Personality Injection

So many people write in that, "I'm trying to sound professional" manner that you'd think sterile writing was a virtue.

Don't be fooled by that. A lot of people like a little personality in their reading. Unless you're writing for a specific group of professionals where a level of formalism is expected, like doctors or scientists, injecting a little of your fine personality and color into your writing can be a plus.

Adding a little personality to your writing can help humanize your brand and help establish a personal connection with your audience. They may see you as more likely to understand their needs and more likely to be approachable after a purchase if they have a problem.

While the overall tone and content of a sales page should primarily focus on business, injecting some personality can make it more engaging, relatable, and even more memorable. However, don't get the wrong idea about this tactic and reveal too many personal details. A good use of personality is if you have an interesting anecdote that ties in to the topic and it's a good fit, don't be afraid to use it.

Don't make it about you though, because your prospects want to know what's in it for them. It's the primary core truth in marketing. In other words, using an personal anecdote to illustrate a selling point or help them identify with you in a positive way is a sound strategy. Talking about yourself too much is not.

Here are a few key points to success with this strategy:

  1. Understand your target audience: Tailor your personality to align with your target market's expectations. For example, if you're targeting a younger demographic, you might adopt a more casual and conversational tone. Use the style of language your target market uses.
  2. Be authentic: Let your true personality shine through. Authenticity builds trust and fosters connections. However, ensure that your personality aligns with your brand's image and values to maintain consistency.
  3. Use storytelling: Share anecdotes or personal experiences that relate to your product or service. Storytelling can be a powerful tool to engage readers and create an emotional connection. Just ensure that the stories you share are relevant and support your sales message.
  4. Highlight unique selling points: If your personality traits or experiences are relevant to the unique selling points of your product or service, it can be beneficial to showcase them. It helps differentiate your offering from competitors and adds a measure of credibility.
  5. Balance professionalism and personal touch: While injecting personality, remember to maintain a respectful degree of professionalism and avoid overdoing it. Ensure that your sales page remains focused on the business and its benefits while infusing personality as a supporting element.
Ultimately, the goal is to create a sales page that captures the attention of your audience, establishes a rapport, and effectively communicates the value of your offering. A judicious blend of business-oriented content and personal touches can help you achieve that balance.
