From: DailyUXWriting -- Scenario: The user is trying to view a website to help them buy a car. But, the content can’t load without the user’s location. They need to enter their ZIP code and first name. Challenge: Ask them where and who they live without sounding like you're unnecessarily mining their data. Headline: 25 characters Body: 45 characters Button: 15 characters* Headline: Buy cars near you Body: Enter ZIP code and first name to get offers Button: Show deals Why I chose this? Concise and Friendly: The headline is brief, engaging, and immediately communicates value—helping the user find deals near their location. Action-Oriented: The button text, Show Deals, aligns with the user's goal, creating a sense of immediacy and purpose. Transparent Messaging: The body text clearly explains why the information is needed (to get local offers) without sounding intrusive. Empathy for the User: The tone avoids aggressive or overly formal language, making the request feel approachable and user-focused. Trust-Building: Simplified wording reassures the user that only minimal information is requested for a specific purpose. Conclusion This approach balances the need for essential user data while maintaining a trustworthy and engaging experience. It respects the user’s privacy and builds confidence, increasing the likelihood of interaction. cover image source
