Steve Slaunwhite is here today to announce the names of the three winners for the March The Writer’s Life B2B product descriptions email Writing Contest!

Check out his short video for the winners’ names and brief insights about why each of these winning submissions impressed him.

With over 160 entries to our recent online email writing contest from The Writer’s Life, he said it was difficult to choose just three $200 prize winners.

Steve congratulated everyone who entered the contest and pointed out these are challenging projects and everyone who put in the time and the work did a really great job. We’d also like to add our kudos to the members who participated in this contest. Great job on making the effort — and be sure to add your sample to your portfolio!

The challenge was to write an email as part of a campaign for a new food warming unit. The task was to write a headline of just 8 words and then up to 75 words for the body copy to promote the fictional WarmCo Mini Display Warmer. Readers were given a copywriting brief like you’d receive from a real client plus valuable tips for how to write an effective B2B email.

Now, here’s Steve with the three winning entries … He also shares some valuable tips writers can use to improve ANY copy they write.
