Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Persuading a prospective customer to buy your product or service is the key to success in any business. The author maintains that although some people have a knack for writing, anyone can learn to write copy that is effective. With a clear focus on the desired customer and the benefits that customer will obtain, she leads the reader through a wide range of marketing steps geared to persuade on paper. This is really a reference guide to effective written communication, covering such topics as understanding your market, choosing the best language to attract your audience, successful advertising, editing, format, graphic design, and printing tips. Yudkin gives sound, commonsense marketing advice to the entrepreneur seeking answers to important questions on producing effective sales material. People may question her contention that anyone can write copy, but it is hard to argue with the points she makes and the ideas she presents from her own experiences and those of other consultants. This is helpful information for any entrepreneur. Mary Whaley

5.0 out of 5 stars Filled to the brim with practical advice., October 29, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Persuading on Paper: The Complete Guide to Writing Copy that Pulls in Business (Paperback)
I have covered Ms. Yudkin's book with hot pink highlighter! It's crammed full of just what I was looking for: practical, applicable tips for marketing your business. She gives many examples of actual businesses' brochure copy, ad ideas, and sales letter approaches. I have a ton of new methods to try!

5.0 out of 5 stars A 'Must-Have' For Small Businesspeople, December 29, 1999
By 
Judith Harkham Semas (Silicon Valley, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Persuading on Paper: The Complete Guide to Writing Copy that Pulls in Business (Paperback)
As an established freelance writer, I am often asked to coach writers new to freelancing. Most need to learn to see themselves as businesspeople, as well as writers. Toward that end, I always refer them to two of my 'bibles': "This Business of Writing" by Gregg Levoy and "Persuading on Paper" by Marcia Yudkin -- the best book on tight-budget publicity I've ever seen.
