A few questions: * Put some context around doubled. From 1 to 2, 100 to 200, 1,000 to 2,000? * How many cancels are in these numbers? I've got to believe that with a less informative, and more "catchy" message, people know less about what they're buying and end up canceling when they find out it's not what they expect. * It would be interesting to see the before and after descriptions you're using in the market for your app. -- Chris Stewart http://chriswstewart.com Fantasy Football<http://chriswstewart.com/android-applications/fantasy-football/>- Android app for MFL fantasy football owners Fantasy Football Insider<http://chriswstewart.com/android-applications/fantasy-football-insider/>- Android app for all fantasy football fanatics Social Updater<http://chriswstewart.com/android-applications/social-updater/>- An easy way to send your status blast to multiple social networks On Fri, Aug 27, 2010 at 6:55 AM, Zsolt Vasvari <zvasv...@gmail.com> wrote: > So in the week that I changed my 325 characters from a feature list to > a "catchy" blurb, my sales have doubled.
