What is a landing page?
A landing page is a standalone web page that a potential customer can only arrive at through a sales or marketing campaign. They’re designed to target an audience, grab their attention, and convince them to take one specific action.
A few common calls to action for landing pages include:
- Sign-up forms
- Special purchase offers
- Sales lead generation
The goal of any landing page is to convert visitors into customers, and they have a great track record — the average landing page conversion rate is 2.35%.
The landing pages with the best chance of conversion are mobile-optimized and design-oriented. They lead the customer to the CTA through simple sales-focused copy and brand design. This is particularly important for email marketing campaigns, as most emails are opened on mobile.
