Clincher Sentences: The #1 Way to Reinforce a Message and Jump-Start Action

by Henneke | 82 enchanting opinions, add yours? :)

A clincher sentence is a concluding sentence reinforcing your key message.

This article discusses how to write a clincher:

how to simplify complexity

How to write clinchers

How to write a clincher sentence

I’m half skimming, half reading a fairly interesting article—all the way until the last word.

But as soon as I’ve finished, I’ve already forgotten what I’ve read.

Sound familiar?

If you want readers to remember your words, you need to invigorate your message and jump-start your readers into action.

And the easiest way to do that?

Write a clincher sentence.

Eh … what is a clincher sentence?

You’ll find clinchers as the last sentence of a well-written blog post, essay, or book chapter; or at the end of a section in a blog post—before a subhead introduces the next section.

A clincher sentence is a soundbite , communicating a nugget of wisdom. It’s a memorable point that may linger in your reader’s mind long after she’s finished reading your content.

Want to know how to write these powerful sentences?

Examples of clincher sentences

In his memoir My Father, the Pornographer , Chris Offutt ends most chapters with excellent clincher sentences.

For instance, the ending of the 4th chapter gives us insight in the son’s relationship with his father:

(…) I realized the landscape would always hold me tight, that I could never escape, that in fact what I loved and felt most loyal to were the wooded hills, and not my father.

And the 25th chapter ends as follows (note: cons refers to conventions where his father’s fans would gather):

Dad seldom left the house over which he held utter dominion. When he did leave, he went to cons, an environment that assuaged his ego in every way. He grew accustomed to these two extremes and became resentful when his family failed to treat him like fans did. We disappointed him with our need for a father.

Ouch. We disappointed him with our need for a father. A hard truth.

If writing was a boxing match, the clincher sentence would be the knockout blow.

But how do you deliver a killer punch?

How to write a clincher sentence

To write a clincher sentence, you first must know your key message.

So, think about this: If readers would remember one thing from your article or book chapter, what would it be?

If you can’t think of the key message, your idea might still be a little fuzzy. Let it simmer for a while, and then revisit your post. Which question do you want to answer? What problem do you help solve? What is your key tip?

To get unstuck, use one of these sentence starters to help formulate your key point:

  • In conclusion (or ultimately ), [add your final say on the topic or sum up your argument]
  • Remember, [remind readers of your key idea—sometimes you only need to rephrase an earlier sentence]
  • Your action: [tell readers what to do with your advice]
  • Your takeaway: [sum up the main point readers should remember]

The two-punch approach to clinchers

In educational or inspirational writing, you can use the two-punch approach. Firstly, remind readers what you’ve explained already. And secondly, nudge them to implement your advice.

For instance, Mark Manson uses this approach in his article about the most important question of your life . His penultimate sentence summarizes his key point:

This is the most simple and basic component of life: our struggles determine our successes.

And his last sentence addresses the reader directly to nudge him to implement his advice:

So choose your struggles wisely, my friend.

At the end of their book Made to Stick , Chip and Dan Heath take the same approach. The penultimate sentence summarizes their key point:

Stories have the amazing dual power to simulate and to inspire.

And their very last sentence encourages readers to implement their advice by telling them it’s not as hard as they might think:

And most of the time we don’t even have to use much creativity to harness these powers—we just need to be ready to spot the good ones that life generates every day.

Remember, your clincher sentence is the killer punch encouraging readers to implement your advice.

So, summarize and inspire.

(See what I just did? That was another two-puncher.)

Make your killer punch reverberate

My favorite type of clincher sentence sketches a vivid image , giving energy to your key idea.

Chris Offutt ends the 5th chapter of his memoir with a vivid story—the clincher sentence is the last sentence (I made it bold):

A week after the memorial service [of my father], I took Mom to a greenhouse built of plastic sheeting. Mom selected a plant with white flowers, then smiled, shook her head, and chose red flowers instead. “Your father was color-blind,” she said. “I only bought white flowers so he could see them.” She took the red ones home. After fifty years Mom planted flowers she liked in her own backyard.

And Mark Manson sketches a vivid image at the end of his post about the real value of money —the clincher sentence is in bold:

The real value of money begins when we look beyond it and see ourselves as better, as more valuable, than it is. When it’s not about the accumulation of stuff but rather the enactment of experiences. When it’s not about the mug but rather the coffee that’s in it.

Vivid images haunt readers, popping up in their minds hours—or even days—after reading your content.

When to use a clincher sentence …

At the end of a book or blog post, you don’t have a choice. To avoid your writing petering out, finish with a clincher sentence.

However, at the end of a book chapter or blog post section, you can choose. You can either look ahead and make readers curious to read on, or you can look back and summarize your key message.

To look ahead, use a cliffhanger to raise a question and make readers lean forward, eager to learn more. For instance, in the gripping book American Kingpin , Nick Bilton uses cliffhangers at the end of each chapter.

Here’s the last sentence of the first chapter:

“You got a minute?” he said as he threw the white envelope on the desk. “I have something important I need to show you.”

And the end of the second chapter:

And yet, as he hopped into the car next to his sister, he also didn’t know that in just five years he would be making that amount of money in a single day.

And the end of the 3rd chapter:

But what wasn’t clear to either of them, as they rolled around on his dinky bed in the basement, was that the relationship they were about to embark on would be the most tumultuous romance of Ross’s and Julia’s adult lives. And, for Ross, it would be his last.

Before I started reading the book American Kingpin , I already knew the outcome. I knew Ross Ulbricht gets jailed. Yet, the narrative is so gripping and the cliffhangers so compelling, that I couldn’t put the book down. I wanted to know exactly how the story unfolded.

How to use a cliffhanger + a clincher sentence

You don’t have to choose between a clincher and a cliffhanger.

You can use them both.

