Copywriting Proposal Template

Good ad copy can be the difference between the perfect customers finding your business or missing it altogether. The most groundbreaking business will fail if its copy isn’t top-notch. That’s where I come in.

Together, you and I will explore what your business is, who it targets, and where those people congregate. Then, I’ll use that information to write tight, eye-catching copy that will show your ideal customers not only where to find you, but why they need you.

The goal for this project is to provide you with a comprehensive package of copywriting material – ad copy, a sales page, and copy for your website – that will set you up for success.

1. I know the secrets of good copywriting. I’ve had [x] years of experience as a professional writer, and my work can be seen on [website], [website], and [website].
2. You can see the rest of my portfolio here, where I’ve taken on many projects with businesses like yours.
3. I take a comprehensive approach to copywriting, making sure that I know who I’m writing to before I begin work. Knowing your audience helps me know how to speak to the people who need you most.

Here’s a breakdown of the deliverables we’ve discussed and their cost.

Here is a list of the suggested milestones we need to meet for this project. We’ll set up conference calls and discuss your needs, so that you’re up to date on the project every step of the way.

Have a look at this agreement, and see if there are any changes you would like to make. Get in contact with me, and we’ll make the necessary changes. Then, after approval, we’ll schedule a time for a conference call. (Or meeting in person, if you’re local!).

In that meeting we will discuss your business, and who it’s for, so that I can create the best copy possible.
