Project:
For the UX copy test at JC Penny, below are the website copy suggestions I gave.
Rationale: The first line of copy on the Rewards Profile – ‘You have no Rewards’ starts off on a negative note. To keep the website experience positive and pleasant for customers, I suggested the below copy.
New copy: Kick start your Rewards Points.
Rationale: The microcopy below the headline –‘Save 20% on your next purchase,' does not explain how customers can save 20%.
New microcopy: Sign up for our emails for an offer on your next purchase, plus watch your inbox for other exciting updates.
Rationale: Though the 'Find a Store' icon conveys the message, the order of copy (Near You, Find a Store) did not sound conversational. Hence, I suggested the below copy.
New copy option 1: Find a store near you
New copy option 2: We’re near you. Find a Store.
Rationale: On the Credit Card banner, the order of the copy could be changed in terms of priority. As a customer, I would like to see the benefit first, in this case, ‘faster checkout’ before I get to the details of how to do it.
New headline: Faster Checkout
New copy: Save your credit card and checkout in a flash.
Rationale: While the copy on the 'Home' category said 'Save On Home', I felt it would appeal better if the customers could see the double benefit — a beautiful home at a discounted price. For this, I took a page out of the old copywriting insight — 'sell the sizzle, not the steak'.
New headline: BEAUTIFUL HOME FOR LESS
Rationale: The idea of 'My JCPenney Store' ad was to let customers know that they could book products online and pick it up from a store near them. I suggested the below headline to give customers a quick idea as to what the service was all about.
New headline:
ORDER ONLINE. PICK-UP OFFLINE.
