Self-help book reader audience targeting

This is a 7 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Self-help book reader (Yes). A sample of responses:

• People that feel stuck in their lives are looking for options to change, not criticism. Option A seems to be the most motivating and uplifting cover. Option D is alright, but very generic. The title of the other options is very critical and unsupportive. I sorted them by most engaging color and cover design to least.
• A is the most appealing to me. E and B are not bad. F, G, D, and C are average
• I like the brightness of the cover and the unravelling of the text on the bottom.
• The font on my top pick reminds me of Money magazine, so it looks like it's worth buying. The next pick has a bright red cover to make it stand out better. Number 3 has the same font but not as strong a color scheme. Number 4 - with the different title - has a calm approach but makes me think of Wikipedia. My bottom 3 are almost not worth picking up, especially the bottom two. The font for those two is too far off the mark and appears unprofessional.
• D and A look authoritative, helpful, insightful and trustworthy. The others all look like gag gifts are jokes.

This is a 2 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Self-help book reader (Yes). A sample of responses:

• I like the coloring and design of this one. Also you can just look at the logo and see it’s about communication.
• i like the cover of A with the atomic type symbol, i would go with this
• I chose B because I like the layout of the cover, but also I like the 2 people "communicating" on the cover which is the point of this book.
• I really like both of these a lot and would be into either cover but the image in choice B just speaks to me more. If you want to talk to people you need to talk to people and this one conveys that more.
• I prefer this cover design because of the size of the font and the graphics, which combine to make it look more professional than the other choice.

This is a 2 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Self-help book reader (Yes). A sample of responses:

• I like that the blue background breaks up the front text.
• The stripes seem to give it a sense of stability and I think that is helpful. I might consider dropping the bottom stripe and leaving the top one.
• I dislike the black underline under the author name so I chose option B
• I prefer the cover with stripes shown in option A because for me it makes the cover more aesthetic compared to option B.
• The stripes help to catch attention of the whole cover and the underlined text. Try to get ‘Speaking” on the same line as the other text.

This is a 3 option poll with 100 respondents targeting Self-help book reader (Yes). A sample of responses:

• I like A best because it is a little darker which makes it stand out a little more.
• The darker the blue - the more professional and legitimate the book seems.
• Option A catches my attention the most followed by C then B. They each feel trustworthy, B reminds me more of a textbook I might see in school so that feels slightly more trustworthy than the others.
• this lighter blue is the most vivid and catches my eyes more easily
• A and B had the strongest design, but A was definitely easier on the eyes.

This is a 2 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Self-help book reader (Yes). A sample of responses:

• Option A definitely looks more professional and attractive due to the graphic elements. The graphic design on option B looks like it is taken from an app logo or something similar and is not nearly as appealing as option A.
• I think choice A has a better graphic in terms of marketing for networking individuals.
• The image on the bottom conveys a network of people versus people thinking. It matched the words better.
• This is more attractive for a book. The contrast of the all black graphic supports the title better than the 2nd choice. My eyes were forced to linger longer on the 2nd choice after I considered the picture and how it applied to the book I had lost interest.
• I prefer option A because is has more sophistication and detail in design, however, both covers seem to be incomplete.

This is a 2 option poll with 100 respondents targeting Self-help book reader (Yes). A sample of responses:

• Option A is more straight forward. Option B's title is kind of confusing
• While B would grab my attention more, A has more of a professional design, and would integrate well into a business enviroment.
• A showcases a strategic point of view compared to B which looks more raw and refined.
• This option is best for me. The title is concise. The design layout is easily readable and looks professional. I would buy this option for those two reasons.
• The red color and bigger, bolder letters brought my attention to this much faster than the other option. Plus, the other option looks kind of bland with the boring background.

This is a 3 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Self-help book reader (Yes). A sample of responses:

• neither choice is appealing, the option A is too much of a cry for help title, mainly because it sounds like a phrase someone would say in a conversation about how work is stressing them out
• I think using a sensation tittle for a book is eye catching. A cool or edgy tittle like Option B makes people want to read it because you feel like if the book has a tittle like that it may have something intriguing and provocative inside. Option C is just very ordinary.
• Option B seems like it would be a more relaxed, relatable, humorous read!
• The book title in Option C sounds more sympathetic to the reader's plight.
• While I appreciate the creativity in option B, I don't like that it feels more negative and option C feels more entertaining as well as educational

This is a 2 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Self-help book reader (Yes). A sample of responses:

• This cover looked more psychologically driven, which I preferred for this topic.
• The graphic design and color theme for a Communication Skills themed book cover that would entice you to buy the book is Option B. I think the red color draws me immediately to this book and design. The "read people" in white also stands out a lot and immediately gives me a sense of what the book is about.
• I love A because of the colors and the overall design. I love he brain with the books in it.
• The red cover stands out while the beige one would not jump out to me. Also the background of the beige looks like a watermark.
• That graphic of the book shelf in the shape of a brain is brilliant and eye catching.

This is a 2 option poll with 100 respondents targeting Self-help book reader (Yes). A sample of responses:

• More descriptive and I like that it tells me that I will increase my confident and build resilience.
• I like the words increase, build, and leverage
• I would rather read option B because it lists the various ways the book can help you in your life. Option B details how it will increase your confidence and discover your potential. I feel like I would learn more from reading option B.
• I like option B better. I struggle with confidence and it is clear what the book is trying to teach me. Option A has a more elegant title but it is obscure and I don't trust it as it seems like fluff. I like the tangible nature of option B and how it lists out the exact things that it will present in the chapters.
• I chose A because this title is clear, to the point and easy to read and understand.

This is a 2 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Self-help book reader (Yes). A sample of responses:

• Using the words "breakthrough" " Silencing your inner critic" Sounds relatable to me and really interesting
• This book and subtitle is very profound! I like this title. It is very informative of what the book will cover. This is a very great idea!
• I would go for Option B I think the title is more engaging due to its unique phrasing.
• I liked the word awaken. It shows strong action to me.
• I kind of like the title in option A and the subtitle from option B. The subtitle in A is fine, but somehow sounds more traditional and common, while the one in B is more unique.
