👉 Scarcity & Urgency Framing
Pushes action by claiming "restrictions may come soon" and “sold out in 4 hours last time” to create FOMO.

👉 Symptom Callout & Relatability
Lists hyper-specific symptoms (3AM wake-ups, shaky hands, mood swings) to trigger self-identification.
👉 Personal Transformation Story
Uses a clear before/after journey: exhausted and stuck → calm, energized, and lean after using the product.
👉 Fast, Easy Solution Framing
Positions Liveen as a non-intimidating, beginner-friendly tool — just 15 minutes a day.

Shows Liveen in action in a soft, calming environment to reinforce its stress-reduction benefits.
