Wholesale Catalog Content #CORPINC
In my first copywriting gig, I wrote catalog descriptions for C.O.R.P. Inc. This former wholesale military seller provided variety of items to surplus and sports shops across the country. I regularly met with the owners to find out what they wanted to communicate about their stock, which would be used to write up product descriptions their clients used to attract customers.
I was given a buyer persona of "a guy in his 30s-50s, living in the heart of America, probably divorced, has a pickup truck with a gun rack, and a dog who rides with him everywhere he goes." Extra points if I had fun with the copy.
I've included a few samples here.
