“We humans are pretty bad at knowing the truth. In fact, our brains suffer from so many distortions, omissions and biases that our perceptions can be completely at odds with reality.”
Tom Albrighton, Copywriting Made Simple: How to write powerful and persuasive copy that sells

“The simplest type of headline simply says what the product is, and what it does. The basic formula is ‘[Product] is a [description] that helps you [action].’ For example: Amazon Dash Button is a Wi-Fi-connected device that reorders your favourite product with the press of a button.”
Tom Albrighton, Copywriting Made Simple: How to write powerful and persuasive copy that sells

“Tangible benefits are solid, objective facts that readers can use to choose and compare products, or make a logical argument for buying them. Sometimes you can measure them numerically, like this claim used by Dettol (Reckitt Benckiser): Kills 99.9% of germs Other benefits are more subjective and emotional. These are called intangible benefits. They offer to change the reader’s emotions by making them feel more attractive, secure, clever, fashionable and so on. The famous tagline for L’Oréal promises the intangible benefit of self-esteem: Because You’re Worth It.”
