Webpages are not one-size-fits-all. They\u2019re not even one-size-fits most.<\/p>\n
When running a online marketing campaign, you are going to find that your website is very effective for some users, and very ineffective for other users. This happens partially because of the mindset of each individual, and partially because of how they come across your website. When a consumer finds your website through Google<\/a>, they are mentally prepared for a website that differs greatly from the website Twitter<\/a>, Facebook<\/a>, and Tumblr users are expecting.<\/p>\n This means that you need landing pages that cater to each source of traffic and have their needs and desires in mind. Here are seven essentials that you need to understanding before you start crafting your landing page copy and design. <\/p>\n Obviously, don\u2019t just cut and paste the copy from your marketing campaigns. You should, however, ensure that the messages mirror each other, that they harmonize. One of the best ways to get someone to click away from your page is to present them with a discordant message. Keeping your messaging consistent will ensure a higher trust level and engagement.<\/p>\n Make sure your landing page copy is as interesting and engaging as possible while elaborating on the information providing by the advertisement. After all, if someone clicked through an advertisement, it was probably to obtain more information about the product or service being advertised. Make sure they don\u2019t have to search for that information. Don\u2019t make it hard on consumers.<\/p>\n In a recent QuickSprout<\/a> article we learned that the Obama administration\u2019s tested headlines for one of their marketing campaigns. This campaugn saw a 21% increase in conversions when their page copy related directly to their other campaigns or to previous pages.<\/p>\n Who wouldn\u2019t want a 21% increase in conversions?;<\/p>\n This is the core of marketing.<\/p>\n The most effective advertisements provide a solution to a consumer\u2019s problem. When that consumer clicks through to your landing page, tell them how you are going to solve whatever problem they have.<\/p>\n For example, if you run a weight loss business, your target market is everyone trying to lose weight. That is their problem, they \u201cwant to lose weight.\u201d When they arrive at your landing page, your page title should tell them how you can solve their problem.<\/p>\n An effective, problem-solving headline might be, \u201cHow to Lose 15 Pounds in a Month.\u201d Your consumer is going to be instantly engaged, as they now know this page will solve their problem. This concept is important for every single business in every single industry, so make sure to start your landing pages with titles that demonstarte value to your target market.;<\/p>\n Once you have your consumer\u2019s attention, you only have eight seconds to hold that attention before they become distracted and leave your page. It is not enough to offer them a helpful headline, you also need even more detail, in the form of a subheading. This subheading should elaborate on and explain the header while summarizing the page content clearly and concisely in one sentence.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t waste your eight seconds by making your page visitors look for more information. Your consumers want fast, digestible information, so serve it up to them as cleanly as possible.;<\/p>\n Even if you have a consumer\u2019s attention, you don\u2019t necessarily have their purchase.<\/p>\n If a particular page visitor is impressed with the design and information, they still may not be sure if what you offer is what they need. You can make it easy for them.<\/p>\n Going back to our weight loss example, adding a tag that includes who this workout and diet plan is suited for, can help people know whether or not they should invest their money in it. Even a line that says, \u201cThis plan is perfect for students, new mothers, working women, and even retirees!\u201d is a great way to show your consumer that your product is not a waste of their money. Look, it says right there – it\u2019s perfect for me!<\/p>\n Another way to clarify your product or service is to give copious examples of how it can be used and its many benefits.<\/p>\n A bulleted, easy-to-scan list<\/a> of uses and benefits makes it even easier for interested parties to see whether or not they need what you offer.<\/p>\n For exmple, our weight loss landing page might mention a workout plan that lists the following benefits<\/p>\n When someone considering the product sees their specific desires listed right on your landing page, they are much more inclined to make a purchase.;<\/p>\n Whatever claims you make, provide data that supports those claims. Master copywriter, Neil Pate,l says, \u201cYes, you may be selling the best weight loss product out there, but a thousand other companies are making that same claim.\u201d Unless you can present statistics that prove you outperform your competitors, it\u2019s better not to make claims that you do.<\/p>\n Nothing is as powerful to consumers as the testimonials and reviews of other consumers. A thriving testimonial section, with legitimate, honest, and detailed reviews of your product and how it benefited the user, is crucial to convincing other consumers to make a purchase.<\/p>\n No matter how good your copy is, very few page visitors are going to be convinced by that alone. The marketplace is still driven by word-of-mouth recommendations. People want to see that others have had real success with your product before they invest any money in it, so provide them with those stories of success.;<\/p>\n For some reason, many landing pages lack this essential feature. This is a crucial part of your page – probably the most important.<\/p>\n The call to action encourages the consumer to go beyond simply viewing the page and into making a purchase. These calls can be in the form of links and buttons or even simple text which asks the consumer to call a number for more information.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Every landing page needs to give the consumer multiple opportunities to take action, not just one at the bottom, or one just below your headline.<\/p>\n Test a couple of locations and remember that as with all copy on your page, the call to action needs to relate directly to the product. Simply saying, \u201cClick here for more info\u201d or \u201cBuy Now!\u201d won\u2019t do the trick as well as a button that says, \u201cStart losing weight today!\u201d<\/p>\n1.
