I’ve worked as a successful professional copywriter for two main reasons. One reason is that I know the business I write for very well. The other reason is that I am able to write effectively in a way that appeals to the customers. The second skill is where many copywriters—and businesses—fall short. A good copywriter should know the product intimately and know how to sell it.

The best way to sell a product is to put yourself in the customers shoes. Learn why they desire or require it. Once you know that, you have the key to significantly increasing your sales.

Here are a few tips to keep in mind when you want your customers to buy more.

Surveys and interviews are incredibly useful when it comes to getting to know your clients. This way you get to learn more about their customers—their lifestyles, occupations, social economic status, and more. This also allows you to monitor purchases they’ve made in the past to see where you can expand your product base.

Once you’ve studied the product I’m selling in comparison to what you’re selling, you’ll want to study your market further by searching for customers that you’re your products relevant and interesting when applied to what they desire. The information gathered by the interviews will, provide you with the information you need to better tailor your products to your buyer’s needs. You’ll want to interview from 3 to 50 people depending upon the scope of your business.

When conducting your own customer interviews, be sure to add these 3 critical questions:

1. What is your first impression of the product?
2. What makes this product stand out? Would you choose it over other brands you’ve bought in the past?
3. Are there any reasons you wouldn’t buy this product?

Believe it or not, the third question can sometimes be the most important. Knowing a product’s flaws makes it easier to anticipate the consumer’s needs.

After you’ve conducted your interviews and gathering your notes. Take a moment to visualize a typical purchase in your mind. Bring to mind the faces of each person you spoke with. Imagine their thought process as they began their search online.

Try to anticipate how they feel when they come across your website, the impressions they receive from the ads, product descriptions, and testimonies. Then, imagine the buying process, how they feel when they make a single purchase. Try to envision them using the product. Will they buy it again? Will they enjoy themselves? Will they consider their purchase to be a good deal? These are all questions that should run through your mind.

Try going through this process yourself. The more you learn about what it’s like to anticipate the needs and wants of your customers, the better your sales will be. Remember that knowing these things is the mark of a highly successful business person.
