The Top Landing Page Mistakes You’re Still Making in 2021 (and How to Fix ‘Em)

https://unbounce.com/landing-pages/top-landing-page-mistakes-2021/

Do you feel you’re listening to all the advice, making necessary changes, and following what the pros are doing, yet still don’t have the conversions you want?  It could be possible you are making some critical mistakes. The latest article from Unbounce is here to lay out some of the top mistakes eCommerce websites are making and how to find the right balance for you and your company.

We won’t dive into them all here, but some of these critical mistakes include driving all your traffic to one generic landing page. Does this sound like you? Ever heard the saying, “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket?” This is what you are doing when you only have one generic landing page. Not everyone is the same; you need to tailor different landing pages to appeal to different users. According to HubSpot research, companies with 31-40 landing pages get seven times as many leads as companies with only 1-5 different pages. We know that seems like a lot but remember, small steps in the right direction will eventually get you there.

Another huge mistake eCommerce businesses make is to try to close on cold audiences. You need to pre-heat the oven before you can stick the turkey in. One huge mistake Unbounce found was too many landing pages are designed as tools for closing the deal. The goal of your landing page when reaching out to new consumers should be to familiarize them with your brand. Don’t be the company that scares them away before they even get a chance to know you.

Here is an example from Industrial Strength Marketing. They offer you a chance to get to know them by offering you free knowledge in the form of an ebook. This is a great way to get your foot in the door and not have your new visitor run for the hills.

https://vwo.com/blog/the-ultimate-handbook-on-writing-the-perfect-call-to-action/

Too many marketing teams neglect the CTA’s (call-to-action) across their platforms. VWO shares that more than 70% of small business websites lack a CTA on their homepage, and of those companies that do, many don’t know how to formulate them properly. That’s what this handbook is all about—teaching you how to utilize CTAs to promote more conversions. That’s what it’s all about, right?

This article explains the different types of CTA’s and where to use them, as well as teaches you six ways to write a persuasive CTA. (For an in-depth explanation, see VWO’s article in full)

1. Using action words in the copy is a must
2. Stir up those emotions
3. Creativity is key
4. Take your audience to the land of promises
5. Play with colours and choose the best size
6. Appeal to their FOMO

Did you know colour is one of the biggest overlooked factors when designing your CTA’s? According to a study by Emma, 85% of people purchase a specific product or service based on colour.
