Let’s start with “What is a Landing Page?” Technically it is the page that opens up when you are interested in a free download asking you for your name and email address. Now we’ve got that out of the way. For you the small business owner it is an amazing tool to use creatively to help increase your profits by focusing on a specific short term goal. For example if your goal is to sell lots of Easter Gift Baskets, then you may get people to sign up for a discount code, deliver the discount code into their mail box which they can then use to go shopping on your site for their East Gift Baskets. Landing pages, like emails or advertising campaigns are more effective when they talk to your customer in a way they can relate to. Importantly this copy should be concise, true to your brand and relevant. Writing your landing page copy can be the difference between a click or no click, so here are 5 tips on how to write compelling copy for your landing page. 1. The Headline: Start by writing an attention grabbing headline that really jumps out and grabs your reader’s attention. It should be click worthy in an instant, so it is wise to spend a great deal of time writing this masterpiece. Try writing a minimum of 30 headlines before settling on one. Here are some examples to give you a better idea. 2. The Body: Keep it simple, informative, and to the point. If your goal is to promote a sale, give a sense of urgency in your copy. If your goal is to collect email addresses from your customers, be upfront about why you are asking for their information and what type of communication they can expect to receive from you in the future. Examples of words to create a sense of urgency: sign up now, only 2 hours left for this deal, be the first, don’t miss out on this offer, get this right now, offer expires at midnight, 100 people have already signed up.
