75% of visitors that land on your PDP bounce. That’s 3 out of 4 potential customers, gone. Why? Because most sites make visitors do the work: • Finding key product details • Figuring out why it’s worth buying • Searching for trust signals before committing But shoppers shouldn’t have to think. They should instantly believe you’re the right solution. In this post I'll be sharing a comprehensive guide of 12 changes you can do to your PDP to highlights benefits and convert shoppers.  1. Show key concerns your product solves. Keep them as a badge and place it above the product title. Gets them interested from the top of the page.       2. Highlight who is this product for. Place this under the product title. Important for skincare, personal care websites.       3. Highlight the quantity they get for the price they pay. This cab be grams, litres, days of supply.       4.  Add a badge like "Best seller", "Most loved". Do this where it's relevant. This builds confidence in their purchase decision.       5. Add the results the product has driven. This can be for other customers or the result of a clinical study you have conducted.       6. Show image thumbnails. The image gallery is the fastest way to tell what's in your product, how to use it, when to use it. Get them to scroll through it.       7. Highlight 3-5 key benefits of the product. Keep this in 1 line and have them in bullets or with icons.       8. Tell WHY is your product effective. In this example, I've added an ingredients section to explain that.       9. Keep add-to-cart as the primary CTA. And not buy now. This is relevant for skincare websites since you can cross-sell other products in this routine.      10. Optimize the area around the add to cart. Highlight shipping time, free shipping, where you ship.      11. Motivate purchase with samples or free gifts on orders. Shopper should spend $X to avail this. Increasing your AOV while delighting the shopper.      12. Add a cross-sell. Like 'Complete this routine', 'Complete this look'. Show which products go well with this one. Make it easy to add to cart from this page.      Other changes I did: • Removed auto slide from the announcement bar • Added breadcrumbs to help navigate to parent category (reduces bounce rate from PDPs) • Underlined reviews and added the review count. What’s one PDP change that made a difference for you? Drop it in the comments. P.S. If your product has not clinically proven to solve a problem, don’t mention it. The goal isn’t just one purchase. It’s about building a brand that lasts. One that's trusted and gets repeat buyers. Not one that dilutes its name for short-term sales.

A year ago, I was that guy—writing copy that sounded like a university thesis. Buzzwords, jargon, and enough fluff to fill a pillow factory. My readers? Confused. My conversions? Nonexistent. Then I stumbled upon brands like Moosejaw and BarkBox. Their copy felt like a friend texting me, not a robot pitching me. That’s when I realized: conversational copy isn’t just “casual.” It’s strategic. It builds trust, makes you memorable, and (most importantly) gets results. Here’s how brands like these taught me to write copy that clicks with people: Conversational copywriting is all about writing like you're talking—no jargon, no sales-y pitch. But how do you nail it? Here’s a guide based on brands that get it right. Thread 🧵 1/ Moosejaw Fun and quirky copy that hooks you instantly. Examples: ✔️ “We love NFTs (Nacho Fun Times).” ✔️ “Remember to season your concrete after shoveling snow.” ✔️ “No, our website isn’t powered by hamsters in wheels… yet.” Takeaway: Don't be afraid to let your personality shine—it’s what makes people remember you. 2/ BarkBox What do they sell? Adorable joy for dogs. ✔️ They use relatable humor + 100% satisfaction guarantees. ✔️ They speak their audience's language—dog parents, not just dog owners. Takeaway: Know your audience. Write for them, not at them. 3/ Innocent Drinks Natural products, natural tone. ✔️ They use ultra-specific details like “botanical” to emphasize quality. ✔️ They lean on transparency to eliminate buyer anxiety. Takeaway: Be real, and get specific—your audience will trust you more. 4/ OkCupid DTF? They redefine it. ✔️ Their copy flips expectations. ✔️ They invite users to define their version of dating. Takeaway: Play with cultural norms to create an emotional connection. 5/ Gymit Copy that feels like a casual gym chat. ✔️ They make gyms approachable—not intimidating. ✔️ The honesty in their tone makes them relatable to everyone, not just fitness buffs. Takeaway: Use language that removes barriers for your audience. 6/ Lego Timeless yet relevant. ✔️ Nostalgia meets values. ✔️ One ad paired a retro toy with a modern message about equality. Takeaway: Tie your brand’s history with current values to create powerful storytelling. Conversational copy isn’t magic—it’s empathy. Think: What would your audience actually want to hear? Then say that.

