Enlarge words that convey an emotion

Pretty self explanatory, but the larger the word is in comparison to the rest of the text, the more likely the customer is to read it

& the more likely they are to take it for any significance, therefore provoking an emotion

EMOTIONS SELL
For markets which are popular and saturated, an emotional appeal will create a fresh perspective

You want to make the customer feel like they aren’t the first, and that they will just be jumping on the trend

People love jumping on trends
Really interesting one

The majority of people are right handed, right?

Therefore in your creatives you want to appeal to the majority.

People are much more likely to imagine themselves using the product when it encourages their mental interaction (when it relates to them)
Another way of doing this is showing the product in use

When the products is in use, it hits home with people

The goal is to encourage mental interaction

It’s SUPER powerful

Once somebody imagines themselves using the product

BOOM

The chances of them converting skyrocket
Another super simple, yet effective tactic

As humans, we experience an inborn tendency to follow people’s gazes

That trait helped our ancestors discover threats more easily

Have the model face towards what you want the customer to interact with (CTA burton, important text etc)
For certain niches (beauty & makeup), use attractive models to depict products

However be careful, If you use an attractive model to sell a toaster, people know that you’re trying to persuade them

So they’ll experience psychological reactance and fight your persuasion attempt
What happens when you see the same ad LOADS?

You get annoyed & you want to skip it ASAP

If you’re studying for an exam, you should study in increments, rather than cram the night before

You encode and retrieve the information more effectively

The same goes with advertising
Both statements are essentially the same, but one will convert WAY better.

Why?

Rhymes subtly create a pleasant sensation.

People will then misattribute that pleasantness to your call-to-action, and they’ll experience a stronger desire to complete it -> increasing your CR
Researchers have confirmed that long & thin fonts appear much more beautiful

In most countries, beauty is sadly associated with being tall and skinny

That’s the “standard” for beauty, therefore if your copy uses skinny fonts, the surrounding stimuli seems much more beautiful
Due to that neuroanatomical structure, your right hemisphere processes information presented towards the right of an advertisement much more clearly

The majority of customers will skim read your copy, therefore making it much easier for them to process & digest
Things which are seen as blurry and slanted are associated with things which are fast & quick

Use this to your advantage

Slant (Italicise) your phrases which are demonstrating something you want to be empthasised as fast:

- your shipping times
- your customer service team
What happens when someone says something negative?

It stays with you , it plays on your mind

Use this to your advantage

People devote more processing resources to negatively framed ads and pay more attention, which often sparks thoughtless behavior
