About this exercise
Write the text of an in-app banner for customers near their plan limit, in plain text under 25 words, as exactly two lines: line 1 is a headline of 5 words or fewer, line 2 is one sentence with the usage fact and the next plan's name and price. Use the 2026 price, include no countdown or "limited time" wording, and no exclamation marks.
Common mistakes when you ask AI for this
- Using the old price. The AI writes $9. Try: Add: "Use the 2026 price, $12."
- Pressure wording. The AI writes 'Upgrade now!' Try: Add: "No exclamation marks, countdowns or upgrade now."
- Missing the usage fact. The AI writes a generic upsell. Try: Add: "State 4 of 5 invoices used this month."
- Too long. The AI writes a paragraph. Try: Add: "Two lines, under 25 words."
What a strong prompt includes
- Fixes two lines
- States the usage
- Names plan and price
- Bans pressure
