The Secret of the Bucket Brigade

The Bucket Brigade in Copywriting

Have you ever heard of something called “The Bucket Brigade”?

They are also called copy connectors as they are used to keep your message flowing by using the power of human psychology to make your reader move seamlessly from one thought to another.

These words eliminate ANY copy “blockers”, which could cause your prospect to stop reading and move on to something else.

Also, they create a sort of neurological bridge between thoughts that compel your reader to keep going.

Ultimately, bucket brigade words are used to make a smooth transition between the thoughts of different sentences and phrases.

It helps to eliminate any “choppiness” in your writing.
