2. Landing Page, what is it?
According to Wikipedia . . .
In online marketing a landing page, sometimes known as a "lead
capture page" or a "lander", is a single web page that appears in
response to clicking on an advertisement. The landing page will
usually display directed sales copy that is a logical extension
of the advertisement or link.
Landing pages are often linked to from social media, email
campaigns or search engine marketing campaigns in order to
enhance the effectiveness of the advertisements. The general
goal of a landing page is to convert site visitors into sales
leads. By analyzing activity generated by the linked URL,
marketers can use click-through rates and Conversion rate to
determine the success of an advertisement.

Note on all of these landing pages that menus and navigation are removed. The pages are clean and support the call to action.
Landing Pages need to warm and engaging. Simple and to the point and must tie directly to whatever link they clicked to come there.Headline – Ties the to origination of the link and should be compelling, concise and creative. But don’t get so creative no one understands your point.
Content – Simple, straightforward and to the point. Bulleted information, try not to have more than 3 bullet points.
Form – Stayin on the KISS principal here. Everyone wants to have a ton of mandatory fields but those same people hate filling them out on someone elses website. Each mandatory field creates friction. According to www.responsecapture.com they ran a a/b split test and found that by simply not making the fields mandatory and removing the red asterisks people completed more fields and they received higher quality leads. The read asterisks actually create stress . . .
Landing pages are not just for e-commerce. Landing pages for are moving your marketing and social media to the next step, engaging with your clients and prospects and moving them into more a “relationship” with your brand.
