Well, let?s take a look at the anatomy of our landing page!
1) The offer
Our offer consisted on a webinar with amazing and requested content. During the event, 3 brand-new products were released; these products turned LeadsBridge into an extremely powerful lead generation suite that now allows our customers to connect several lead sources with more than 200 CRMs and Email Marketing software.
A juicy offer sparks interest! Make sure you offer something that your clients are actually looking for or need.
2) The headline
The headline includes numbers and a direct benefit for the customer; making clear what information they?ll get during the webinar and that advantages come for them with the improvements to the platform.
Be clear about what you are offering and validate the information through numbers and data.
3) The Call To Action availability
The ?SAVE MY SEAT NOW? registration button is available without scrolling, which translates into easy access and keeps the call to action at hand, and on sight, increasing the chances of conversion.
The button is also available no matter where on the page a customer is, if they scroll down for further information, they will still see the registration button.
One of the most important features a landing page should have is availability, it should be easy to understand and focus on the lead generation form so potential clients will be prone to making a decision and go ahead with the conversion.
4) The faces!
Photos and information about the webinar hosts gives your landing page a personal and unique touch. People feel more compelled to participate and get this sense of closeness that brings the power of emotions into the game, for your benefit.
It also shows transparency and helps validate the information and prize offered in exchange of a registration.
5) The “less is more” approach
191 words were all it took to let our potential clients know what was in it for them. 191 words from the title and the hosts description to the bottom of the page.
Simplify and be concise, brief but comprehensive, when writing your copy; delivering your message clearly in the least amount of words will allow your customers to keep their attention focused on the message, prize and call to action, leading to more conversions. According to the Unbounce report, most lead generation landing pages success is correlated to shorter copy.
6) The loading time
Our landing page has a fast loading time, ranging from 642 ms to 4.20 seconds.