For instance, in their book Decisive , Chip and Dan Heath explain how to make better choices in life and work. The closing paragraph of the introduction starts like this:

We may make only a handful of conscious, considered choices every day. But while these decisions don’t occupy much of our time, they have a disproportionate influence on our lives.

Then comes the clincher sentence with a vivid image:

The psychologist Roy Baumeister draws an analogy to driving—in our cars, we may spend 95% of our time going straight, but it’s the turns that determine where we end up.

And they end their introduction with a cliffhanger, making us curious to read on (what’s the four-part process?):

This is a book about those turns. In the chapters to come, we’ll show you how a four-part process can boost your chances of getting where you want to go.

So, at the end of a section or book chapter, you have 3 options:

  • Write a cliffhanger to encourage readers to read on.
  • Compose a clincher to summarize your key point with a punch.

Each sentence helps communicate your ideas

And, of course, each sentence can keep a reader engaged or turn him off.

Yet, your clincher sentence is more important than other sentences.

Because it’s the clincher that reinforces your message.

So, write a strong sentence.

Great post – thank you, Henneke. And I do agree about clinchers. I often find myself wanting to see them at the end of blog posts or articles, as they really tie it all beautifully. I love the red poppy metaphor :-).

May 17, 2022 at 6:35 pm

I am glad you enjoyed this, Daniela. It’s such a pity that many blog posts just fizzle out without any clincher, isn’t it?

I often write a clincher after letting a draft rest for a day (or more). This way I get a better idea of how I want to finish and can write the last few sentences with more energy.

Thank you for stopping by!

Hi Henneke I truly enjoy reading your posts and myself I am a part-time blogger. I have been blogging for over a year but still I am finding difficult in writing a good blog article that would keep readers engaged in reading by articles. I am trying hard to improve my writing skills so that I could express more in my writing. Could you please suggest me some of the best practical ways to improve by writing.

Yes, many writers use clincher sentences naturally. Thank you for taking the time to comment, Mihaida. Happy writing!

As I typed in the name of your website, it popped up in my browser so it means I’ve visited your site before, but may not have actually read your blog posts. This is my first, and I LOVE the content and your writing style.

As others have said, you simplify teaching points and make them a delight to read and learn from. This one on “clinchers” and “cliffhangers” is excellent. They’re not new to me, but your well-chosen examples bring them to life. Now, instead of doing this occasionally, I’ll integrate them in all of my posts. Thank you. You have a new fan.

Welcome, Yvonne, and thank you for your lovely comment. It makes me happy to know that you feel inspired to apply my tips to you writing. Happy blogging!

July 24, 2018 at 7:55 pm

Great. Thank you for your comment, Rich. Happy writing!

clincher persuasive essay

July 9, 2018 at 11:23 am

I like the fact that we don’t have to choose either a clincher or a cliffhanger — we can use both at the same time if necessary.

I guess it comes down to a case-by-case evaluation in the end — what would be most beneficial to your readers in a particular instance?

Thanks for another example-laden article, Henneke. Your writing tips are always great, but the books you reference are the icing on the cake as they are always fascinating ?

July 12, 2018 at 1:05 pm

Yes, you can choose or do both. I don’t think it matters much. The key is to think about how you want to end a piece of writing or a section of that piece.

I’m glad you’re enjoying my book recommendations.

Thank you, Alison. I appreciate your regular comments. They’re really helpful to me.

Hello Henneke, I enjoy all your informative blogs unlike a few who have had impressed me as you do. But in spite of all the motivating write-ups, I am still in a dilemma from where to start. You must on facebook, can you give your link? BEST, Manaj Banerjee India.

July 6, 2018 at 5:51 pm

I’m glad you’re enjoying my blog posts, Manaj. I don’t have a Facebook account. You may find that it doesn’t really matter where you start. Just start somewhere.

Hi Henneke,

This may be my favorite post of yours. Great examples. Hope you are doing well.

July 5, 2018 at 5:44 pm

Thank you, Chris. I see you’ve started a new podcasting project earlier this year. It looks good!

clincher persuasive essay

July 5, 2018 at 7:40 am

A clincher – I have to look up the literal meaning. Did not know there was a word for it! How very clever. Great post!

July 5, 2018 at 7:43 am

Ah, decisive – klinknagel. Got it! There’s no word like that in Dutch.

July 5, 2018 at 12:20 pm

I only knew clincher as a decisive argument in a negotiation. Only recently, I discovered it’s also used for the last (decisive) sentence of a paragraph, essay or chapter. I don’t know a good word for it in Dutch either!

July 5, 2018 at 1:38 pm

There is none. I wonder which author wrote that book.. Damn.. How many writing books do you read, anyway?

July 5, 2018 at 2:58 pm

I rarely read books about writing these days. At some point, there’s nothing new in them anymore. I prefer reading fiction.

clincher persuasive essay

July 4, 2018 at 10:32 pm

This is good Henneke. Really good. Like a 1 line summary of all you wrote about throughout the blog post. A home run sentence in many ways. If you can send off folks with an impact they will remember you.

July 5, 2018 at 12:08 pm

Yep, that’s it. And don’t forget that you can also summarize along the way (at the end of each section or paragraph) to keep readers on track.

clincher persuasive essay

July 4, 2018 at 10:07 pm

A timely post, Henneke. Thanks for the interesting examples. Now, do I add clinchers, cliffhangers or both? Let the editing begin. I do love your emails. ♡

July 5, 2018 at 12:05 pm

To choose my option, I try to read my post through the eyes of my ideal reader and imagine what’s the best way to guide her to her destination. My hunch is that it doesn’t matter so much what option we choose as long as we don’t let our message float and our articles fizzle out. Happy writing!

clincher persuasive essay

July 4, 2018 at 8:21 pm

Well, I now need to go back and rewrite the ending to almost everything! 😀 But thanks to you, I also know how. What a lovely gift your post always is! Thanks so much!

