The Goldfish Conundrum: How to Create Content for Short Attention Spans | HubSpot | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

This time, 90% guessed that adding a small line of text to an ecommerce product page would increase sales. And, they were right.

So, despite the fact that almost all of these web marketers knew that the small change would help, very few websites actually use this approach.

So what was the powerful line of text?...

Jeff Domansky's insight:

Marketers take note. One line of text can bring big traffic gains.
