10 Attention Seeking Tips

By: V.K. Rajagopalan

In affiliate marketing, when you are creating a sales letter for an affiliate product, internet visitors first browse through the sales letter. During such browsing, if they come across a items which captures their attention, then they may stop browsing and start reading the sales letter.

A sales letter being a short one is not a solution since long sales letters have a better conversion. You can also explain the benefits and features in an elaborate manner so that a visitor is convinced and gets the "Purchase" mood.

With a long sales letter, you can still arrest the attention of the skimmers. The following are some of the ways that you can profitably employ:

1. First impression is a lasting impression

You have to create a professional looking ad copy. The reader must feel compelled to read your sales letter and he should be drawn like a magnet towards your sales letter. A heading which contains a misspelling can turn off a potential customer. If you are not taking care about details then the person may not be inclined to buy from you. What should your customer expect from your products, or even your support to the product later on?

2. Headlines and Sub-headlines

Use a lot of headlines and sub-headlines to easily catch your visitors' attention. Expand on the benefits and features of your product. Have a sub-headline on each benefit. Your readers may want to read further if they find your headlines and sub-headlines interesting.

3. Graphics and Pictures

Use pictures or graphics that show your product or service in a better light. Also use pictures or graphics to show bonuses. They will make your product noticeable to your website visitors. One Graphic and picture is equal to thousand words, so graphics and pictures also easily attract one's eye and make her take notice and linger on the graphic object.

4. Fast loading of Graphics

It is very important to ensure that your graphics are small in size so that they can load fast and all the links work correctly. People do not like to wait. Nor, will they appreciate if some of the links do not work. Especially if the graphic is at the top of your sales letter, and your whole web site will only be shown after downloading that picture.

5. Short sentences

Short sentences or sentence fragments are preferred to long sentences. It will be easier to read and understand short sentences than long ones. A visitor will have a better retention of a short sentence. A visitor will get dissuaded by very lengthy sentences and may abandon reading it further as he will realise how difficult it is to read your sales letter.

6. Text Font and color

Use italics, bold, color and underlining to highlight important words and phrases. Make sure that you use them sparingly. Too much of them may look like you are frantic and will turn away potential buyers.

Use highlighting near the area where you want to have your visitors read more. You may want them to read the features or benefits of your product.

7. Highlight Product Benefits

Pick the three most trust worthy and notable advantages of your product and repeat them in various parts of your sales letter. At the same time, please ensure that you do not overdo the repeating as it will become monotonous and boring. Such controlled highlighting will help your visitors easily remember these benefits. Use good grammar and rewrite the sentences, so it won't appear that you just copied and pasted them in your ad copy.

8. Bulleted Features List

Liberally use bullets points to list the advantaged and features of your product. Visitors will want to read more if your list is bulleted.

9. Postscript

Use a postscript (P.S. and P.P.S.) at the end. This is some of the most read sections of a sales letter. You may repeat the strong point of your product, remind the bonuses included, or emphasize the urgency for the prospect to take action.

10. Buy Button Placement

With a long sales letter, place buy buttons at different places of the letter. Your prospect may have been convinced to buy early on, so provide them with the opportunity to do so. You should capitalize on the prospect's Buy mood immediately lest he changes his mind later on.

With all the attention capturing phrases and other techniques discussed above, you can really make a visitor take notice of your sales letter and ensure that he reads it long enough to get convinced and there after buy your product.
