Abstract:
This paper argues that a holistic assessment of the conceptual appeal and the persuasive power of a piece of copy is best made by the ultimate consumer rather than an inward looking "expert opinionâ as sometimes suggested by people in the advertising business. The author further makes the point that appropriately used research gives the copywriter a competitive edge.
