When does your copy take on wings — and when does it fly out of control?

What structure makes the best sense for your communications?

Where do visitors spend their time on your Web pages and why should you care?

Academics have tested hundreds of elements that make readers pay attention to, understand, remember and act on your messages. Now is your chance to know the research, use it to your advantage and apply it for more successful results.

Learn best-practice writing tips based on proven communication research, including:

How long employees spend reading their CEO's messages (and how short your executive message should be)

The ability to talk about what works in communication and why — and to back that talk up with proven evidence

Why the inverted pyramid is often the worst structure you could choose

What visitors really read on your Web pages and why it’s important to pay attention

And a whole lot more!
