Hooks · Printing presses

Opening lines that stop the scroll for printing presses

Machines and rates are your two winning openings. Start on the sheet moving or the price spoken out loud, because you are the only press in the bazaar publishing either. The mistake is a photo of the shop front with the phone number, which nobody stops for.

Using these hooks

How do I use these hooks?

Should I use them word for word?

Use the shape, change the words. These are written for printing presses generally; the version that works is the one with your own price, your own area and your own customer's actual question in it.

Do these work in Urdu?

Several have a Roman Urdu version below, and in the twin cities that version usually performs better on TikTok and Facebook. On LinkedIn, stay in English.
