VALUE PROPOSITION

acknowledged. It is also a belief from the customer about how value will be delivered,
experienced and acquired.

TRUST AND SECURITY

HEADLINE
 On average, 8 out of 10 people will read headline copy, but only 2 out of 10 will read
the rest (https://www.copyblogger.com)
 https://buzzsumo.com/blog/most-shared-headlines-study/
 The headline includes numbers
 The headline is between 5 and 9 (or 16 and 18) words
 The headline is negative
 The headline has two parts (subheader)
 The headline is crystal clear
https://cxl.com/blog/5-characteristics-high-converting-headlines/
 Use the trick to put “I want to…”[use your wardrobe for mixing and swapping fashion]
in front of the headline

COPY
Besides header and subheader:
 Benefits
 Features
 Testimonials
 Simple language
https://www.wordstream.com /

COPY

IMAGES
Same or more important than headlines (!)
 Always create a feeling, leave a impression
 Product, abstract or emotion

VIDEO
Two questions:
1. When does it add value? / Makes it things more clear?
2. When doesn’t it add value? / Makes it even more blurry?
 You don’t need an explainer video to buy a book
 Explaining how this water driven vacuum cleaner is 10x better than your old one,
might need a video
 Explaining your behind the scenes process of your actually complicated, but in UX
really (good!) simplified way is getting managed probably is a good use case
 Explainers – feature focused
 Explainers – benefit focused
 Product demo’s
 Testimonial video’s
 How To Video’s

BUTTONS
According to Marketing Experiments, consumers go through a six-
step process before clicking a CTA on an email or landing page:
1. Arrest attention
2. Build connection
3. Build problem
4. Build interest
5. Build suspense
6. Transfer momentum
