Presentation given to IxDA Singapore on art of persuasive design. Is your landing page conversion rate low? Do users keep missing your big “Subscribe” button? Do users miss your cross-sell popup? Chances are this lack of action has got to do with low motivation. People may not be motivated even if you make the font size bigger. Motivation is driven by internal, emotional triggers rather than external ones. The good news is that we can use the science of influence and persuasion to motivate people to take action. We call this the art of persuasive design. In this session, we will share examples of persuasive design strategies such as reciprocity and social proof to drive action.

- 21. Social Proof • Users are more likely to do what everyone else is doing • Need to fit in and belong is wired into our brains and our biology • We are cognitive misers and look for information from others • Show users that people just like them are using and loving your product/service • Highlight ratings and reviews from satisfied customers • Showcase real testimonials from delighted customers • Use social media “likes” and “mentions” • Remember that a frustrating user experience is equally likely to go viral as a positive experience What is it? Why it works? How to apply it? What to watch out for? 21
- 22. Contrast (Ref. Ariely, Dan (2009) Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions) Ugly versions of Tom and Jerry Tom and Jerry equally attractive Jerry is more attractive than Tom 22
- 24. Contrast • We evaluate or value things in comparison to other things • People need an anchor and not see things as absolutes • It creates attention and affects the perception of facts • Give users ways to compare a product with others (cost, features etc.) • Use “Ugly Jerry” strategy to highlight one product • Make it easier for users to compare between choices by giving clear information • Be mindful that people delay action when presented with too many choices What is it? Why it works? How to apply it? What to watch out for? 24

- How do you make decisions? If you’re like most people, you’ll probably answer that you pride yourself on weighing the pros and cons of a situation carefully and then make a decision based on logic. You know that other people have weak personalities and are easily swayed by their emotions, but this rarely happens to you. Think of the last time you went to a store and bought something that was over the budget you had set initially We make decisions and then we try to rationalize them, we confabulate..
