The Art of Idea Generation

Insights from Demand Curve

Crafting compelling copy doesn’t start with writing—it starts with generating ideas. Many jump straight into headlines, but the real magic happens when you think bigger and explore all angles. Here's a strategic approach to create hundreds of copy ideas that resonate.

1. Start with Broad Buckets

Instead of diving straight into polished headlines, begin with broad, high-level categories. Create at least 20 “idea buckets” that encompass the core benefits, unique attributes, and truths about your product or service. For example, if you’re promoting an online learning platform, buckets might include: "Learn from Home," "No Commute Needed," or "Start Anytime."

2. Fill Buckets with Raw Ideas

Now, flesh out each bucket with ten or more ideas. Think of this as brainstorming without restrictions—note down obvious truths, slightly tweak existing phrases, and explore the opposite ideas. Don’t worry about the quality yet; the goal is to capture as many angles as possible. This is where you find hidden gems, relatable truths, and unique selling points.

3. Turn Ideas into Compelling Headlines

Transform your collection of raw ideas into clear, concise, and catchy headlines. Use various copywriting techniques like crafting relatable hooks, highlighting unexpected benefits, or even using humor. The key is to turn a raw idea into a headline that grabs attention and encourages action.

The Takeaway

Don’t rush to the finish line with your first thought. Take time to explore, refine, and craft headlines that truly speak to your audience. The more angles you explore, the more powerful your copy will be.

Unlocking Webinar Attendance Secrets

Insights from Marketing Millenials

Webinars have become a cornerstone of content strategy for brands, but getting people to show up? That’s the real challenge. While they’re great for middle-of-the-funnel engagement, the low barrier to entry often means low attendance rates. Here’s how to flip the script and pack your virtual events with eager participants.

1️⃣ Calendar Invites Are Gold

Ensure your registration process includes a seamless "Add to Calendar" option. This simple feature ensures potential attendees block off the time, keeping your event top of mind and reducing last-minute drop-offs.

2️⃣ The Power of Live Q&A

Create an exclusive feel by hosting live Q&A sessions that aren’t recorded. This strategy pushes attendees to join in real-time, especially when featuring industry-leading guest speakers. Live interaction adds a layer of urgency and exclusivity, boosting attendance.

3️⃣ Masterful Copywriting

Your event’s success often hinges on how you frame it. Use compelling, competitive copy to hook potential attendees. Instead of generic invitations, craft narratives that highlight unique insights or frame the webinar as a can’t-miss opportunity to outsmart competitors.

4️⃣ Timing is Everything

Schedule webinars based on your audience's time zone and daily routines. Consider when your target audience is most likely to attend, such as lunch breaks or slower times during their workday.

5️⃣ Partner for Greater Reach

Collaborate with non-competing brands to co-host webinars. This allows you to tap into each other’s audiences, boost credibility, and drive higher attendance through combined marketing efforts.

The Takeaway

With these tactics, you can elevate your webinar attendance rates. It’s all about making your event irresistible, engaging, and perfectly timed for your audience.
