Doing so usually appeals to them. The objective is to make the whole thing about the reader rather than yourself.

  1. Safe and effective - the modern consumer is very cautious as far as the safety of the products he or she buys is concerned. The use of the terms "safe and effective" helps to minimize a customer's risk perception for health as well as monetary loss.
  2. Guaranteed - use this powerful word to make your subscribers feel like they have nothing to lose, but instead, everything to gain. However, avoid overpromising. Should you decide to use this word, make sure that your product can support the claim.
  3. Now - this word comes in handy when you want your list to act because it creates a sense of urgency. Look at it as part of a call to action. Use it in instances such as subscribe now, act now, or shop now and so on and so forth.

As detailed in an article featured on the CXL Marketing Blog, implied urgency is a strategic technique that employs words such as "now" and "today" to gently encourage readers to take immediate action.

  2. Thank you - a little appreciation for your customers goes a long way in attracting and retaining customers. It makes them feel loved. Each time you attain a new milestone; don't forget to thank your customers for being a part of the success. If possible, go out of your way and thank them by offering a new deal. Also, always write a kind email to thank new subscribers.
  3. Free - this term is compelling ? for lack of a better word. It has what it takes to trigger the emotions and excitement of your customers. Whenever the opportunity arises, do not shy away from using the word "free."

Stephen B. Henry, Author, Instructor, and Mentor at ultimatevirtualsolutions.com, shared a post on LinkedIn highlighting the power of the word "free" in consumer engagement. He emphasizes that "free" resonates with consumers on a deeply instinctive level, sparking their interest, curiosity, and the anticipation of receiving something of value. Even though "free" can be used in various contexts beyond simply denoting "no cost," it consistently captures the reader's attention precisely because of its association with zero expense. In an era where consumers prioritize cost-consciousness, the word "free" remains universally appealing.
