what type of buyer are you targeting?
There are basically 2 kinds of buyers.
1. The Impulsive Buyer
This is the kind of guy with places to go and people to see and not a whole lot of time to do it in. Typically, hell skim the headlines and subtopics, glance at the photos and captions, and make a snap decision.
2. The Analytical Buyer
This group of buyers believes that the proof is in the details. Theyll read everything
including the fine print.

regardless of length. Lets look at what you need to do to reach both buyers.