July 5, 2018 at 12:02 pm

I rarely go back to improve old posts. I bet that if I tried I’d could improve them quite a lot, but I find it’s so much more interesting to write a new post and it’s not possible to do it all.

Thank you for stopping by again, Katharine!

what I love best in your writing is the small summary with Henrietta … it sticks the info to my brain cells with a superglue. Thank you.

As usual Henneke – your sound advice just when I need it most. I’ve always had trouble finishing chapters and you’ve summed up the solution wonderfully. Thank you from very cold Sydney.

July 3, 2018 at 10:56 pm

That makes me happy, Paul. I love it when guidance arrives at the perfect moment. I hope you’re keeping warm despite the cold!

clincher persuasive essay

July 3, 2018 at 8:29 pm

What I love about thinking in terms of cliffhangers and clinchers is it challenges us as writers to be clear about the point we are trying to make, and the questions we want the reader to ask. It helps us shape the reader’s experience. You have such a gift for simplifying writing concepts!

July 3, 2018 at 10:55 pm

Yes, that’s so true! It about finding the best way to take our reader’s by the hand and guide him to his destination.

I did these but didn’t know what they were called. I need to always make sure I am using them. Thanks, Henneke for the education!

July 3, 2018 at 4:20 pm

I only recently learned that these sentences actually have a name. Hardly anyone seems to explain what these sentences are.

Happy writing!

clincher persuasive essay

July 3, 2018 at 2:28 pm

Lovely post and super educational too!

While, I might have written clincher sentences, unaware of the fact that they are that, your article gave a thorough lesson of this.

Ultimately, it now dawned on me that, writing and the world of literature has so much more into it that it almost feels like fantasy to live on and on.

July 3, 2018 at 4:19 pm

To be honest, I knew about the principle of writing final sentences for a long time, but I learned the phrase “clincher sentence” only recently.

Once you know about clincher sentences, it’s really interesting to pay attention to them and see which writers use them well and who don’t. Writing is so much fun because there’s always more to learn.

Thank you for stopping by, Swadhin. Good to see you again! 🙂

clincher persuasive essay

July 3, 2018 at 2:24 pm

Really useful post Henneke. I was scrambling through the words to see your clincher sentence and it didn’t disappoint!

The post reminds me of Stephen Covey’s “begin with the end in mind” habit which can apply to just about anything, including writing, and something I hadn’t thought about.

July 3, 2018 at 4:16 pm

Yes, great point about beginning with the end in mind. That is so true.

I paid even more attention to my clincher sentences than usually because I figured that people would pay more attention to them than usually. Walk the talk, eh? 😉

clincher persuasive essay

July 3, 2018 at 2:18 pm

Once again great advice! I was never quite sure how to end my blog posts. I’m afraid most of them just end with no real conclusion or summary. I’m always learning with each tidbit of writing instruction you give. Thank you.

July 3, 2018 at 4:13 pm

You’re not alone. Many bloggers don’t write endings, even on the biggest blogs. You may find this post useful, too: https://www.enchantingmarketing.com/how-to-write-closing-paragraphs/

Hi, Henneke,

Excellent information. I used this once without knowing it was a clincher sentence. To me it’s like preparing a nice dinner; add just enough seasoning or salt to give it that extra bit of kick before serving or enjoying.

Agai​​​n, excellent information, and so needed.

The best tip ever just like a bite-sized snack.

Thank you kindly,

clincher persuasive essay

July 3, 2018 at 3:07 pm

Love this clincher concept, Henneke. Along with a blog post or book section, would you use clinchers and cliffhangers in an ecourse as way to build anticipation and keep people engaged?

July 3, 2018 at 4:22 pm

Yes, it works for ecourses, too. Depending on how the course works, each lesson (or module) can have a cliffhanger to explain what you’ll learn in the next section, a takeaway (summary of the main learning points), and an action point (perhaps an assignment).

July 3, 2018 at 4:12 pm

So funny, I had been thinking about using a food metaphor, too. I was thinking of a dessert to finish of your meal. Perhaps cheese with a glass of red wine, or would you prefer a sorbet?

Thank you for your lovely comment, Becky. Keep seasoning your writing 🙂

What is a Clincher Statement?

A clincher statement is the final sentence or set of sentences in a paragraph, essay, report, or speech that reinforces the main idea and brings closure to the text. It serves to summarize the key points discussed and leaves the reader with something to ponder. A well-crafted clincher statement can effectively seal the message and make your writing memorable. Often, clincher statements can call the audience to action, provoke thought, or create a lasting impression.

What are Some Clincher Words?

Clincher words are specific terms or phrases commonly used to initiate clincher statements. These words signal to the reader that the text is drawing to a close, while emphasizing the essence of the discussion. Here are some clincher words commonly used:

  • In Summary : Used to encapsulate the main points.
  • Therefore : Implies a logical conclusion from the preceding information.
  • Hence : Similar to “therefore,” but often used to imply a more direct cause-and-effect relationship.
  • Finally : Indicates that the last and often most critical point is being made.
  • In Conclusion : Explicitly tells the reader that the end of the text has arrived.
  • Ultimately : Suggests the end result or final point in a chain of reasoning.
  • To Sum Up : Used to give a brief recap.
  • After all : Indicates a summary and emphasizes that all points have been considered.
  • All in All : Suggests a comprehensive summary has been provided.
  • Thus : Implies a wrapping-up of stated facts or observations.

What is a Clincher in a Speech Example?

In a speech, a clincher serves the same fundamental purpose as in written text—to sum up the message and leave a lasting impression. The difference lies in the oral delivery and the immediate audience engagement. Here’s an example of a clincher in a speech about climate change:

“Let’s not wait for the headlines to scream crisis; by then, it will be too late. As stewards of this Earth, it’s our collective responsibility to act now. The future of our planet depends on the choices we make today. Remember, we don’t have a Planet B.”

