LANDING PAGES ARE THE BACKBONE OF MARKETING

Given the benefits accruable from marketing in and of its strategies, it is imperative to know what landing pages are. What they entail and the best ways to have one. In simple and concise terms, landing pages are not the general page of any website or blog: they are the targeted and clickable pages for viewers or visitors to make them land on a page, targets at driving public views, traffics or awareness to one’s products. Thus, for any click, you get something in return; traffic!. They are designed particularly to drive visitors to actions. In other words, it is a result-oriented strategy, directed to market a product, service or event.

Many of the extraordinarily large “Login”, “clock” or “sign up” buttons we see on a webpage are designed to lead us to landing pages. They are normally found with a click-to-get contact form and promotional texts along them. 

Therefore, for business owners, virtual assistants or bloggers, who have different PPC (pay per click) posters, or campaign ads, the question is how best to design a landing page? If directed, where are your traffic directed to? And for others, who might be thinking of investing on landing pages, just redirecting people to your homepage won’t do the work but if done properly, a well-designed landing page will surely give 100% ROI.

Additionally, they are considered to be the perfect medium of getting personal information like phone number, address, name, and physical location. This, business owners benefit from this as they don’t only sell their products but also stand to get valuable information from the public, thereby increasing their customer’s database. For those reasons, landing pages must be professionally design. Let’s move on!
