Content and section planning is an essential technique for copywriters before they begin to write any sort of copy. It ensures that we remain on course throughout the process of writing and do not tangle into inconsistency.
Without a section strategy for guiding the copywriter, there is a high chance of your copy failing which ends up boring the core audience. This can be an especially negative outcome if you want to build customer confidence and retention with the copy.
So, it’s time to polish up those skills and get ready to take notes, because we’re here to tell you how Taglime plans sections for every project, how they are relevant and enhance the copywriting process:
- It helps you understand the role and stance of the company.
Anything you mention in the copy and the section plan should adhere to the values, principles, and beliefs of the company. Try not to pay much attention to what you feel about the topic personally – pay more heed to what the company thinks and believes in – and design a plan according to that.
Your section plan should be built from the viewpoint of the client and should implicitly connect the approach with your offering. But note the term – “subliminal” – as your content should always be more informative than commercial.
- It helps you know and understand your audience.
Who is the copy meant for?
Copywriters really do need to think about this for a long time, as it determines the path of the copy. Consider the group’s interests when using audience personas dependent on current clients.
Consider how you should organize the future copy into a business-specific section plan to demonstrate what the reader needs to know about the company. From then onwards, writing the copy shouldn’t be too hard.
If the target audience appreciates the section plan and copy, they will call, sign up, or find another way to respond to the CTA on the site.
- It helps with brainstorming.
The section plan reveals how the copy will be organized, what boxes the content falls into, and how people want to move through the company’s website.
When writing the copy for a profile or website, copywriters need to brainstorm to no end, and this organization of material helps in the process. It lets a copywriter know what matters and to what extent the core audience is looking for the information.
- It helps you set goals and a path for the audience.
Copywriters have to arrange the material according to the thought processes of future clients, especially if you want them to be fulfilled with your website.
Content must direct users through a practical process; anything else is a waste of effort. Section planning lets you understand the purpose of each section of the copy. The goal may be either overt (e.g. for increasing subscription newsletters or accessing manuals) or more subtle (such as informing, convincing, or telling a story).
- It helps you determine which angle to take.
Figuring out which angle and direction to take is key for writing an effective copy – the angle takes note of the audience and allows you to stick out.