In this example, the speaker rounds off the discussion on climate change by emphasizing the urgency of the situation and calls the audience to action. The clincher also leaves the audience with something to ponder about—our shared responsibility for Earth’s future.

Clinchers are not mere summaries; they are your final shot at impressing your message upon your audience. A strong clincher will not only close your speech but also make it more impactful and memorable.

What are the Three Types of Clincher Sentences?

Clincher sentences can generally be categorized into three distinct types, each serving its own purpose:

  • Summary Clinchers : These clinchers restate the main points of your article or speech in a fresh way. They’re best suited for informational texts and serve to remind the audience of the essential aspects covered.
  • Call-to-Action Clinchers : These are designed to prompt an immediate reaction from the audience. They are often used in persuasive speeches or promotional materials, guiding the reader towards the next step, such as purchasing a product or engaging in social activism.
  • Thought-Provoking Clinchers : These types aim to make the audience ponder the subject even after they’ve finished reading or listening. Usually formulated as rhetorical questions, quotes, or future projections, they aim to continue the conversation in the minds of the audience.

What is the Purpose of a Clincher Sentence?

The purpose of a clincher sentence is multi-faceted. Firstly, it provides closure to your text or speech, rounding off the discussion neatly. Secondly, it amplifies the main idea, enhancing its impact and making it memorable. Lastly, depending on the type of clincher used, it can also drive action or provoke thought, thus extending the influence of your message beyond the immediate reading or listening experience.

How do you Write Clincher Sentences? – Step by Step Guide

  • Identify the Main Idea : Your clincher should reflect the core message of your text or speech. Make sure you know what that is before you start writing the clincher.
  • Select the Type : Decide whether you want your clincher to summarize, prompt action, or provoke thought.
  • Draft the Statement : Write a preliminary version. Aim for brevity but also for impact. Make every word count.
  • Review and Revise : Consider if the draft aligns with the main idea and whether it’s impactful. Edit for clarity, coherence, and concision.
  • Add a Clincher Word : Employ a clincher word or phrase as a signpost to indicate that this is the concluding statement.
  • Test for Effect : Read your clincher in the context of the entire text or speech to ensure it fits seamlessly and amplifies your core message.

Tips for Using Clincher Sentences

  • Be Consistent : Ensure that your clincher aligns with the overall tone and theme of your text or speech.
  • Avoid New Information : The clincher is not the place to introduce new points or arguments. Stick to what’s been covered.
  • Be Emotional : A touch of emotion can add a layer of relatability and make your clincher more memorable.
  • Use Repetition Wisely : A little repetition of key terms or phrases can make your clincher more impactful but use this technique sparingly.
  • Seek Feedback : Don’t hesitate to ask for opinions on your clincher. Sometimes, what seems clear to you may not be for others.
  • Practice Makes Perfect : The more you practice writing clinchers, the more naturally they will come to you. Each one is an opportunity to perfect your craft.

Clincher sentences are an essential tool for wrapping up your text or speech in a way that leaves a lasting impression. By understanding their types, purposes, and construction methods, you can significantly enhance the impact of your communication.

A Simple Guide to Understanding the Clincher Sentence With Examples

As a part of academic writing, a clincher sentence plays an important role in resolving the claims and theories laid in the preceding paragraph. In this article, we will look at what a clincher sentence is, its purpose, and a few examples to help understand their use.

Understanding the Clincher Sentence with Examples

Quick Tip It is important to note that, although the clincher sentence is the last statement of a paragraph, it should not bring attention to the fact that the essay is at an end by directly stating so. This is because, the conclusion of the essay will usually have to maintain a tone of credibility, which can be damaged by an unprofessional clincher.

A clincher sentence can be defined as a statement, argument, fact, situation, or the like, that is decisive or conclusive. In academic writing, this is a statement in a expository paragraph which reiterates the topic and summarizes how the information in the paragraph supports the topic. Normally, each paragraph starts with a topic sentence which tells the reader about what the paragraph will discuss. This is followed by the body which gives evidence and arguments that support the topic statement. The final sentence of each of these paragraphs are clincher sentences. The statement should not simply be a summary, but it should make the reader feel that the writing is complete.

If you want to write an effective paragraph, a clincher sentence at the end is a must. It wraps up the topic, provides closure, and concludes the writing. Its purpose is also to give the writer a chance to leave a strong impression on the reader.

Role of a Clincher Sentence

A clincher sentence should smoothly end the essay, keeping the needs of the reader in mind. The sentence should not restate the exact words, but should end a complicated topic in way that is easy to understand. Rather than just being a plain summary, it has to add value to the paragraph.

How to Write a Clincher Sentence

For starters, try beginning the concluding sentence with words such as ‘ultimately’ or ‘in conclusion’. Immediately following these words, the clincher sentence does state the topic statement one more time in new words, and broadens out the stance, before ending the paragraph. It is important that you maintain a professional tone, and make your stand on the topic absolutely clear without a trace of ambiguity. The clincher should reinforce and summarize the topic that you have written about in the preceding paragraph.

Another alternative is to ask the reader a question, or insert a quote, which is most likely to get a positive response towards a hypothesis being presented by the topic, or one can use shocking facts, rhetorical questions, humor, or an appeal to the reader, if it is appropriate for the paragraph. Using plain facts and numbers could make the reader bored. So make sure that the clincher is strong and packs a punch.

Example 1 : Topic: Seattle is a beautiful place.

Body Paragraph : The city of Seattle has a large number of picturesque locations, with a wide variety of environment, which makes the city a great place for photography, and draws a large number of tourists each year. For the best pictures, visit Pu Pu Point, Snoqualmie Falls, Columbia Tower, Beacon Hill, Gasworks Park, Seattle Central Library, Pioneer Square, amongst many others.

Clincher Sentence : It is clear from the immense number of scenic locales that are on offer, that Seattle is a memorable place that one must visit.

Example 2 : Topic: Pets help in detecting disease.

