What Is Persuasive Copy?

persuasive-copyThe simple (and lazy) way to answer this question is to say persuasive copy is copy or content that is designed to persuade people to do things. And while that is completely true, the real meaning goes a lot deeper than a single sentence.

Persuasive copy is used every day online, in direct-mail packages, magazine and newspaper ads or even in a love letter from some fellow trying to win a young lady’s heart.

Writing an Essay? Re:word Can Help

writing_an_essayChances are, if you have gone through a traditional upbringing that includes attending elementary school, high school and some form of post-secondary school, you’ve written plenty of essays.  The essay is often used as a benchmark to develop a student’s writing, editing, analyzing, comparing and contrasting skills.  It forces you to think and express and examine your own thoughts, beliefs and ideas.  Of course, for many students these noble attributes are lost and writing an essay is just one of those things that must be done in order to pass a class.
