Evaluating Copy: The Importance of Headlines and Leads
A successful copy relies heavily on an engaging headline and a compelling opening, which together account for about 80% of the piece's overall success. The headline needs to capture attention by being relevant and specific, while the opening should expand on the emotional appeal established by the headline. For instance, instead of a generic headline about improving well-being, a more effective approach would highlight a specific issue, like back pain. Additionally, demonstrating empathy and maintaining a focused message from the start ensures that readers remain engaged and connected to the material.
