7 Writing Tips to Help You Stay on Message: In business, words matter. We write to tell a story, to make a point or to engage a reader. But it’s easy to fall into the trap of over-writing – filling space with unnecessary words when most of the time, less is more. Whether you are marketing your company, utilizing social media or communicating with clients, here are a few tips to keep your business writing clear and concise:
- Use simpler words when they’ll do the job. Don’t use “inculpate” if you really mean “blame.” The University of Wisconsin’s writing center calls this Inflated Diction. I just call it big words!
- Drop the prepositional phrases. Instead of “It was the idea of my client,” write “It was my client’s idea.” That makes the sentence clear and easy to understand.
