Amidst the vast array of webpages, online Shopify sites, Instagram profiles and pop ups, sits the humble landing page. Used for executing a call to action upon readers and known for being very good at its job when done well, it is a unique beast to tackle no matter what your site.
Add in the complexity of a unique niche, with specific parameters surrounding what you are trying to achieve and landing page success is not a matter of simply trial and error or a little bit of luck. It’s a matter of a masterfully executed strategy with dedicated elements that let your landing page stand alone and shine, and let you have the business in return to show for it.
1. Generates Trust and Authority
Given that the subject matter at hand is health and well being, there is a certain degree of trust and authority that needs to be displayed for the individual coming to your site. Whether they have stumbled on your site by accident or have researched their path and ended up there by intentional means, the only way they will stay is if they feel they can get the answer they are after from someone who they can trust to be offering it to them.
A landing page is unique in that it only offers a small snippet of information. From a trust perspective, it does not have the same advantage as a website whereby it can offer extensive pages and content which accumulate to build authority and trust. This means, that you are tasked with the job of building this trust and authority across the content of just one page, often, above the fold, and often in a few short seconds – readers don’t stick around for long unless they are convinced of a reason to do otherwise.
Building trust on a landing page comes down to making the most of the space you have with the time that your reader will be there, and across the messages and information you are trying to portray. It’s tricky business, and you only get one shot, so keep these things in mind:
Make the Content Rich
Don’t fool around with fluff, filler or unnecessary words and statements. Refrain from saying the same thing two different ways and pack the space you have with as much valuable information as you can.
Add Testimonials
Getting a seal of approval, positive reviews or unbiased opinions from others, especially past clients is a great way to show people that you know what you are talking about, that you have experience, and that people already trust what you are doing.
Use Statistics
There is nothing like numbers, percentages and indisputable statistical facts to back up what you are saying, offer support for your product or service and to garner increased trust from your audience. Be sure to show the source of your data so that readers can verify your authority if they choose to.
2. Creates Attraction
Every time you create content, “you are making a statement and communicating with people – and your content is either attracting or repelling them.” Jess Stolberg
Jess Stolberg, a marketing consultant and online branding strategist speaks to the importance of having a landing page that creates attraction to the right people, by crafting it around a client profile.
In your business, the ultimate goal of a landing page is to pull the audience in to purchase your service or product or take the action you are requesting, such as sign up to your email list. This is not likely going to be successful if you are attracting the wrong people, who aren’t actually interested in your service or product at all.
In a case study published by Mailchimp, on Hom Sweet Hom design studio, they speak to another important angle of this, in which they emphasize the need to “design a landing page that matches your style.” What this comes down to is the content that is contained within the page.
For example, if you are promoting a design business, having a landing page that doesn’t exhibit any design work to show the audience your design capabilities does not bode well for drawing them in to purchase your design. Conversely, if you are aiming to promote yourself as a writer, skilled at crafting blog posts that bring in traffic and boost SEO, a lack of writing or subpar writing on your landing page won’t do you any favours.
