Course Description
Unlocking the Power of Persuasion: Sales, Marketing & Advertising Writing
Imagine this: You're on the phone, weaving a verbal tapestry of persuasion that leaves your prospective client spellbound. Every word, every pause, every inflection is calculated perfection. The climax is near; you're about to secure a deal when suddenly, the narrative shifts. "Send me something in writing," they say, and the call ends.
The truth is, in the digital age, where everything is a click away, the written word holds an unparalleled influence. Whether it's a concise tagline on an Instagram ad or a meticulously crafted product brochure, how you communicate in writing can either make or break the deal. Welcome to the world of Sales, Marketing & Advertising Writing.
The Power of the Pen in Business:
This course underscores a pivotal concept: the potency of the written word in driving sales. From a catchy slogan on a billboard to a comprehensive product catalog detailing every feature, the written word is a silent salesman, tirelessly working around the clock. Deployed effectively, it can be the most invaluable asset to a company, raking in exponential revenue. Conversely, a misplaced word, an unclear message, or a lack of written communication can result in monumental losses.
Consider this - a well-articulated resume is, in essence, an advertisement of oneself. It's a marketing document designed to sell the most crucial product: you. This highlights that the principles of sales, marketing, and advertising writing are not just confined to the business sphere but resonate in our daily lives.
Interdependence of Sales, Marketing & Advertising:
While they might seem like distinct disciplines, Sales, Marketing, and Advertising are intricately interwoven. Each has its unique role, but their collective success hinges on their synergy.
-
Marketing: This is where it all begins. However, without effectively written marketing content, a brand might find itself directing efforts to the wrong audience or conveying the right message incorrectly. For instance, imagine marketing a cutting-edge tech gadget to seniors with complex jargon instead of emphasizing its simplicity and user-friendliness.
-
Advertising: A well-crafted advertisement can spark interest, curiosity, and desire. However, ineffective ad copy can either render the product invisible in the crowded marketplace or, even worse, portray it undesirably. Think of the difference between an ad headline that reads, "Shoes for Sale" versus "Step into Your Next Adventure."
-
Sales: Even the most persuasive salesperson relies on well-curated written materials to seal the deal. From emails to brochures, the written content reinforces verbal promises, giving tangible form to abstract pitches.
Course Structure: Navigating the Nexus of Persuasion:
Emulating the natural progression of a product or service from marketing to sales, this course will guide you through the intricacies of each discipline:
- Marketing Writing: We'll dissect and understand its role, exploring how to craft content that resonates with the target audience.
- Advertising Copy: Dive into the art of creating compelling ad narratives that captivate and convert.
- Sales Materials: Master the creation of persuasive sales collateral that complements the spoken pitch, enhancing the likelihood of conversion.
Equipped with practical examples, proven strategies, and diverse formats, this course is designed to hone your prowess in business writing.
In conclusion, mastering the triad of Sales, Marketing, and Advertising writing not only makes you an indispensable asset to any organization but also empowers you to elevate your own ventures. Join us and harness the power of words to chart unparalleled success in the business realm.

Student Testimonials
- "I thought this course was very helpful. I had just taken a marketing class at college and took this course for reinforcement. I actually learned what to put in a brochure and advertisement, as well as radio and tv. I did not know these things before this class." -- Julie K.
- "Very much enjoyed the experience of both the course and the instructor. It made me want to learn more about the topic, which I've begun to do with marketing books and articles. The resources at the end are very helpful. It's a topic which is vast and changing every day with new technology." -- Kenna M.
- "This was such a great class. It was thorough. I highly recommend this for any marketing professional. I feel so blessed to have taken this awesome course." -- Cynthia B.

- "All of the course was most helpful to me because of what I do. The instructor was great! I don't recall ever a time I had a question and she wasn't there." -- Quanda G.
- "Really enjoyed working with the instructor." -- Maurice K.
- "Marketing Writing and low cost strategies is practical and good advice in working with a tight budget, and when starting a business. Although I did enjoy print media, and sales. Also, the essays are the best part of the course. They required research, (and research is very accessible on the internet), and it takes effort. Also, essays are the best way to put in your own words, which helps to get a better grasp on the material (Much more effective than multiple choice). I had fun comparing and contrasting the effectiveness of two commercials for the course. It also got me to think critically of content and timing. I also liked how the instructor recommended reading at end of course. She was also very prompt in getting my grades back on course and essay assignments. I also liked the additional links to the web that pertained to each topic." -- Charles F.
- "This course is wonderful! It's the first online course I've taken, and I was apprehensive at first, but I'm happy to say that it was a very positive experience. All the lessons were very helpful. I like the way it's laid out, with different font styles to emphasize the importance of certain information. All the practical examples were very helpful as well, and the exams and assignments were very effective to help make sure we understood the lessons." -- Leslie G.
