How to apply Apple’s secrets for success"},"content":{"rendered":"

Apple is a $2 trillion monolith of a company, and for countless good reasons. One of the primary reasons is their powerful marketing – one could argue they’re more famous for that than their actual product. Alex Garcia<\/a> has a clear and concise guide to the process Apple uses to create compelling website copy, and it\u2019s something you should absolutely try in your next round of marketing.<\/p>\n

Garcia, a known marketing expert, breaks Apple\u2019s copy down into 13 distinct techniques, the majority of which can be lumped into 3 categories:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Appealing to customers<\/li>\n
  2. Appealing to experts<\/li>\n
  3. Appealing to the algorithm<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Like any good marketing<\/a> scheme, the majority of Apple\u2019s techniques fall into the first category, but the overlap between these groups is what makes Apple\u2019s copy stand out<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    When appealing to customers, Apple tends to make things as simple as possible, sticking to a modern adaptation of the phrase \u201cless is more.\u201d This is a process that involves anything from rhyming (yes, seriously) and using alliteration all the way to creating short, energetic sentences that place the reader in the driver\u2019s seat.<\/p>\n

    Apple also likes to focus on specific product details – edgeless screens, faster chips, camera abilities – as individual selling points, complete with supporting images. In theory, this makes it easier for the consumer to keep track of the benefits of the product.<\/p>\n

    And that energetic copy, often stemming from short sentences with the words \u201cyou\u201d and \u201cyour\u201d appearing organically<\/strong>, always accompanying those product details.<\/p>\n

    For what Garcia identifies as \u201cscanners,\u201d the most impressive information comes first<\/strong> (and uses the largest font), with the rest of the information following an \u201cinverted pyramid\u201d format in which details taper down from largest benefits to smallest benefits.<\/p>\n

    Apple\u2019s overlap between experts and consumers is similarly notable. For the casual consumer, mentioning the new chip speed or information about the retina display on an iPhone stands out as impressive. And for experts who know how to read the specs they\u2019re seeing, that first impression means just as much. Apple\u2019s inclusion of those specifications in their copy (often in finer print than the bold, consumer-oriented headlines) makes all the difference.<\/p>\n

    Finally, search algorithms can flawlessly index Apple\u2019s marketing copy due to copious use of keywords (words that don\u2019t feel like keywords to the average consumer) in order to ensure that Apple products are recommended to as many undecided would-be buyers as possible.<\/p>\n

    Make no mistake:<\/strong> Apple has a metric truckload of other reasons for their success, many of which are well outside of the grasp of most companies. But their marketing copy, and the confidence with which it is implemented, is something from which any business can learn. Before your next marketing push, consider how you’re appealing to all three categories, while your competitors only consider one (consumers).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