Body Paragraph : Pets reduce loneliness, they’re loyal, comfort us in tough times, and keep us happy. However, some animals seemingly perform miracles by predicting health problems and keeping their owners from dangerous situations. In California, a woman named Nancy Best noticed that her dog kept sniffing and licking her right breast. On consultation, doctors diagnosed her with breast cancer. In another case, a woman named Megan Johnson, who had type 1 diabetes, was woken up from her sleep by her dog several times when her sugar levels were dangerously low.

Clincher Sentence : With their extremely accurate senses, pets can be quite helpful in finding and alerting a person of illnesses before it becomes too late. 

As can be seen, with their high-impact nature, clincher sentences are a great method to end an essay or thesis.

How to Write a Clincher Sentence That’s Memorable

Clincher Sentences

Definition: A clincher sentence is a type of sentence used at the end of a final paragraph to reinforce your main idea and give your reader a sense of finality.

What Is a Clincher Sentence and Why Is It Needed?

A clincher sentence is a concluding sentence that reinforces your main idea to give your reader a sense of finality. However, it’s not a restatement of the exact words used to convey your main idea.

In fact, your clincher should be about a new and compelling spin that leaves a lasting impression on the reader, and helps improve the overall cohesion and flow of your writing.

Also, a clincher is as common in nonfiction as it is in fiction. From academic writing (where it’s typically contained in an expository paragraph) to a well written blog post (where it’s often followed with a call to action,) to writing essays.

Now, why is it needed?

A concluding paragraph without a clincher sentence will make your writing feel incomplete, rudderless, and perceived as amateurish.

Your reader will finish your piece and not remember what the point of your story was, making it forgettable.

So, let’s now look at what you need to know in order to write a memorable clincher.

How to Write a Clincher Sentence

how to write a clincher sentence

When it comes to writing a clincher, there are several principles that can help you craft effective and memorable endings.

For starters, in order to bring your writing to a conclusion that truly stands out, you need to be very clear yourself about what your central idea is.

You’d be surprised how many aspiring writers get lost in the writing process without stopping to consider if they’re actually carrying the main idea or key message through to a memorable conclusion.

Or perhaps, they’re pursuing multiple plot lines without picking one, which makes it virtually impossible to write a clincher.

When it comes to the writing itself, it’s important to be thoughtful and deliberate in your word choice, as well as being creative with the way you structure and format your clincher sentence.

For instance, you could use rhetorical techniques such as humor or irony to help make your last sentence more engaging for readers.

You might also consider including a thought-provoking quote at the end of your clincher sentence, which will leave your readers with something to think about.

With practice, you can become a master clincher writer!

Clincher Sentence Examples

Below, you’ll find some clincher examples to give you an idea about different ways a concluding sentence can be used to reel your reader in and leave them with a lasting impression.

You may find some examples to be thought-provoking, some reflective, and some humorous:

“In short, when one door closes, another one opens — just make sure it’s not a closet.”

“In the end, we only regret the chances we didn’t take.”

“Life is too short to waste time on things that don’t matter.”

“Take me as I am or watch me as I leave.”

“A moment of madness can sometimes lead to moments of brilliance.”

“You can’t control everything in life, but you can control your reaction to it.”

“In the midst of struggle and adversity, it can be easy to lose sight of your goals and dreams. But with commitment and determination, anything is possible.”

“As cliche as it may sound, nothing worth having ever comes easily. If you truly want to succeed in life, you have to be willing to work hard and persevere through any obstacles that come your way.”

Let now look at some tips from the pros.

Tips on How to Write a Clincher that’s Memorable

clincher sentence tips

Here are some tips to help you write clinchers that are both well-crafted and engaging:

Preparation

  • Start by being clear about the topics or themes that you want to convey in your writing, so you have a good idea of the main points you’ll want to highlight
  • When brainstorming ideas for a clincher sentence, try to come up with several options — don’t be married to the first idea that comes to mind
  • Pay attention to the overall structure of your article, ensuring that all the key points are summarized effectively in the closing sentence
  • If you’re struggling to come up with a good clincher sentence, consider revisiting the key points you covered in your article and try to come up with a sentence that summarizes them effectively

Writing Mechanics

  • Pay attention to the formatting and structure of your sentence, making sure that it transitions smoothly into the next section of your article or paragraph
  • Practice writing clinchers regularly in order to refine your skills and develop a strong sense of rhythm and pacing
  • Take the time to revise and edit your final sentence until it’s perfect. Since it contains the parting thoughts of your writing, make sure to spend the extra time polishing it
  • Your clincher needs to be concise and easy to understand, so straight to the point without adding unnecessary fluff or filler words
  • Be deliberate and thoughtful in your word choice, choosing language and concepts that resonate with your target audience
  • Use figurative language or rhetorical techniques such as humor, irony, or suspense to make your clincher sentence more engaging for your readers

Finishing Touches

Final Thoughts on Clincher Sentences

Writing a well thought-out clincher sentence is an essential part of successful writing, so take your time to craft it well and make sure it resonates with your readers.

To set your expectations, a strong concluding sentence will take you a lot longer to come up with than the average sentence in a typical body paragraph. However, the extra effort will pay off big time with your audience.

Whether you’re looking to improve your clincher sentence writing skills or simply want to learn more about how they work, I hope the above tips and examples can help guide you along the way.

Sales Letters: Four Point Action Closing

OWL logo

Welcome to the Purdue OWL

This page is brought to you by the OWL at Purdue University. When printing this page, you must include the entire legal notice.

Copyright ©1995-2018 by The Writing Lab & The OWL at Purdue and Purdue University. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, reproduced, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed without permission. Use of this site constitutes acceptance of our terms and conditions of fair use.

Securing Action

Having convinced your reader that your product or service is worth the price, you want to get action before the reader has a change of mind, before forgetfulness defeats you, before the money goes for something else—before any of the things that could happen do happen. Therefore, a good persuasive closing is essential.

