How about right now? If salespeople are using outdated brochures, or if website copy doesn’t reflect current needs, or if a planned ad campaign is languishing somewhere between idea and execution … then it’s time.

Hiring a freelance copywriter is a smart, cost-effective way to get those projects off your desk and into the market, where they can start getting results.

If you’ve never worked with a freelance copywriter before, you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how very helpful it is to have one on call. You’ll get the concepts and copy you need, when you need it. Hiring a freelancer is the ideal solution for handling the extra workload associated with launching new products or services, preparing trade show materials, or developing ad campaigns.

That flexibility also saves you money. With a freelance writer, you pay only for what you need written. And, you know up front what the copy will cost and when it’ll be delivered, which helps in planning everything from advertising budgets to production schedules. You get a dedicated, senior-level copywriter/creative director, without the ongoing expense of staffing up.

You’ll be hiring a professional writer. So the words will flow smoothly and the ideas will be expressed clearly. But, more-important, you’ll be hiring a professional advertising copywriter. So concepts will be based on sound strategic thinking. Competitive points of difference will be hammered home. Branding will be supported. And, copy will be persuasive.

You also reap the broader benefits of independent outside counsel. A freelance copywriter brings a fresh perspective and customer-focused insight. So, concepts and copy connect with the market.

All of which gives you breathing room to set the course for your business. It’s the perfect partnership: your knowledge of the business and industry, combined with the strategic insights and writing chops of a seasoned professional advertising copywriter.

You probably have projects right now that, if completed, could strengthen relationships, seize market opportunities, and gain sales. Call me at (619) 465-6100 and let’s get to work!
