Tip of the Week, 14.10.10: Be Specific!

The next time you write a document promoting your organisation, remember to keep your key points specific. Lead with your benefit, but tell your reader why you are making the statement.

Compare the two examples:

• 'Our product is unique.'
• 'Our product is unique because it is made by hand.'

The second example has greater impact and is more memorable. It gives a tangible reason for the benefit, and paints a specific picture in your readers' minds as to why they should be interested in your product.
