We discovered 7 ways to empathize with your potential customers effectively through words.

As you already know, in order to be successful with your online store you need that each of the elements present in it, are the ideal to encourage the capture, sale and loyalty of your potential customers. In this sense, texts are essential to achieve this because with them you can create the closeness and confidence necessary to connect with your customers and empathize with them.

Think well in the detailed description of who is your ideal client, your problems, needs, ambitions, illusions, etc. And create texts, articles, and product listings that are aimed at connecting with your most emotional part. The key is to create a real connection with your customer beyond the product or service you sell.

2. Use headlines that have a “hook”.

The title is the first thing we see users and depending on what we perceive, we click and read the content. The key is to get that first click, but the whole strategy of content marketing will have been left in nothing.

Some techniques that you can use when creating headlines that hook up are for example:

  •     Find phrases you know that help generate excitement;
  •     Incorporate the main keyword for which you are positioning;
  •     Immediately focus the reader on the content you are going to develop and on the benefits that you will bring
  •     Be brief, clear and concise

3. Make use of metaphors.

The metaphors are perfect to create more rhythm in the reading of the texts and they help a lot to talk about subjects or aspects that can be, sometimes, a little delicate. As you know the metaphor is a rhetorical figure that consists of identifying a real concept with another that is imaginary and with which there is a relationship of similarity.

In our day to day we use a multitude of metaphors and we do not realize it, for example with expressions like “you are missing a screw”, “I have sat like a jug of cold water”, “goes downhill and without brakes”, “I have The mood for the soil “, etc.

And in the case of metaphors within texts, serve to facilitate reading, making it more enjoyable and capturing the interest of the reader to get the article to end.

4. Use simple, clear and direct sentences.

If you can say something in 5 words, better than 10, because especially on the internet the user is more accustomed to scan the texts than to read them completely. For this reason, writing texts that are not very long and with phrases that do not go around, is the best you can do to capture the attention of your customers.

5. Be original.
