Enlarge the Visual Size of Benefits
Bigger digits convey higher volume and confidence.
Try enlarging the digits in numerical features.
Bigger digits enhanced the persuasiveness of various messages (Huang, 2025).
Why It Works
- Size Conflation. Big fonts imply largeness: Hmm, something feels big. Must be a high number.
- Confidence Attribution. Big fonts imply a strong message: Hmm, why are these numbers emphasized? Must be better than competitors.
How to Apply
- Add Any Emphasis. Bolding can also imply confidence.
- Show More Units. In addition to the physical size of fonts, you could also increase quantity. Food packages seem larger when they display more units of food (Madzharov & Block, 2010).
- List More Attributes. While drafting an agreement, you might say: The project will be completed under budget by May 3. Try separating this single benefit into multiple benefits: The project will meet all quality requirements. The project will be completed under budget. The project will be completed by May 3.
- Polarize Font Sizes of Prices. I've seen A/B tests in which sales have increased by changing the font size of a price to be smaller or larger. Small fonts can imply a smaller size, while large fonts can imply confidence in the price. Only use a large font if your price is considered a good deal (Huang, 2025).
- Maintain Full Shapes. Detergent bottles seem smaller if they leave an empty gap for a handle (Sevilla & Kahn, 2014). Don't remove too much of your packaging or product.
- Enlarge Product Images. Especially when bigger is better (e.g., vitamins, TV, storage).
Stronger For
- New Brands. Customers must attribute a large font to confidence. This effect didn't happen for well-known companies because customers skipped this attribution; they could already judge quality (Huang, 2025).
