As a marketer, a core of our efforts is attempting to attribute the sales, marketing, and advertising initiatives we’ve taken to moving our prospects along the customer journey. Prospective customers rarely follow a clean path through conversion, though, no matter how amazing the experience.
When it comes to advertising, though, acquisition costs can be quite expensive… so we do hope to constrain them so that we can observe and improve our campaign results. A landing page platform is often deployed for this. Here are five benefits:
Landing Page Benefits
- Attribution – by keeping landing pages away from other conversion paths, we can get a clear understanding of our return on advertising investment.
- Behavior – by limiting engagement with other resources, we narrow our prospects’ options and actions, ensuring they’re more likely to convert rather than browse.
- Simplicity – designing beautiful, fast, and simple landing pages increases the likelihood that a visitor will convert, regardless of the device.
- Lead Management – the ability to easily validate, store, submit, route, and respond to leads as they fill out registration forms.
- Testing – by utilizing a platform that incorporates testing methodologies, we can deploy different headlines, content, form fields, and designs that increase conversion rates statistically.
Example of a Landing Page
Notice some key characteristics of a simple landing page below – reduced navigation, strong contrasting elements, single call-to-action, heading, overview, and bullet points… all driving the user to convert:
