description Using elaboration of likelihood model, this study examines how syntactic structure (structural and lexical simplicity) and nonverbal cues (smiling and professional attire) interact to influence crowdfunding performance.

Further, professional attire strengthens the simplicity and performance relationship. However, smiling shows mixed effects.
