Readability

• Don’t talk above or below your audience’s reading comprehension level
• For most people that means 9th – 10th grade reading level
• The higher the reading level, the less people will understand it

Example 3: The Little Engine That Could
A little steam engine had a long train of cars to pull. She went alongvery well till she came to a steep hill. But then, no matter how hard shetried, she could not move the long train of cars. She pulled and shepulled. She puffed and she puffed. She backed and started off again.Choo! Choo! But no! The cars would not go up the hill. At last she left the train and started up the track alone. Do you think she had stopped working? No, indeed! She was going for help. "Surely I can find someone to help me," she thought.
Average Score: 2.9

Persuasion Principles
1. Reciprocation – The IOU principle
2. Commitment and Consistency – Justification comes after the
decision
3. Social Proof– We want to find out what other people think is
right

Persuasion Principles
4. Liking– We are more likely to buy from someone we
like than someone we don’t know
5. Authority– We are more likely to do something when we
are told to by an authority figure

Scarcity
• The perception or reality that something isn’t readily available
• We are more likely to act when we are told we might be losing something than if we are told we are gaining something

Tone and Voice
• The personality of your brand conveyed in the written word
• Things to consider:– Are you being consistent in your tone– Is your tone appropriate for the audience– What is the “personality” of your business?
• If someone else is writing the copy take it and make it your own