A good action closing—or clincher—should include the following four points:

  • clearly state what action you wish the reader to take.
  • make that action easy through facilitating devices and careful wording.
  • date the action—if possible and appropriate.
  • provide a reader benefit as stimulus for action.

1) Clearly State What Action You Wish The Reader To Take

Should the reader order your product or service? Call your office to set up an appointment? Fill out a form? Visit a local dealership or store to see a demonstration? Invite the visit of a sales representative? On finishing your letter, your reader should know just exactly what you want done and how it should be done.

At times, you may have to name two actions and ask the reader to take one or the other. If you possibly can, avoid doing so. Some people faced with a choice resolve their dilemma by doing nothing.

2) Make That Action Easy Through Facilitating Devices And Careful Wording

Facilitating devices: order blanks, order cards, and postcards or envelopes already addressed and requiring no postage—remove some of the work in taking action. Also, your phone number (with area code and extension) are useful if you want the reader to call you. Finally, state your office hours and location if you want the reader to come to see you in person. References to these facilitating devices—preferably directing the reader to use them—reassure the reader that what you are asking is simple and requires little time and effort.

Careful wording: through careful wording, you can also emphasize that what you are asking the reader to do is simple. "Write and let us know your choice" suggests more work than "Check your color choice on the enclosed card." "Jot down," "just check," "simply initial" are also examples of wording that suggest ease and rapidity in doing something. Such wording helps reduce reader reluctance to take action.

3) Date The Action—If Possible And Appropriate

Name the date whenever you need the reader's response by a certain time. Tactfully tell the reader why you need it then—perhaps to meet the deadline for a sale.

4) Provide A Reader Benefit As Stimulus For Action

Always mention some benefit(s) the reader will gain by prompt action. Such a reminder of the desirability of your product or service—some- times called a clincher—comes appropriately at the ending of your letter. It not only provides motivation for the reader, but it also has decided psychological value as well because it emphasizes service attitude—rather than the greed stressed if you end with dollars and cents talk or the mechanics of ordering.

You should always include elements 1, 2, and 4 of the four point action closing when you are writing a letter relating to sales. You should use dated action, item 3, ONLY when it is appropriate for your writing situation.

Some examples of closing paragraphs follow. Determine whether or not they include all elements of the four point action closing needed for a tactful, yet persuasive letter ending.

  • Mr. J. B. Nickle, our Memphis representative, will be glad to call at a time convenient for you. Fill out and mail the enclosed postcard, and he will come to your home and explain how your Stair Traveler can make your daily living more pleasurable.
  • You can begin to enjoy the unusual reception of a famous Foremost set by placing your order now.
  • Call our toll-free number, or mail the enclosed postcard indicating a day and time convenient for our representative to visit you. He'll give you a list of SIB users in the Lafayette area and explain additional advantages of using Superior's Ice Breaker. You can then order your winter's supply and join more than 150,000 apartment and industrial firms who have used SIB for ice-free parking lots.
  • If you have any technical questions concerning our products, please call us toll free at (800) 555-9525 and ask for Technical Service. Our staff will be pleased to lend whatever assistance they can.

How to Write the Conclusion for a Persuasive Essay

Erin Martise

Writing a Conclusion for a Persuasive Essay

Some high school and college students assume the body paragraphs are all that matter in an essay. However, an argument will fall flat if it does not end with a strong conclusion -- especially when your intent is to persuade. A good conclusion summarizes the points you made earlier and also makes the reader want to act in response to the paper. Occasionally, this includes the thesis statement in the conclusion paragraph, as well as new points of view for larger observations. Keeping the reader’s attention should be important to include, especially in the first sentence of the conclusion, as well as in the first paragraph, the introductory paragraph, of the essay.

The last thing you may include in a conclusion could be your main points of the essay summarized in a new way. Academic writing, especially for these essays, includes knowing what to include for the body of the paper, topic sentences, a sense of closure, restatement of main points, key points of research or insight, main arguments supported by details and context, and an effective conclusion or concluding paragraph. An essay conclusion is essential for readers to fully comprehend what you are writing your persuasive or argumentative essay about.

Describe the Stakes

According to Purdue University’s Online Writing Lab, begin with a reminder. Let the reader know what will happen if nothing is done to resolve the issue in your argument. Reuse a particular statistic or an example you used earlier. If, to get the reader interested, you started your persuasive essay on drunk driving with the story of a mother and children who were killed by a drunk driver, begin the conclusion by referring back to that family.

Summarize Your Position

Briefly restate your position. Touch on the highlights of your argument, and show how your essay resolves or addresses the issue. Waterford Union High School advises students to restate the thesis and summarize all of the main points from the body paragraphs. For example, if you're writing a persuasive essay that argues that legal consequences for drunk driving are too lenient, emphasize key evidence you introduced in the body -- such as the percent of offenders that go on to drive under the influence again.

Clincher: Call to Action

End by arming your readers with specific actions they can take based on the information you have just provided. To encourage stronger penalties for drunk driving, for example, you might ask readers to put pressure on the legislature to create change. As a final note, consider using a quote related to the topic or show how your position relates to a broader issue, according to the Harvard College Writing Center. Ending with a prediction of how the situation will improve if people follow your advice in the paper is another commonly recommended practice.

Problems to Avoid

Avoid these common pitfalls to make your conclusion stand out. The Writing Center at Harvard recommends to not begin this section or paragraph with a phrase like “in conclusion” or “to conclude." Though transitions are important in persuasive writing in general, these tend to be overused.

Make sure your final paragraph does more than just summarize your position. Remember, if you only explain why you hold a certain belief, you are not writing an argument or persuasive essay. You must cause some change in the reader to be successful with this assignment.