Most people don’t trust brands that ask for trust. They trust brands that demonstrate it. If you find yourself saying “trust us” in your marketing, pause. That phrase usually appears when trust hasn’t been earned yet. What actually builds trust • Proof over promises • Transparency over perfection • Other people’s voices over self-promotion • Education before selling This is especially important for consultants, founders, and service businesses. Your audience is watching quietly, they decide long before they enquire. If your content is doing the four things above, trust is already being built. No slogans required. Save this if you’re refining your positioning. And if trust is the gap between interest and enquiries, that’s the part worth fixing. 💖 💙

Ever wonder why some brands grab our attention, and our hearts so easily? It’s not because they’re rattling off endless bullet points. It’s because they transform specs into stories. Consider the difference: 2GB of storage → 500 songs in your pocket 12MP camera → Every moment in cinematic detail 300-mile range → Explore the open road with no pit stops It’s the same product feature, but the moment you reframe the specification in a way that resonates through a story, people see the real benefit. WHY STORIES OUTSHINE SPECS IN BRAND BUILDING? 1. Emotional hook Numbers tell us 'what', stories show us 'why'. When a brand says “2GB,” you might nod. But say “500 songs in your pocket,” and you feel the possibility - road trips, commutes, a soundtrack to your life. 2. Memorability Specs fade fast. People forget the exact storage size or processing speed. Stories stick. They leave an emotional mark that data alone can’t replicate. 3. Human context Consumers rarely buy on specs alone. They buy the lifestyle, the experience, and the feeling. Show what these features mean in real life. HOW TO TURN SPECS INTO STORIES? 1. Speak their language Instead of “20MP camera,” try “Bring family reunions to life” 2. Paint the scene Don’t just mention “fast charging”, say “A quick 15-minute charge before dinner, so you can stream your favorite show uninterrupted.” 3. Tap into emotions Think about how that feature makes someone’s day easier, happier, or more memorable. THE TAKEAWAY In brand building, stories create the emotional connection specs alone can’t achieve. It’s not that features aren’t important - they are! But the narrative behind those features is what truly lodges in a customer’s mind and nudges them toward a decision. Remember, data points are forgettable, stories are not. ------------------------------------------------- 💬 Let me know what you think 👉 Follow Anand Sankaranarayanan for brand stories & strategies 🔗 Share this if it's helpful! -------------------------------------------------- #brand #marketing #strategy

Your audience is smarter than you think I once read a SaaS landing page that explained what a calendar was. Not the product. A calendar. By the third sentence, I had already lost trust. That’s the trap so many companies fall into. But here’s the truth. Your audience is: - Intelligent - Busy - Already exposed to a hundred pitches They know when you are filling space instead of saying something useful. And the second they feel talked down to, you lose them. The copy that works takes a different approach. It: 1. Respects the reader’s context 2. Speaks to what they actually care about 3. Makes them feel understood instead of lectured If you want your copy to resonate, try this checklist: 1. Lead with insight, not fluff 2. Talk about real challenges, not surface-level symptoms 3. Use specifics because vague always fades away 4. Edit for clarity, not cleverness Prospects do not need to be convinced. They need to feel understood. So write as if you are speaking to someone smart across the table. Because you are.

Most biotech founders don’t fail because their ideas are bad. They fail because their messaging never stood a chance. Not because they didn’t “communicate benefits” clearly. They wrote posts that ignored how people think. As a founder, you’re used to facts, logic, and evidence. But your audience doesn’t read your LinkedIn post like a peer-reviewed paper. They skim. → They filter. → They fill in the blanks. → Then they forget. The Cognitive Bias Codex is one of the best tools I’ve found for writing posts that work with these patterns, rather than against them. Here’s how to apply it: 1️⃣ Catch attention (Too much info): People are overloaded. You need contrast. → Use the bizarreness effect. Start with something unexpected. → Use the Von Restorff effect. Make one idea visually or conceptually stand out. → Use confirmation bias. Start with what your audience believes, then challenge it. 💡 Instead of “Our study shows a 12% increase,” try: “Most device teams think 40% uptake is the limit. Ours hit 52%.” 2️⃣ Build trust (Not enough meaning): People fill gaps with stories. Give them the right one. → Use the narrative bias. Share a decision, failure, or conversation. → Use the halo effect. Mention credible names or data sources. → Break stereotypes. Show something they didn’t expect. 💡 “We thought this device wouldn’t work in elderly patients. It did.” 3️⃣ Prompt action (Need to act fast): Your reader is scrolling. You need to interrupt the autopilot. → Use loss aversion. Show the cost of ignoring your insight. → Use the sunk cost fallacy. Highlight why clinging to outdated methods hurts. → Use the availability heuristic. Reference a recent news item or post. 💡 “Still relying on 2022 data to plan your 2025 trial?” 4️⃣ Boost recall (What do we remember?): You don’t need to be memorable to everyone. Just to the right people. → Use the peak-end rule. Start strong. End clear. → Repeat key phrases. → Tell stories where the smart choice looks obvious in hindsight. 💡 “We bet on the unpopular strategy. It paid off in 3 months.” Most content tries to sound smart. The best content works with how people think. 👉 Which part of the Codex feels most relevant to your work right now? 💬 Let's discuss in the comments. ♻️ Repost for others. ---- 👋 Hi, I'm Sébastien, Founder of Mywebtechcare®.

