Persuasion Architecture

Friday, November 13th, 2009

Persuasion Architecture is a term describing a method of content targeting to appeal to different personas.  The idea is to break down your customers into basic groupings.

  • Spontaneous
  • Humanistic
  • Competitive
  • Methodical

As well as this you determine where they are in the buying cycle;

  • Just browsing
  • Want a product but not sure which
  • Know exactly what they want

Knowing that all your customers can be categorised these ways you then plan content tests to target them, so that you appeal to a broad section of your audience. You must answer the questions from everyone in your target audience if you want to maximise potential conversion rate.
