How to Increase Your Enrollment 70% in 2 Weeks

I’m not sure if you can increase your enrollment 70% in 2 weeks. Maybe you can, maybe not. But if the title of this post got your attention, now you know the power of using specifics, not generalities, in your marketing.

When you speak and write in specifics, your marketing message comes across more persuasively. You sound more credible and believable. And you capture prospects’ attention more easily.

What if the title of this post was, “How to increase your enrollment in a short period of time”?

Well, a “short period of time” is a general statement. It doesn’t grab you. It doesn’t convey the same power as saying, “70% in 2 weeks,” because “70% in 2 weeks” is convincing and specific.

Using specific names, numbers, dates, prices, and facts is the most effective way to write sales copy. Check out these examples of how and why using specifics, not generalities, is the more effective way to promote your camp.
