When it comes to attracting consumers through advertising, which words, phrases, and techniques are most effective? Strategic Copywriting, a detailed how-to guide, introduces students to time-tested strategies for writing and designing successful ads.
In this third edition, Edd Applegate explains core principles that have guided advertising for decades and introduces how to identify target markets and employ tests before and after an ad runs.
