How to Kill Ambiguous Copy with 2 Questions

👀 Sponsor this spot to share your content with our community.

Your prospects aren’t sitting around with a red pen, ready to decipher your copy. They’re busy.

If your messaging isn’t clear, it’s getting ignored. The real enemy? Ambiguity.

Ambiguous copy leaves too much room for interpretation, which can make your brand forgettable or, worse, misleading.

Ask yourself these two questions about your copy:

1️⃣ What point am I trying to make?
2️⃣ Can I prove it?

Instead of claiming you’re “trusted and professional,” show how. Do you have stellar reviews? A 24/7 support team? A crazy-fast return policy? Specificity sells.

Next time you’re reviewing copy, put it to the test. Hand it to someone who knows nothing about your brand and ask: “What do we do? Would you want to know more?” If they hesitate, it’s back to the drawing board.

DoorDash Vday 2025

Some Like It Hot

DoorDash is turning up the heat this Valentine’s Day with its cheeky “Threesome” campaign.

The third party in this scenario is, of course, a DoorDash delivery bag loaded with flowers, chocolates, and whipped cream.

The platform is dropping limited-edition “sweet” and “spicy” bundles in select cities, with the spicy version featuring items from Hustler Hollywood—DoorDash’s first partner in the intimate wellness category.

DoorDash is fully embracing the racy marketing trend—the :30 ad is actually age-restricted on YouTube.
