Beyond basic copy: How microcopy changes drive a 30% lower cart abandonment

Update: 2025-10-01

Description

Mastering customer connection in ecommerce isn’t just about having the right products - it’s about clarity, intention, and understanding how consumer behavior keeps evolving.

In this episode of The Ecommerce Toolbox: Expert Perspectives, host Kailin Noivo sits down with Angela Hill, Director of Ecommerce at Batteries Plus and author of Sweet Talk, to unpack what she’s learned across 20 years in digital retail. From the early days of online product pages to the rise of AI-driven personalization, Angela has seen how small communication choices - like a single line of microcopy, can lead to big revenue shifts.

She shares how conversational commerce is replacing sterile product copy, and why focusing on what works (instead of fixing everything that’s broken) is the real key to unlocking growth.

So, if you’re navigating ecommerce at scale, managing multiple channels, or simply looking to make your site more engaging for customers, this episode is packed with all the tips and tricks you need.
