04# Content for specific targets
What we liked

08# Landing pages 100% oriented to sell your produc t
What we liked
© Multiplica 2009 - Page | 25 |
For some products or promotions, a good landing page will be a good solution to capture clients.
Banco Santander or Chase’s landing pages are effective because of their clear message, outlining figures and the best facts of the service in few sentences and clear call to action offerings that need no scrolling to be accessed.
09# Forms that leave no room for escape
What we liked
© Multiplica 2009 - Page | 26 |
Chase’s forms offer a good example on how to make a more persuasive form: they indicate the steps and the moment in the process we find ourselves in, explanations of the documents we are going to need, anticipate doubts we might have and reinforcing security.
10# With reinforcements when the client has doubts
What we liked
© Multiplica 2009 - Page | 27 |
When a user has a doubt, Bank of America detects the situation and proactively launches a chat making suggestions for ways to solve doubts and continue with the process.
