As I wrote the previous post, I flashed back to a presentation at an AWAI copywriting bootcamp presented by direct marketing legend Herschel Gordon Lewis. He cited studies that proved the effectiveness of numbers over words–regardless of what grammarians might think.
Compare the following phrases:
- “features 6 world-class experts who instruct you on the various activities involvedâ€
- “features six world-class experts who instruct you on the various activities involved.â€
Note how the number stands out and communicates better in the top example.
