So you have little time to convince users to stay and no time to leave the creative burden to them. It’s too easy to move on, so follow these three principles:

  1. Know your audience. Find out the types of users interested in your business then cater to them unabashedly. Figure out exactly what they want and give it to them. Make choices obvious and buy options easy.
  2. Know what your customers need. Consumers are looking to solve a problem. Help them do it with your product USP, your helpful information and your expertise.
  3. Write in a way people understand. Evolving algorithms aside you still need to write in a way that makes sense to your customers. Confusing jargon and convoluted messages with no features or benefits detracts from the user experience.
