5. Bolding and Underlining
If you have long chunks of text it will be hard to keep interest.
By bolding and underlining important portions of your copy, it draws the readers attention in.
Keeping them interested and emphasizing the main points.

If you can’t get a reader to the end of your copy/page/tweet, then you lost a sale.
