How can you propose options for your audience?

What will be an ideal response?


In advertisements, the action is clearly implied: If you like what we are saying, go buy our products. In terms of news, if you write stories about tax increases or changes to public policy, do so far enough in advance to give people a chance to attend meetings where officials will debate these issues. You can also include contact information so the members of your audience can reach out to the decision makers. If you promote events, you must include time, date, and place information so people know where to go and when to get there. You also could include other helpful information such as if tickets are necessary. If you write “how-to” pieces, you should address every important issue at each step in a process so that people can make sure they are doing it right. In some cases, images can be extremely helpful, but your writing alone should be able to do the job properly.
