Presentation AgendaDefinition (Alternative)
• Landing Page is (possibly) your most expensive salesperson
• All PPC traffic runs through it
• Within 3 seconds it can turn customers on or off
• Train it, just like you would a salesperson
• And keep on “training” it ( = ongoing testing)

Presentation Agenda6 Basic Principles
• Focus the visitor on one, compelling offer
• Sell the offer, not the product
• Provide a clear, simple, direct, highly visible path to the desired action
• Minimize or eliminate “escape routes” including any and all links to the corporate Website
• Provide no more information than the visitor needs in order to take the desired action
• (PPC) Establish an immediate relevance with the search term

Presentation AgendaKeeping it Simple
• Does having more than one objective to a landing page impact its performance (i.e. conversion rates)?
• In two industry studies by a leading research firm, for an online computer retailer and online publisher, focusing the landing page on one primary objective increased conversions by 19% and 65%, respectively*

Presentation AgendaLanding Page Roadblocks
• “One-off” mindset
• Lack of resources
• Going through IT
• Sales requesting too many form fields
• Desire to turn LP into “catch all” page
• Solution:
• Nothing gets the attention of senior management like the funnel (put a dollar figure on the exits!)