Finish with a Memorable Clincher

Printed Page 297

Finish your conclusion with a clincher , something that leaves a lasting impression of your speech in your listeners’ minds. Once your speech ends, audience members will have countless demands on their time and attention. To make your presentation memorable, select and word your clincher carefully.

The clincher should take up only about thirty seconds in a five- to ten-minute speech. Rock musicians have been known to smash their guitars at the end of a show to leave a lasting impression. We would not recommend such mayhem in a speech, but there are a number of less destructive strategies you can use to make your speech memorable. Following are several ways to craft a good clincher.

Tie Your Clincher to the Introduction If you began your speech with a compelling anecdote or example, consider extending it in your clincher. One speech asking audience members to serve as volunteer tutors began with the story of Hector, a twelve-year-old at risk of dropping out of school because he had fallen behind. The presenter effectively touched again on Hector’s story in her clincher:

Remember Hector, the boy who was on the verge of dropping out in sixth grade? Ana, a student at this university, became his tutor and role model. Today, Hector has a B average in high school and has applied to several colleges. There are many more Hectors in our local schools, and your help as a tutor will make sure that there is a happy ending to their stories, too.

image

End with a Striking Sentence or Phrase. There may be a single sentence or phrase that effectively sums up your speech. Advertisers and political campaign managers often use this technique because the words are easy to remember. For example, an advertiser refers to a product as “the one,” or a campaign manager describes his candidate as possessing “the right stuff for the job.” We do not recommend ending your speech with a trivial phrase or a catchy tune. However, do consider using memorable, relevant phrasing to conclude your speech.

A speech about Hmong history effectively concluded with a theme that had been evident in each main point:

The name Hmong means “free.” And no matter what continent we are living on, that is what we will always be—a free people.

Also, consider Manal al-Sharif, a Saudi women’s-rights activist who was jailed after posting a YouTube video showing her driving a car. (Women are forbidden from getting driver’s licenses in Saudi Arabia.) She used the following clincher in a speech to the Oslo Freedom Forum:

The struggle is not about driving a car. It is about being in the driver’s seat of our destiny. 8

Highlight Your Thesis. Rather than summing up your speech with a single key sentence, you may decide to use a few lines to reinforce the heart of your message. Consider an example from Sally Ride, the first American woman in space (who, incidentally, was awarded a posthumous Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2013). After ending her career as an astronaut, Dr. Ride became a dedicated advocate for improving math and science education for kids. Here is how she concluded her speech “Shoot for the Stars”:

When I was a little girl, I always dreamed of flying in space. And amazingly enough (I still cannot believe it to this day), that dream came true for me. Now it is up to all of us to ensure that this generation of students in school today has access to a high quality education so the boys and the girls can build the foundation that will enable them to reach for the stars and achieve their dreams too. 9

Conclude with an Emotional Message. Recall a speech or presentation that ended by appealing to your emotions. If you’re like most people, that speech left more of an impact on you than a speech that used only cold hard facts. Often, a clincher that delivers an emotional charge makes a speech particularly memorable—especially in a persuasive or commemorative presentation. For example, one student concluded a tribute to a beloved pet in the following way:

My mind flooded with memories: finding him as a tiny kit and nursing him to health with my own hands. He became my best friend. I let him go lovingly, with the same arms that held him fast as a baby. Good-bye, my friend—I’ll never forget you.

image

End with a Story or an Anecdote. A story that illustrates the message of your speech can make an effective clincher. Consider the following anecdote about Albert Einstein that a student used as her clincher in a speech advocating greater efforts to raise students’ self-esteem and prevent them from dropping out:

Over one hundred years ago, there was a boy who was considered “backward” by his teachers. They said the boy was mentally slow and adrift forever in his foolish dreams. His father said that when he asked the headmaster what profession his son should adopt, he was told, “It doesn’t matter; he’ll never make a success of anything.” 10

Who was that hopeless student? Believe it or not, his name was Albert Einstein. We must never give up on the mind of a child. Educators must convince every student that he or she is valued and capable of learning. Even one dropout is unacceptable.

Tips on the Hook Statement in Persuasive Writing

Michael stratford, 26 sep 2017.

Hook readers with a startling and engaging opening statement.

The "hook" statement in persuasive writing is the phrase that grabs your readers and keeps them engaged in the argument you present. There are a number of hooks you can use in persuasive essays; all are engaging, and all are attention-getting. However, before selecting one, you should carefully consider the audience you want to persuade.

Explore this article

  • The Serious Hook: Your Words
  • The Serious Hook: Another's Words
  • Lighter Hooks
  • Your Introduction

1 The Serious Hook: Your Words

The audience you are addressing decides in large part what kind of hook you will use to grab attention. It's important that the tones of your hook and essay match, and that your hook supports your main argument. With a persuasive piece that addresses a serious problem, with no room for light humor, the hook should be a startling fact or statistic: "Twenty innocent children died in the horrific killings at Sandy Hook Elementary School, and yet not one new gun control law has been enacted as yet." Your sober, serious topic is clear and inescapable.

2 The Serious Hook: Another's Words

If your audience will respond to a person of authority, a serious quote or statement from another is an excellent hook if it connects well to your persuasive thesis. For example, you might begin, "Derek Bok once said, 'If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.'" If you follow this quote with a thesis that explores the deplorable physical state of schools nationwide, and you offer solutions to the problem, your readers are likely to be hooked. You have presented them with a simple formula -- education versus ignorance -- that will be easy for a wide range of audiences to understand.

3 Lighter Hooks

An excellent all-purpose hook, particularly if you're not sure of your audience, is an engaging question: "If your computer were permanently shut off tomorrow, would you do something else with your life or just stare at the screen?" Your essay's thesis can then discuss excessive Internet use in people's lives. Hyperbole -- that is, exaggeration -- works well as a hook too: "Do you hear the scraping, the groaning, the sounds of stumbling hooves, the moos and bleats? It's our student body, heading to a too-short, too-crowded lunch." Now your essay can discuss school lunch problems.

