Recent research from Unbounce has shown that concise and easy-to-read e-commerce landing pages that use positive language and create a sense of anticipation tend to have higher conversion rates. The researchers analyzed 15,981 e-commerce landing pages and found that pages with fewer words had a higher median conversion rate, particularly those with a middle school reading level.
Furthermore, pages with more words that convey joy (e.g. 'smile', 'love', 'delightful') and those that spark anticipation (e.g. 'improve', 'expect', 'highest') also had a higher average conversion rate. This suggests that using the right language can be an important factor for optimizing landing page conversions.
