How to explain your own money app in one sentence
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Most new money apps describe themselves with words like "seamless", "innovative" and "all-in-one". Nobody repeats those words to a friend. The apps that spread have one plain sentence people can say out loud. Here is how to write yours.
Use a simple shape
A sentence that works usually has three parts.
- Who it is for: "for Ghanaians in the UK", "for hairdressers", "for students in Lagos".
- What it does: "send money home", "take card payments", "split rent".
- Why it is better: "with the fee shown up front", "in your own language", "paid out the next day".
Say what the giant gets wrong
Your people already use a big bank or money app. Your sentence works best when it quietly answers what that giant does badly for them, such as hidden costs, slow support or no help in their language.
Test it on real people
Say your sentence to five people in your niche and ask them to tell you back what your app does. If they can't, simplify it. If they ask "where do I get it?", you're done.
Use it everywhere
Put the sentence at the top of your homepage, in your app store listing, in your social bios and at the start of every conversation. The same words in every place is how a small brand becomes memorable.
