Whether you’re trying to sell a product or service, the way you present your message can have a huge impact on the success of your campaign. That’s why it’s important to have a strong understanding of the various copywriting formulas that are used to craft effective marketing messages.
In this blog post, we’ll explore three of the most popular copywriting formulas and show you how to use them with ChatGPT, a cutting-edge language model that can help you write compelling copy in minutes.
AIDA: Attention, Interest, Desire, Action
The AIDA formula is a four-step process that focuses on getting the reader’s attention, building interest, creating desire, and prompting action. This formula has been around for many years and is widely used in many different forms of advertising and marketing. Let’s take a closer look at each of the four steps:
Attention: Grab the reader’s attention with a headline that is bold, concise, and attention-grabbing. Use strong words and make a bold promise that the reader can’t resist.
Interest: Build interest by providing more detail about the product or service. Use benefits-focused language to highlight the unique features and advantages of the product.
Desire: Create desire by showing the reader how the product or service will make their life better. Use emotional language and paint a picture of the end result the reader will achieve by using the product.
Action: Prompt action by making it easy for the reader to take the next step. Use clear and concise language, and provide a clear call to action that is easy to follow.
Example:
Attention: “Get Rid of Your Back Pain in Just 30 Days with Our Revolutionary New Pillow”
Interest: “Say goodbye to sleepless nights and morning aches and pains with our new ergonomically designed pillow. Made with the latest technology, it provides the perfect amount of support to soothe your back and neck.”
Desire: “Imagine waking up each morning feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, ready to tackle the day. Our pillow has been specifically designed to help you sleep better and feel better.”
Action: “Order now and get a 50% discount on your first pillow. Limited time only!”
Using this formula, you can easily generate copy for your product or service on ChatGPT. We gave it a try using a very simple prompt:
“Please write a Facebook post using the AIDA formula to promote a new revolutionary pillow that is designed to support your back and neck.”
PAS: Problem, Agitate, Solution
The PAS formula focuses on identifying a problem that the reader has, then agitating the problem by highlighting its severity, and finally providing a solution to the problem. This formula is particularly useful for products or services that solve a specific problem for the reader. Let’s take a closer look at each of the three steps:
Problem: Identify the problem that the reader has and make it clear that you understand their situation. Show empathy and make the reader feel heard.
Agitate: Highlight the severity of the problem and how it is impacting the reader’s life. Use strong language and vivid images to paint a picture of the problem.
Solution: Provide a solution to the problem that the reader has. Highlight the benefits of the solution and make it clear how it will solve the problem. Use language that is easy to understand and encourage the reader to take action.
Example:
Problem: “Tired of Struggling with Dry Skin?”
Agitate: “Dry skin can be uncomfortable and embarrassing, leaving you feeling self-conscious and irritable. And with harsh winter weather, it’s only getting worse.”
Solution: “Say goodbye to dry skin with our all-natural moisturising cream. Made with the finest ingredients, it provides long-lasting hydration to leave your skin feeling soft, smooth, and refreshed.”
Here’s an example of a prompt you can use to see how this formula can be applied with ChatGPT:
“Write a promotional email using the PAS formula to convince readers to switch to using a new all-natural moisturising cream made with the finest ingredients'”
USP: Unique Selling Proposition
The USP formula is all about differentiating your product or service from the competition and making it clear why your product is the best choice. The three steps of this formula are:
Identify the Unique Benefit: Highlight the unique features and benefits of your product that make it different from the competition. Make it clear why your product is the best choice for the reader.
Show the Difference: Make it clear how your product is different from the competition. Use facts and statistics to back up your claims, and highlight the benefits that the reader will receive by choosing your product.
Make it Memorable: Make your USP memorable by using simple and concise language, and making sure that it is easy for the reader to understand. Use strong words and bold headlines to make it stand out.
Example:
Identify the Unique Benefit: “Get Cleaner, Brighter Teeth in Just 2 Minutes with Our Revolutionary Toothbrush”
Show the Difference: “Say goodbye to time-consuming brushing sessions and hello to brighter, healthier teeth. Our toothbrush uses the latest technology to clean your teeth in just 2 minutes, leaving you with a brighter smile and fresher breath.”
Make it Memorable: “Brighter Teeth in 2 Minutes. Only with Our Revolutionary Toothbrush.”
For this formula, we tried the prompt below with ChatGPT:
“Use the USP formula to write an advertisement for a new toothbrush that gives you cleaner, brighter teeth in just 2 minutes, highlighting its unique benefits and differences from competitors.”
In summary, these three formulas are crucial elements for any copywriting professional, and by using ChatGPT you can easily craft copy that meets your needs and motivates your reader to take action. Regardless of whether you’re composing a sales letter, an email or a blog post, utilising these formulas will guarantee that your copywriting is effective and achieves the desired outcomes. Bear in mind to communicate in simple language, prioritise the reader’s needs and make it effortless for them to act. Good luck with your writing endeavours!
