Quality product descriptions can make a huge difference to the ecommerce user experience.
Not only can good copy nudge consumers and increase conversion rates, but it can also help to differentiate a brand. Humour is one effective way that brands can make product descriptions stand out, with an increasing number choosing to be quirky and fun rather than just informative.
Tone of voice (ToV) is extremely important when you’re trying to build a distinctive brand. It’s the personality of your business. The thing people will remember you by.
One way to to have a memorable ToV is to be funny, but there aren’t many brands who can consistently pull it off without subsequent cringing on the audience’s part.
In this post I’m going to cover four that can.
We so very rarely see quirky or ‘marmite’ video creative where brands are perceived to be taking a risk.
That’s especially true in the holiday period, when most brands tend to sprinkle some glitter over their ad campaigns, or add some warm humour (daft at a push, e.g. Lidl).
This is partly why Robert Dyas’ new commercial has made such a big impact, with more than 400,000 YouTube views in its first weekend.
