• When you are in a good mood
• When your world view no longer makes sense
• When you can take action immediately
• When you feel indebted because of a favour
• Immediately after you have made a mistake
• Immediately after you have denied a request

Customer Engagement and 10 Tips for Online Persuasion
Ten tips for
online Persuasion
Are your headlines failing?
1. Engage you audience
      7% click through
2. Do you want to engage your audience?
      11% click through
3. Are you failing to engage your best
   customers?
      14% click through
Do you have social proof?
                                    “I think you’re great”

“I think you’re great”
              “I think you’re great”

“I think you’re great”
                         “I think you’re great”
“I think you’re great”
                            “I think you’re great”

                     “I think you’re great”
Make them feel proud


          The first,
          the last,
          the best
          and the rarest?
Exploit a thank you?
Set their alarm clock

         Provide reasons
         to return (regularly)
Use your authority

           Show off
           your status
The power of the portrait
More than just buttons




            Make sure you
            save your changes
Loss is more powerful
      than gain
Avoid trade-offs

• At a Persuasion Window:

    • Choice = good

    • Trade-offs = bad
