Anyone can create a landing page, but bringing in the right people to it, and converting them is the challenging part.
If your landing page conversions are not as expected, and you are done trying the usual strategies, then you have landed at the right place. In this post, let’s look at some advanced strategies that can help you create one that increases the conversion rate of your landing page.
Did you know that adding a video to your landing page can increase your conversions by 86%?!
But why videos? Videos have the power to hook in your website visitors and make them stay on your page for longer. Automatically, they will learn more about your brand, your offering, and all this will have a definite positive impact on the minds of your visitors.
You have only 8 seconds to make a good first impression on your audience. So, how do you use it to your advantage? Simple – keep the attractive and important things above the fold.
Above the fold refers to the part of the screen that is visible to the visitor even without having to scroll down. This part of your landing page is the first thing that your visitors will look at. Hence, it is super important to give thought to it.
It is shocking to know that more than half of the businesses today use their home page as their landing page. This is the biggest mistake that can have a huge negative impact on your conversions. But, why should you have a separate landing page?
This is because, a landing page, on average, has around 20 to 40 links. These links can be a massive distraction to your visitors. Instead of clicking on the intended CTA, the visitors will change their attention to the other links.
Instead, have a separate landing page. Your landing page should have one, and only one link, which is your CTA button. This way, you are directing the visitors’ attention to only the intended CTA. Thus, you will notice a significant bump in your conversions.
Website accessibility is a huge issue faced by many internet users today. People with disabilities such as visual impairments, physical disabilities, and cognitive disabilities want to access the website just like you and me. And if such users find that your landing page is not accessible, they will be instantly driven away.
Without taking the right web accessibility measures, people with disabilities wouldn’t be able to access the content of your website using their assistive devices. Hence, simply by fixing your landing pages’ accessibility, you’ll see a massive difference in your conversions.
You can use an accessibility platform that will take care of all the accessibility issues on your landing page. Ensuring full accessibility will also keep your business safe from the super-expensive ADA lawsuits.
Having an exit intent pop-up is the last chance at converting your visitor. Such pop-ups might be slightly intrusive. But, since the visitor has decided to exit your page anyway, hence why not give it a last try?!
The key with exit intent pop-ups is to hook them in with an irresistible offer. Your exit intent popup can be the same as the landing page offer. Or, you can even offer the visitors something extra to maximize your conversions. Also, ensure that your exit pop-up’s copy is creative and on-point.
If you are an advocate of the omnichannel marketing plan, then chances are that you bring in the users to your landing page from different sources. These sources can be your website homepage, content upgrades, social media, paid ads, etc.
It is highly probable that visitors coming in from different sources were offered different messaging. It is also possible that the users from different sources come from different demographics, with interests and pain points that vary from each other.
So, to maximize the chances of conversions, it is best to design different landing pages for each of these sources. This way, you can offer a more personalized messaging that aligns with the initial source that was used to bring in the visitors.
There are no hard and fast rules for creating perfect landing pages. Somethings that work for your competitors might not work for you. Hence, experimentation and A/B testing is the key.
So, try to use these strategies to create your landing page and track your conversions. At least a few of these will work wonders and help you reach your goals quicker.
