It talks about the importance of microcopy. Microcopy is something my clients never pay me to write and in more than 99% cases they skip the pages the require microcopy, for instance, the contact us page, or some other page requiring one or two sentences. But I remember a client, a long time ago, making me write small sentences on the contact us page to succinctly explain the purpose of individual email addresses. He paid for it like a normal page.<\/p>\n<h2>What exactly is microcopy?<\/h2>\n<p>Here is how Kinneret Yifrah, the author of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microcopybook.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Microcopy \u2013 The Complete Guide<\/a> explains this form of writing:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\">The words or phrases in the user interface which are directly related to the actions a user takes:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"color: #008000;\">The motivation before the action;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Instructions that accompany the action;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #008000;\">The feedback of the user has taken the action.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>As a content writer, I believe microcopy doesn\u2019t just play an important role in making the user experience meaningful and impactful, even on normal webpages, for example the contact us page, or even the descriptions page, microcopy can significantly impact your bottom line.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Microcopy<\/strong> is the small strings of text in the form of 3-4 words or even a couple of sentences on a web page or a mobile notification. They are straightforward sentences.<\/p>\n<p>Suppose, you have a contact us page. Unless there is really something specific that you want to communicate before people fill up your contact form, you may simply have something like, \u201cPlease submit our contact page and make sure that you fill up as many fields as possible so that we can provide you exactly the information you need.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I know, this is a big sentence, but you get the point. Microcopy consists of a single sentence, a single phrase, and sometimes a single paragraph.<\/p>\n<p>Microcopy is also used in the UI of a mobile app or any other software application. All those small messages that keep popping up when you are interacting with the mobile app, are microcopy.<\/p>\n<p>These days I have been closely working with a mobile app marketing company that helps start-ups and mobile app developers launch their mobile apps successfully.<\/p>\n<p>One of the jobs is writing compelling listing descriptions. Whereas, for Google Play listings, you can have around 4,000 characters as description, Apple\u2019s App Store doesn\u2019t allow much text. For description, you use just about 170 characters. When the count of the characters is so low, it can be considered as microcopy.<\/p>\n<h2>Why is microcopy important?<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.toptal.com\/designers\/ui\/microcopy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">This post on the concept of microcopy<\/a> explains it well why it is important.<\/p>\n<p>As a writer I take words very seriously and as a person who wants his or her website or mobile app to be able to interact with users without ambiguity, you must too.<\/p>\n<p>I often tell my clients that if they don\u2019t take the written text on their websites seriously, they don\u2019t take their websites seriously and hence, they don\u2019t take their online businesses seriously.<\/p>\n<p>When a person interacts with your website or your mobile app or with your software application, he or she doesn\u2019t just come across buttons, pop-up windows, text boxes and other elements. Without words, these elements mean nothing.<\/p>\n<p>You may think, if a button says, \u201cOK\u2019, where does the question of the importance of microcopy arise? Everyone can write \u201cOK\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, when I\u2019m talking about the importance of microcopy, I don\u2019t mean to say how you should be careful about using the \u201cOK\u201d and \u201cCancel\u201d buttons.<\/p>\n<p>Take for example the PayPal example I have given below. There are many customers who will actually decide against doing business with you if they think they will need to create an additional account to pay you. Just an extra sentence can avert this disaster.<\/p>\n<p>Good examples of microcopy are error messages, tips balloons, details and explanations on the contact form, product descriptions and E-Commerce hints.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a good example of microcopy:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3516\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3516\" style=\"width: 1926px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/credible-content.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/good-example-of-a-microcopy.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3516\" src=\"https:\/\/credible-content.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/good-example-of-a-microcopy.png\" alt=\"A good example of microcopy\" width=\"1926\" height=\"663\" srcset=\"https:\/\/credible-content.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/good-example-of-a-microcopy.png 1926w, https:\/\/credible-content.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/good-example-of-a-microcopy-300x103.png 300w, https:\/\/credible-content.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/good-example-of-a-microcopy-1024x352.png 1024w, https:\/\/credible-content.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/good-example-of-a-microcopy-768x264.png 768w, https:\/\/credible-content.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/good-example-of-a-microcopy-1536x529.png 1536w, https:\/\/credible-content.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/good-example-of-a-microcopy-624x215.png 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1926px) 100vw, 1926px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3516\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A good example of microcopy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Although, this page comes up when someone unsubscribes, even there the company gives the person who has unsubscribed a good reason to come back. First, in the green strip, it has a very reassuring message,<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Your membership has been canceled\u00a0and a confirmation email has been sent. But don&#8217;t worry, we&#8217;ll leave a light on \u2013 just in case you ever change your mind.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Leave a light on&#8221; is an age-old phrase used for people who are going away but the people in the house want to tell them that whenever they want, they can come back.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m pretty sure many people subscribe back after reading this message.<\/p>\n<p>The post I have linked to above gives some examples of miscommunications that may occur due to a missing or a wrongly expressed sentence. A good example is, \u201cTo pay by PayPal you don\u2019t need a PayPal account\u201d. This is an important message and if you are accepting payment through paypal then you should inform (<em>the ones not already informed<\/em>) because many clients and customers may not do business with you if they think just for a single transaction they may have to register at a 3rd-party website.<\/p>\n<p>Microcopy constitutes of tiny, seemingly innocuous expressions we assume our visitors are already aware of and that is why sometimes we skip them. For instance, while you are asking people to subscribe to your electronic newsletter, sometimes you forget to tell them that you are not going to spam them or their email addresses will never be sold. This is given, and you know that you are never going to spam your subscribers, but telling them makes them more eager to subscribe. Or if you want your customer to create an account before he or she can purchase from you, you forget to mention that after creating an account they can track the shipment or make the next purchase more easily.<\/p>\n<p>As the blog post rightly says, microcopy alleviates small concern that might not look monumental but may become a deciding factor when they are thinking about doing business with you.<\/p>\n<p>So should you pay your copywriter for taking care of your microcopy? It depends, but to be frank, whatever helps you do your business better, has commercial value.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Microcopy consists of small bits of text that appear