4 Your Introduction

The use of a hook simplifies the construction of your introductory paragraph. The hook immediately sets the tone of the essay and points the way to the problem your essay will address. Your thesis should follow in the next sentence if possible. This two-sentence opener will be brief and engaging, and it will draw the reader into the body of your essay, your argument.

Family Style Schooling

Strengths of IEW & LTW

My purpose isn't to really compare these two programs. They are both fantastic. Since they target different skills in writing, it's good to identify the strengths of both and look to see how you can line them up together to help your student strengthen their writing.

IEW Strengths:

When I first started homeschooling, IEW saved my relationship with my son! As a new homeschooler, I had some serious misconceptions about what my son should be able to come up with on his own. He struggled with coming up with ideas, and IEW saved us by offering sources to use as he learned to write. All of my kids have enjoyed learning to write with structure and style with IEW.

LTW Strengths:

As we moved into Challenge A and middle school writing, I loved that LTW offered tools for cultivating ideas of our own. Breaking the writing process down into the three main problems writers face, LTW builds specific skills of generating thoughts, arranging ideas, and expressing understanding. The persuasive essay provides a structure that can be used for debate as well.

Both of these writing programs are tools for teachers to use. If your student learned stylistic techniques from IEW, there is no reason they can't continue using them in their LTW writing. Here are three simple IEW skills that easily cross over into LTW writing.

1. Stylistic Checklists

My son's favorite part of IEW was using the stylistic checklists to check his writing at the end. Make a checklist for them like you do in IEW. How many sentence openers or dress-ups do you want in each paragraph?

clincher persuasive essay

Here's what happens when you don't ask for any of the IEW dress-ups or sentence openers. Let's look at this example.

The thesis for the argument is: Nat should have signed up to sail as the clerk on the Henry for three reasons: he acquired a good education, he received an easy job, and he became an excellent teacher.   The outline for the first proof looks something like this:

  • he could bring his study books
  • figured out lunars while sailing
  • honorary degree at Harvard

When beginner students try to transfer this outline to paragraph form, it generally reads something like this:

The first reason Nat should have signed up to sail as the clerk on the Henry is that he acquired a good education. He could bring his study books. He figured out lunars while sailing. He earned an honorary degree at Harvard. 

Sometimes, it's even rougher than that. I've seen students take their three sub proofs and combine them into one sentence with commas like this:

The first reason Nat should have signed up to sail as the clerk on the Henry is that he acquired a good education. He could bring his study books, figure out lunars, and earn an honorary degree at Harvard.

While they need to keep the first sentence of their paragraph uniform to fit the LTW structure, the sub proof section allows room for the sentence openers and dress-ups students learned in IEW.  Here's what the paragraph could look like if just the sentence openers were varied:

The first reason Nat should have signed up to sail as the clerk on the Henry is that he acquired a good education. Fortunately, he could bring his study books. While sailing, he figured out lunars. In the end, he earned an honorary degree at Harvard. 

Give them a checklist for how they could enhance each paragraph, and you'll see their writing improve substantially. At this point, there aren't enough sentences in each paragraph to require one of each of the sentence openers. Your checklist point can just be something like this:

  • Paragraph does not contain two of the same sentence openers in a row.

They should start breaking away from the checklist as their writing skills improve. This just reminds them that they know how to improve a paragraph from something basic to something beautiful.

2. Tell the Story

The outline is bare bones for a reason. This gives the writer room to add some interest in their writing. Encourage your students to imagine writing out the evidence of their main proof to a person who doesn’t know the story (their audience). Fill in the gaps  by asking those basic questions you learn in IEW Unit 7 - Writing from your brain : How? When? Where? Why? This helps them fluff up their explanations from the basic bullet point they wrote down on their ANI. 

clincher persuasive essay

When you add in the details of the story, the paragraph grows a bit and can look something like this:

The first reason Nat should have signed up to sail as the clerk on the Henry is that he acquired a good education. Since Nat really loved to learn, Capitan Prince let him bring his study books during the long months at sea. When Nat would stand watch, he figured out a new way to solve lunars, which is finding your location based on the position of the moon and stars. Eventually he earned an honorary degree from Harvard.

You can really start to see this paragraph taking shape. I didn't even add that much more information, but it reads better and people who haven't read the book might be able to track with the ideas now.

3. Topic Clincher Rule

One of my favorite tools in IEW is the topic clincher rule. This concept helped me solidify my understanding on the purpose of a paragraph. When you start the paragraph with a topic sentence, you focus your paragraph on one idea. The clincher helps remind the reader of the topic after you've worked through your thoughts.

This works very well in LTW writing as well as it is a way to  remind your reader/listener of the main proof at the end of that proof’s paragraph.

The first reason Nat should have signed up to sail as the clerk on the Henry is that he acquired a good education . Since Nat really loved to learn, Capitan Prince let him bring his study books during the long months at sea. When Nat would stand watch, he figured out a new way to solve lunars, which is finding your location based on the position of the moon and stars. Eventually he earned an honorary degree from Harvard because of all that he learned at sea .

I love this! Thank you!!!

' data-src=

Where can I get a checklist?

' data-src=

Because each student is so unique, I just make a checklist following Andrew Pudewa’s formula of easy + 1. What that means is I put things on their checklist that I know they know how to use, and then I add one thing to challenge them. Our checklist is generally scribbled on the side of the outline. It is not very formal but it does the trick!

' data-src=

Fabulous! Thank you 🙂

' data-src=

Thank you so much! This is a wonderful way to spice up the LTW essays and continue practicing the IEW skills. ❤️

You’re welcome!

' data-src=

This is very helpful thank you! I was sitting here with my son and his second essay thinking “essay 1 was very rudimentary but now what?” My son is miles ahead in his writing skills and I felt like LTW was dumbing it down for him- thanks for encouraging us to continue pressing forward with dressing up his writing.
