Pro-Tips for Your Blog (How to Increase Scroll Time)
To keep your “scrollers” on the page longer and increase your impressions, try adding these interactive sections between the recall items:
1. The “Check Your Pantry” Checklist (Interactive Content)
Instead of just a list, create a “5-Minute Safety Sweep” section. Ask your readers to:
-
Open their freezer and look for the Item #1181272 on the side of the beignet box.
-
Check the “Deli Date” on any remaining Caesar salads.
-
Look at the power cord on their treadmill for any signs of discoloration or melting.
2. “Did You Know?” Sidebars
Add small “Did You Know?” boxes throughout the article to break up the text. For example:
-
“Did you know Costco tracks every recall for you? If you bought a recalled item, you will often receive an automated phone call or email from Costco Corporate within 24–48 hours.”
-
“Did you know you don’t need a receipt? Because every purchase is tied to your membership ID, Costco can pull up the transaction at the returns counter in seconds.”
