What are Landing Pages? How is Landing Page different
from webpage?
Landing page is a special purpose webpage:
Contains information about single offer.
All elements on landing page support the
said offer/objective
Contains lead capture form or call-to-
action link that leads to form
Usually not a part of website navigation
The page where you want campaign traffic to
land for lead capture
A Landing Page is NOT:
a page for detailed description of
product/services
a page for corporate info
A Landing Page does not contain navigation
elements.
7. Sample landing page
1. No navigation
2. Focused Content
3. Form for Lead Capture

8. Why use Landing Pages?
You run ad campaign with specific objectives. Redirecting a
visitor to website may confuse him and he may navigate
away.
Landing Page would prompt the visitor to take an action.
Most Ad Campaigns are PPC. Without lead capture landing
page, you are wasting ad clicks.
Landing page gets you visitor details.

12. Headline
Visitor will spend 3 seconds or less on reading
the headline. Therefore, it
Should be Short, to-the-point & catchy
Must match message on Ad Copy
Should have summary of offer/value/benefit
Use sub-headline (if needed)
Should stand in font color & size
Using Numbers in Headlines also works well
Numbers in Headline seem attractive

14. Benefits
Emphasize benefits of offer in headline
Use bullet points to highlight benefits
Perceived value must be greater than perceived cost
Don’t confuse ‘features’ with ‘benefits.’ Value is not about who you
are but what visitor will get from offer
• [Bad] Product is highly configurable and can be customized
for any needs (describes features)
• [Good] Increase Employee Engagement, Retention and
Productivity (describes benefits)

15. Perceived Benefit is high: Rs.
1000/- OFF on Rs. 8000/- Holiday
Package makes decent enough
offer.
Perceived Cost is less: Visitor has
to give his/her Name, Email ID
and City to claim offer. He is not
even being forced to book
package then & there. Thus
perceived cost is very less.
Whenever Perceived Benefit > Perceived Cost, probability of form fill increases.

16. Image/ Media
Provide at least one supporting image / video
Use sources like DepositPhotos, GettyImages, ShutterStock to buy images
Researches show that videos can increase conversion by 80% (videos are engaging)
However, don’t overdo media elements:
i. Too many images can appear tacky
ii. Big videos can increase the loading time

over yours. You can use any of the following credibility builders:
List of Customer Logos, Customer Testimonials
Product Reviews

However, don’t go overboard with trust building. use only a couple of these items at a time.
