Copywriting: Brevity is the soul of marketing

“Brevity is the soul of wit.” – William Shakespeare

To me, its beauty rests in the powerful meaning packed in six simple words. Brevity can also be used as a tool to aid your marketing, as I discovered from a recent email experiment.

But first, a little more detail about the experiment.

Background: A global producer of high-quality audio equipment and accessories.

Goal: To increase clickthrough rates in an email.

Research Question: Which email will generate the highest clickthrough rate?
