What is a psychologically relevant title?

This is Fujisawa, the public relations officer

I work on marketing activities every day with a shaky mind, but
I feel that titles are important in everything I do.

The title of the business email should be simple and easy to understand

  • Blog Post
  • Email newsletter
  • press release
  • study session

Any title like this needs to convey the feeling of "Check this out!!!"

The purpose and aim of a title is to invite customers. Here
we have summarized how to write such an "invitation phrase."

Blog

Pack your article with keywords so that it can be understood in short sentences.
To add emphasis, use exclamation marks and question marks to help readers empathize with the article.

On your own blog,

In this way, you can present a question and appeal to the reader in a short sentence.

You can also pinpoint the point you don't understand and guide the reader, such as "For those who are worried about ____."

Email newsletter

Use a catchphrase at the beginning of the title to grab the reader's attention.
provocative phrases such as "Is your website at risk too?" or
phrases such as "Limited time only" or "Limited quantity" to encourage action.

I'd like to quote a few things from the e-mail newsletter I subscribe to

Quote: ferret

When a specific number is written, like "3 minutes," I feel like, "Well, I guess I'll give it a try."

The strong word "strip naked" makes a lasting impression

Ending soon [50% off digital editions & great prizes] "Impress Books E-Book Year-End Sale 2017-2018" running until January 10th (Wed)! [Marugoto Impress Extra Edition]

Quote: Impress Books

When I hear "It's almost over," I think "I have to hurry!"

To create an eye-catching title that will get your message opened,

  • Show what information is available
  • Enter specific numbers
  • It makes you realize you have to read it now!

It is important to keep this point in mind

press release

The title should be easy to read, with clear and accurate information and careful attention to the order of words.
Furthermore, it must be interesting in order to be picked up by the media.

Here are some quotes from PR TIMES

AUKEY CB-UD3 USB-C microSD & SD Card Reader Now Available! Compatible with Type-C devices, great news for MacBook users

Quote: AUKEY

When I see the words "Good news for users of XX," even if I'm not a user, I'm intrigued

Using words like "first in the industry" or "first in Japan" can be the biggest selling point

The title succinctly conveys what you want to convey, making it easy to understand

Vantage Management's new client acquisition rate has improved by 160%. What is the secret behind this strategy?

When the phrase "What is the secret behind this policy?" appears at the end of the article, it makes you curious to know what happens next

Depending on the content of the article,
it may be better to simply write what you want to convey, or
it may be better to add compelling words and dramatize it.

study session

Of course, it's important to explain what the study group will be about, but
the most important thing is to make people want to join.
If it's a study group for beginners, it's more friendly to use phrases like "Easy learning about ____."

We would like to introduce the titles of our company's past study sessions

Quote: Beyond Events

It has a strong parody feel.
Rather than giving the impression that study sessions are serious,
we want to create a fun atmosphere that makes it easy for customers to come.

summary

Human psychology changes with the times, so there may not be a correct answer


there has been a trend
on social media platforms like Twitter where
the winner is the one who writes the "shortest words" and "most clever" tweet Coming up with a title is similar;
the challenge is to attract as many people as possible using as few words as possible.

It's nice to satisfy the desire for recognition by creating a buzz with my own Ogiri ideas, but
I would also like to engage in public relations activities that satisfy the public by spreading information that is useful to people.
