If you dream to write the best sales copy like Apple, embrace the use of tiny words.

These tiny words need to be:

• Mystical
• Magical
• Divinely Smooth

Let’s see how Apple deploys all of those to write the best sales copy ever written.

In fact, I call it Microcopywriting!

Let’s mine what this is and how Apple uses it to write seductive sales copy.

Apple Copywriting tip 1: Make Your Copy Delighted

Lovable. Drawable. Magical.

These words say it all.

• You can feel the delight
• You can feel the art
• You can feel the surprise
• You can feel the excitement

You can see how the “able” repeats twice.

And, then the “cal” disrupts the rhyme.

Most copywriters would have repeated the rhyme a third time.

Apple didn’t.

Instead, Apple threw us a lucky accident feel.

Absolutely world-class!

This is how we should learn how to write creative copy that sells.

Apple Copywriting tip 2: Address Struggles. Then Resolve Them

• Apple realizes our struggles
• Apple calls out those struggles
• Finally, it resolves them

People don’t hate working.

They hate struggling

They hate fiddling around cluelessly on something that matters

Apple simply gives them the escape route.

An escape from being stuck on a slow laptop.

Apple Copywriting tip 3: You are the Hero. You’re in the Spotlight

Create to your heart’s content.

Apple did not brag about its iPad.

It puts the spotlight on you.

It brings you into its story.

This gesture makes you feel elevated, honoured and valued.

Here Apple is making you imagine yourself using the product before anything!

Here’s another groundbreaking example.

Watch. Learn And level up.

See how ingeniously Apple talked about learning and levelling up your reading experience or similar.

It did not specifically mention X number of pixels or Y number of resolution depth.

The reader itself understands that the display is as good as we want it to be.

And, that’s how we level up ourselves.

This is an example of copywriting that sells.

Tiny Words. Powerful Message

Apple never uses big words.

Big words add create complexity. Or. exclusivity.

Apple does not like this.

Tiny words are:

• Easier to read
• Easier to grasp
• Harder to skip

We are readers.

And.

Readers are toddlers.

We like smaller sentences, tiny portions, and piecewise meals.

Apple knows this.

So, their copywriters make use of punchy two 3-word sentences.

Here’s another example of copywriting for products.

Oh. So. Pro!

Carve New Sounds Within Words

First, read out the words – loud – to yourself!

Listen for nuances in the sounds.

And see if you could carve new sounds within words.

Here’s an example of how masterfully Apple copywriters have pulled off this working technique!

Apps-olutely!

Notoriously Ingenious. Isn’t?

Here’s another magic behind the word ‘apps-olutely’.

Notice the three characters ‘App”.

This also makes you realize the first three letters of Apple.

Doesn’t it feel like a lucky, impeccable accident?

This is called Micro-copywriting.

This is called Apple copywriting.

Here’s another impeccable picture:

This is the best way to learn how to write great marketing copy.

Exceptional Marketers Turn Features Into characters

Here’s how Apple copywriters do this:

They turn a given set of features into characters:

Here’s how:

Apple simply turned features into characters with personification.

They paint Wi-Fi 6E and 5G as fast friends.

To some 6E and 5G sound almost like an alien – completely unknown.

But, blending them as friends, make it look like a real thing.

Simply awesome!

Ask Questions That Matter

Ask brilliant, yet simple questions.

See Apple in action.

Here Apple has masterfully app-lied its ingenious, non-pushy pitch to narrow down its customer choice.

• It lets you decide which iPad product is good for you
• It lets you imagine yourself using the product
• Apple takes the focus from its product over to you
• Finally, narrows the choices for you

So?

Apple uses tiny words, known as micro-copywriting to:

• grab
• grasp
• gain

your attention, focus and drive you to take action.

More than the copy itself, Apple shows us how you can use rhyme and bring the effect in single most effective words.

It blows away the complexity in the most fun and simple way.

Apple meticulously uses these tiny words that are divine, effective and awe-inspiring.

…Making us take action.
