UX writing challenge: Day 13
Low on fuel
Scenario: A short-haul truck driver has a phone app that monitors his route, schedule, fuel & deliveries.
He has 6 more deliveries before stopping for fuel and lunch. Due to unexpected traffic, he’s behind schedule.
He can choose to stay on his planned route for a few more stops, but risk running low on fuel and missing lunch, or he can get fuel and lunch now and finish the deliveries later.
Challenge: Write a push notification alerting him of this dilemma and options.
Headline: 30 characters max
Body: 45 characters max
Button(s): 25 characters max
Points to keep in mind
- The driver has six more deliveries that he needs to complete.
- He is behind schedule due to unexpected traffic.
- He can stick to the plan but risk running low on fuel.
- As a UX writer, I need to inform the user of the situation he is in and what he should prioritise.
- The user needs a clear answer to get him going. Thus, the tone should be clear and precise.
My source of inspiration
What I came up with
Headline- Delivery Alert!
It gives the user a clear understanding of what the notification is about and grabs their attention, even in situations where the user may not be focused on a mobile screen.
Body- You’re low on fuel with 6 deliveries left.
The body text convey the both the crucial aspects for the user about the alert with minimal usage of text. It’ll make decision making easier for the user.
