151. Converting through case studies: How to infuse inclusion for more effectiveness

Consumers want to reduce their risk as much as possible when making a purchase. And that desire increases exponentially when it comes to a product that not only has a higher ticket price, but has a greater possibility of being a hassle to make things right if the product doesn’t work out the way they’d hoped. That's why case studies work so well -- they help eliminate risk in the minds of consumers. The stakes are higher for people from underrepresented and underserved communities.
