Power of Vivid Contrast
- Using vivid and relatable descriptors like "cardboard feel" creates an immediate emotional contrast with competitors.
- This contrast opens a mental story loop that engages curiosity about what makes their product better.
Avoid Over-Explaining Features
- Keep product messaging concise and avoid going into exhaustive detail on features.
- Let the number of improvements imply expertise and superiority without listing every detail.
Use Compelling Soundbites
- Craft short, repeatable soundbites that highlight what's in it for the customer.
- Use descriptive, evocative terms (e.g., "performance footbed") to paint a compelling picture without lengthy explanations.
