Do Your Landing Pages Pass the Test?

TestEvery once and a while in a busy marketer’s work day, it is nice to take some time out to test your tried-and-true strategies. Sure, you’ve got great conversion rates – but what if they could be just a little bit better?

Here are a few ideas on landing page elements that you can test with a just a simple switch:

  • Field Type: Do your prospects prefer drop-down menus or free text fields?
  • Images: Would adding a product image help your conversions? How about a lifestyle shot? Maybe a data-oriented chart or graph?
  • Button Messaging: An interesting piece of research by HubSpot showed a huge different in clicks based on one simple factor – what you button says!
  • Thank You Messages: Try out different post-conversion offers to keep prospects engaged. Maybe after showing some interest in your product demo, they’d like to view a more in-depth case study. On the other hand, if they are still in the research phase perhaps a white paper would be more appealing.

Trying something new for a short time will help you determine if your design strategy needs an update or if you were on the right track all along.
