invest in the emotional side of copywriting
- Selling the ’emotional why’ from Simon Sinek
- Most of the time we start with the ‘what’ when we’re selling – i.e. a water bottle
- It’s through the emotional brain that we convince people to do what we want
- The WHY sandwich
- Get into the customer’s head on why they want the product
- Next focus on how the product accomplishes the why
- Then what the product is
- Then end with why they want to buy it
Examples
- Digging into the listing
- Skincare product – has a special natural ingredient for healthy skin
- The emotional reason to buy this special skincare product is – they want to look younger and get more attention
- It sounds like it’s egotistic but that’s why people will buy as they want to look good to their friends
Logic vs Emotion

- Just as emotional for men as it is for women

Emotional Trigger Words
- Long version: Finally a clean deodorant that fights bad odours and sweat without causing irritation to your skin
- Would look to shorten this and break it up
