It seems counter-intuitive, but it’s true!
Avoid short copy. It kills response!
That’s right! Long copy usually produces better responses. But I do believe something in the copy must be short.
In fact, many direct response copywriters make a vital blunder in starting copy on a direct mail letter, email, ad, or website with a long first sentence.

This DR copy rule can increase your response: Keep the first sentence and paragraph of your copy short
Remember: your reader will form an instant impression of your letter by reading the first sentence, so keep it short.
A short opening makes the copy more inviting and easier to read. Psychologically, it helps with connecting to your prospect. It becomes less intimidating and more inviting.
