BENEFITS
What are the benefits of scientific/technical writing for food/ingredient products?
1. Reach consumers and decision-makers
Consumers are looking for companies to provide them with up-to-date, relevant and easily
understood information. They also want to be reassured that the product does what it purports
to do. This will empower your consumer audience to make the best and most informed
decisions about their health.
Like consumers, decision-makers will value highly-detailed information found in a technical
paper than an over-simplified version because they will find it lending to the credibility of the
overall product effectiveness. Technical papers attract customers.
2. Educate Your Potential Customers
Technical papers will help potential customers decide if a product will meet their needs. With
technical papers, it is much easier to persuade buyers and influence their buying behavior.
3. Enhances Product Awareness & Generate Sales Leads
Consumers and decision-makers will value the information in a technical paper, so they will be
much more likely to purchase the product they are already aware of and educated about.
Technical white papers also serve as a powerful sales support tool.
4. Establishes credibility
The information contained in a technical white paper will be perceived by its reader(s) to be
well-researched and give validation and support to the benefits and claims stated in the paper.
5. Marketplace Leadership, Differentiation & Competitive Positioning
A highly detailed and technical paper focusing on scientific attributes and health benefits will
create value in the minds of your customers, because the information will be perceived as