𝗔𝗱 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝟮 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵 𝘮𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 In Norway, we are running one of the world’s largest cross-platform neuromarketing studies. The MediaHub project has tested thousands of participantd and tons of ad campaigns across social media, banners, video on demand, cinema, audio, and several other formats using EEG, eye-tracking, implicit tests, and memory measures. The newest results are striking: 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙖𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙜𝙚 𝙖𝙙 𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙞𝙣 𝙙𝙞𝙜𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙡 𝙚𝙣𝙫𝙞𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝙝𝙖𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙛𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙤 𝟭.𝟵 𝙨𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙙𝙨. Back in 2018, our research showed that attention had dropped to 𝟯.𝟰 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝘀. A couple of years ago, it reached 𝟮.𝟮 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝘀. The downward trend continues. But what is often missed is the 𝘷𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦. It is not that all ads perform poorly. It is that 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝗱𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁, and the difference is not random. Across every platform we tested, more than 90 percent of the variation in attention was driven by the creative itself. Platform matters, but the creative matters far more. This means the first two seconds are no longer a stylistic choice. They are the entire window in which the brain decides whether you are relevant or ignorable. 𝗦𝗼 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮 𝗳𝗲𝘄 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗱𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁: 1. 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆. Signal who you are or the core intention of the ad from the very beginning. 2. 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲. The brain anchors meaning early, not later. 3.

When cognitive load is high, people abandon even interesting messages. 5. 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆. Sub-second emotional cues help the brain decide whether to lean in or scroll past. 6. 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁. Most of the drop-off happens on smaller screens with constrained visual bandwidth. 7. 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁-𝗯𝘆-𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁.

Nothing loses a customer FASTER than content that feels purely rational. You feel it instantly. A post starts listing benefits… and then the connection kinda just… disappears. Ingredients. Claims. Features. All technically correct, but also emotionally empty. And honestly? THAT’s the problem. We’re in a moment where consumers want more information than ever. They WANT to understand ingredients. They WANT to know why things work. They WANT transparency. ….but the thing is: information on its own doesn’t connect. It only really lands when it feels MEANINGFUL. So the real challenge isn’t what you explain. It’s HOW you bring it to life. Here’s what turns logical content into something people a c t u a l l y care about: 1. Start with the emotion, not the explanation. Make people feel something before you teach them anything. 2. Humanise the information Explain ingredients like you would to a friend. People connect when they understand. 3. Tie every educational point to the bigger world of your brand The ingredient isn’t just “Niacinamide.” It’s: → the moment in someone’s routine → the feeling you want them to have Education becomes identity when you anchor it in meaning. 4. Be transparent without overpromising Transparency builds trust faster than any hero claim ever will. Bring real results, reviews and faces. When education feels honest AND human, people lean in. Because that’s the truth about content today: People crave information, but they connect through emotion.

You are using hooks all wrong. (Deceiving the audience is never the way) I've analyzed 5000+ posts and noticed something disturbing: Authenticity is being sacrificed for attention. - Writing fake numbers, - false promises, and - outrageous claims It might get you clicks... But a hooked audience is not the same as a sold audience. Here are 7 honest hook techniques that build TRUST: 1. Hope Hook (that you can actually deliver on) Share genuine inspiration without overpromising results 2. Reality Hook (not the overused "Lie Hook") Start with an uncomfortable truth that resonates with your audience 3. Bold Statement Hook (instead of Audacious/False claims) Make a powerful claim you can confidently back up 4. Opportunity Hook (not manipulative FOMO) Highlight real value without manufacturing scarcity 5. Timely Hook (more authentic than "This day" fabrications) Connect to current events or seasons when relevant 6. Audience-Specific Hook (more targeted than generic "For you") Address a specific pain point your ideal client actually experiences 7. Pattern-Interrupt Hook (instead of odd/weird claims) Start conversations differently without resorting to deception I write my hooks in two lines. This technique is called 'Double Hooks.' Double hooks ensure the attention you capture transitions smoothly into your content body while maintaining trust. Check this post out. Has a double hook, too. P.S. - What honest hook technique resonates most with you? P.P.S. - Would you like me to elaborate on any specific technique?
