Today we welcome Jenny Roth to the Crush the Rush podcast. Jenny is an expert copywriter and today we’re talking all about email copy. Jenny started out writing for a local magazine and quickly became the editor. In talking with business owners, she realized that they need help writing all kinds of things – email copy, blogs, website copy, etcJenny shares that good email copy is simply an extension of your personal brand. It’s a way to amplify your customer service, treat people well and share your knowledge. She recommends considering two things when writing your email: (1) What is the purpose of this email? How is it serving my email list? (2) How does this email list serve me as the business owner? If you’re unsure where to start, start with a personal story!What about sales emails? Jenny recommends always including testimonials and case studies, answer questions that your clients have and address their objections. She says that 80% of copy is leaning into the objections, doubts, and benefits of your program and 20% is good copy. So, knowing exactly who you help and how you help them is key! In this episode:How Jenny became an expert in the field of copywriting [0:34]Why does email copy matter? [3:31]What makes a good email?

Today we welcome Kris Jones to the podcast. Kris owns Red Door Designs, which started as a graphic design and visual storytelling business. She eventually recognized that the biggest challenge and pain point for her clients was the copywriting piece. She’s created a fun and simple formula, so you don’t have to procrastinate on your copywriting anymore!Kris shares the importance of using stories to draw clients to you and grow your business. She walks us through developing the shortest type of story you can tell - your “elevator pitch.” She recommends creating a tagline or one-liner and keeping it short and concise. If you struggle with either going into too much detail or not saying enough, tune in! Her formula is simple and effective!What about written copy, though? Thank goodness for us, Kris shares that good written copy is conversational! So, if you would say it in conversation, write it in your copy. Also, make sure you position yourself as the guide and not the hero of the story. Your client should always be the hero! Good copy can create trust and connection with your potential client, which is invaluable! It’s like having a full-time sales employee that’s selling for you 24/7.
