French translation:rédaction [or texte or écrit]
Explanation:
The context suggests that this means "copy" as in advertising copy or copywriting. In other words, text/prose/content written for the business. It's most often used in a marketing sense ("website copy," etc.), or for standard letters/emails (e.g. ones you send to all new members). You wouldn't say "copy" if you were talking about the text in a patent application or a contract.
