Making your marketing messages matter to your customers
One of the biggest challenges facing marketers in the financial services industry is standing out from a seemingly indistinguishable crowd of competitors.
For many customers, financial institutions all seem to look and sound the same. They're often focused on their products' features, not on how they can change their customers' lives for the better. But it doesn't have to be this way; you CAN stand out from the crowd. That's what Outstanding Copywriting is all about.
My name is James Burns and I am a freelance financial services copywriter specializing in direct-response and digital content. I work with a broad range of companies across the financial services spectrum, including Sun Life Financial, American Express, Meridian Credit Union, HomEquity Bank, QTrade and advertising agencies.
I dig deep for whatever makes your company or products different. I work to discover or create what is unique so as to make you stand out from the crowd. Because when you stand out from the crowd and come across as being different, people take notice. They listen. And they buy.
Moving away from features and focusing on benefits
I always focus on benefits and write from the customer’s point of view, showing how people just like them benefited from these financial services, and how they could, too.
So I write about a credit card that can help them visit the sister they haven't seen in a decade. Or the mutual fund that will help them pay for their kids' education. Or the insurance product that will get them back in their damaged car in only a couple of days. Or the financial newsletter that will help them take early retirement from the job they hate.
I research, in great depth, both your products and your ideal customers, and bring them together. I make your customers picture their new, happy, stress-free and wealthier life thanks to your product or service. And then I lead them by the hand so they can buy it from you.
