Leadpages aren’t replacements for your website. A leadpage will be one of the tools in your toolbox to help with your know, like, trust factor with your ideal customer persona (need more info on ICPs, watch my video all about personas).
If Leadpages aren’t a part of your marketing efforts, it’s time to change that! Keep reading as I break down the seven essential things you need to know about leadpages—and how they can help you convert visitors into buyers.
Recently, as I was promoting my FREE Masterclass, Create a Leadpage (in WordPress) that Converts Browsers into Buyers (Without the Tech Overwhelm), I received a great question from Jetta in Michigan: “Would a leadpage benefit someone selling things like a resale shop or a startup bookstore?”
Jetta—girl, yes! But maybe not for the reasons you’re thinking.
Leadpages aren’t meant to replace your website; they’re a powerful tool in your marketing toolbox to build your know, like, and trust factor with your ideal customer. (Need more info on ICPs? Check out my video all about customer personas!)
For example, a leadpage for your resale shop could offer a discount coupon in exchange for an email address. If you run an online bookstore, you might give away a free chapter of a bestselling book in exchange for a visitor’s name, email, and phone number. The possibilities are endless—start brainstorming!
Leadpages aren’t meant to replace your website; they’re a powerful tool in your marketing toolbox to build your know, like, and trust factor with your ideal customer.
A leadpage is a single page on your website designed to attract and convert visitors into leads—potential buyers who have expressed interest in your offer.
According to HubSpot’s Marketing Benchmarks from 7,000+ Businesses report:
✅ Companies see a 55% increase in leads when increasing their number of landing pages from 10 to 15.
And here’s another eye-opener from Campaign Monitor:
✅ Email marketing generates 174% more conversions than social media.
Social media is great for visibility, but it’s not where conversions happen. If you’re relying solely on social media to drive sales, you’re playing a losing game. Your goal should be to exchange valuable content for your visitor’s information—and that’s where leadpages shine.
- Write a powerful headline – Your headline is the first thing visitors see. Make it compelling and clear.
- Have a strong call to action (CTA) – Don’t make people guess what to do next. Be direct and explicit.
- Keep your CTA above the fold – Visitors shouldn’t have to scroll before they see your sign-up form or button.
- Don’t ask for too much information – Only collect what you truly need. If you don’t need a phone number, don’t ask for it.
- Test your leadpage – Make sure your page works properly and that your messaging resonates. If it’s not converting, tweak and test again.
- Drive traffic to your leadpage – Just because you built it doesn’t mean people will find it. Promote it via social media, email marketing, and ads.
- Don’t be afraid of long-form sales pages – Studies show that longer sales pages convert better than short ones. Provide valuable information to persuade potential customers.
