Avoid the terrible twos: too much information & too many calls to action
Cognitive fluency in copy = more white space, shorter paragraphs, no jargon
Use “because” in copy; it’s a proven compliance trigger

Start the story with skepticism since buyers are skeptic towards marketers
Use a testimonial in which the giver’s situation is relevant to the buyer’s
