Powerwords Improve your marketing Success

Isn’t it amazing how just the right combination of words can increase your sales, or capture your interest?

Powerwords crank up your marketing conversion rate by targeting people’s lizard brain 🦎

I used this post on Instagram to stop my users scrolling:

use power words on isntagram marketing for conversions

 

By tapping into this part of the emotive brain we can evoke emotion.

People connect to emotion, not words, so we can build an emotional connection to our brand, or illicit an action through using these powerwords.

A post on social media using powerwords is more likely to be shared because it’s  “emotionally charged.”

Basically, you could see a 12% increase in conversion just by dotting in a few power words. In this post, we’ll share a list of 400+ power words that you can cut-and-paste into your marketing.

🤳 Vanity Powerwords

A decade in marketing has taught me one thing. People are basically vane aresholes. Even the nice ones.

The golden rule of branding and consumerism is we buy things because of how we think of ourselves.

We aren’t buying things, we’re buying a lifestyle or image that we want to belong to.

Vanity keywords will help your customers feel they are successful or part of the right demographic group.

😨 Fear Powerwords

Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering buying stuff.

😵 Boost Marketing Conversion by 12.5% with PowerWords 3

Fear is the most primal motivator. It keeps us safe, not just from predators, but from bad deals, from loss, from failure.

Fear emotions can inspire your customers to act out of fear of what might happen if they don’t.

Just don’t overdo it, provide an actionable solution to their problem.

(And don’t be an asshole, there’s enough fear and loathing in the world.)
