Don’t be so focused on driving traffic to your website without paying attention to your conversion rate. By improving landing page conversion rates you will have more acquisitions without increasing ad spend.

5 Ways to Improve Landing Pages.

1. Define Objectives

Know what you want to achieve from the start, i.e., more sales, data capture, viral marketing or simple branding exercise. This will provide a focal point for your campaign.

2. Know Your Audience

Know your ideal customer so you can prepare an attractive offer
Create your message accordingly
Try not to appeal to everyone, otherwise, it will appeal to no one

3. Get The Design Right

Your landing page should be specific to your message. Take away any content or navigation which distracts from your conversion process.

A good landing page includes:

Easily scanned content
Primary message is high upon the page
Rich media, e.g., images, video
Guarantee
Trust icons or testimonials
Social media integration
Professional Look & Feel

4. Clear Call To Action

Make known to your visitors what it is you want them to do next, such as:

5. Test, Measure, Tweak

Monitor your activity regularly. Increment changes to test and then measure its effect.

Grow your conversion rate to add sales without additional Ad Spend.
