A copywriter or editor is skilled in using words to communicate your message effectively.

A formal letter could be sent to a customer that hasn’t settled their account or to a tenant who isn’t paying their rent. It could be a marketing mailing. It could be a request for a grant or an appeal to the bank to increase you overdraft. You can always achieve the desired outcome with whatever you are writing. A copywriter/editor can take what you have written and transform it into a powerful message.

They can give your communications professional flair, which will help increase your company’s credibility.

Public perception of your company is influenced by marketing materials, including mailings, ads, brochures and professional emails. It can affect how your customers, suppliers and clients perceive your company if your text is poor quality. You don’t want your business to seem like a kid with a lemonade booth. You want your business taken seriously. You don’t have to be formal. If you’re looking for a copywriter or editor who can mix professionalism and informality, this is possible.

It is important to avoid sending out written communications with typos, grammar or punctuation errors.

A lot of people believe it isn’t important if there are a few errors, but this is false. Even though you may be an expert on a certain market, you will still be judged by how well you communicate. It’s true, though it seems unfair. I remember years ago going through piles and piles of applications for jobs at the company where my job was. One of our CVs had a typo at its top. Needless to mention, I did not interview the applicant. My opinion was that someone who doesn’t notice the spelling of their own name on a job applicant is unlikely to be meticulous about their work. Maybe I was wrong. She might have been a skilled worker. She lost her chance because of the typo. This can be prevented by a proofreader and editor.

Good news: You don’t have hire your own copywriter. You can find many freelancers that will help you when and where you need it. You will enjoy all the benefits for a very low price.
