​

Example #1 - Creating Urgency With Images

Sometimes, a picture is all you need to create purchase urgency.
​
Public.com plots the current interest rate of their bond account against projected future rate cuts. It clearly shows why buying today matters πŸ“‰πŸ˜“
​
The key product featureβ€”6.7% yield on cashβ€”might not last if the Fed cuts rates. But buy now, and you get it locked in.
​
It’s a simple and powerful way to make a complex message click without words.

​

Example #2 - Marketing Problems With Emotion

This ad campaign is a strong example of marketing the problem.
​
The visuals create shock value and evoke a relatable emotion everyone can connect with β€” gross takeout 🀒
​
It makes you rethink your next takeout order and positions YOU as the solution to the problem. Knorr is just the enabler that helps you get there.

Example #3 - Buyer-Enabling Navs

Clio’s website nav does an awesome job showing how the parts of their platform align with customer jobs to be done.
​
It’s easy for a buyer to quickly see what the platform offers and how everything fits together.
​
The β€œnew” callouts are a smart touch, and the AI banner below reinforces how everything is connected.

Example #4 - Showing the Benefits of Consolidation

I love how this homepage section outlines the benefits of consolidating multiple products into one.
​
Instead of a typical comparison table, it uses one simple visual that makes you stop scrolling.
​
You can literally picture yourself deleting other financial apps and replacing them with Origin. Also worth mentioning that each of the unnecessary apps are jiggling in the image β€” just like the they would when deleting them from your phone.
​
To make it even better, the image is reinforced by a financial benefit: β€œSave $1,300.”

Example #5 - Cost-Plus Pricing

Lemni’s pricing page presents tiers in a creative way that’s designed to onboard you fast.

It’s based on cost-plus pricing. You start at cost, then add extras. This makes it clear that Lemni is competitively priced and helps you see the value of each add-on.

Right off the bat, you feel like you’re getting a good deal.

I’ve never seen this approach before, but I love it.

To close deals, you need customer evidence β€” and a lot of it. But collecting evidence takes survey-design skills that many B2B marketers don’t have.

Luckily, UserEvidence has helped send thousands of customer surveys and are sharing their best-performers.

7 plug-and-play templates backed by 10+ years of survey design experience, so you can avoid the hassle of writing survey questions from scratch.
