We don’t want to do that-we should be different. A lot of communications and advertising tend to sound the same, and competitors often mimic each other. Second, you don’t want to sound like your competitors. You don’t want to add too many benefits because it dilutes the takeaway, and your audience may not remember what you want them to remember. It can be very tempting to add “reasons to believe” that are actually new and additional benefits. Next, these are the things we want to avoid when writing a reason to believe.

You want to make sure that any reason to believe information that you provide or show directly supports the benefit or main takeaway of the communication. Lastly, tie it back to the benefit you’ve already identified. Those would include things like testimonials or torture-test demonstrations.

Things to Consider When Writing a Reason to Believe When we’re writing creative briefs and we get to the box that says reason to believe, the key question that we’re trying to answer is: Why should consumers or customers believe us?
