How long should your copy be?

Just long enough to say what you need to say.
"Omit needless words. Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts."
-- The Elements of Style, William Strunk Jr., E.B. White

Do your customers wonder about you?

"The public should always be wondering how it is possible to give so much for the money."
(Henry Ford)
