Before we continue, let’s answer what a lead magnet is and why you need to use them. A lead magnet is a marketing term for a free item or service that you give away to gather your contacts information.

When you produce a high-converting lead magnet, it’s extremely hard for your target audience to say no. The more you test and hone in on what works, the more you will generate highly qualified leads. That’s the goal, right?

Here are a few of the top converting lead magnets for you to try.

• The E-book. This lead magnet is one of the more successful lead magnets you can use.
• Mini-Courses. This online education industry is a $275 billion industry- not to be missed. Even weekly emails with a video link will get you the conversions you need.
• Checklists. These simple lists are a tried and tested way to produce a high converting lead magnet.
• In 2022 Podcasts are HUGE! Podcast listeners have grown by 29.5% in 3 years.

Unbounce has done it again, offering us gold in an article. This not-to-be-missed article offers you insight into where you might have gone wrong in 2021 and help you use that to push ahead in 2022.

According to Twilio, COVID-19 accelerated companies’ digital communications strategies by six years. This means heaps of new competition and in turn, means the need to stand out is at an all-time high. 

So, what is one of the biggest mistakes of 2021 that you might be guilty of? Not using AI. According to researchers, the use of AI soared between 2018 and 2020, jumping from 29% to a staggering 84%. If you’re not using it, your competitors are.

What Homepage Re-Design Decreases Bounce Rate?

https://guessthetest.com/test/which-homepage-redesign-decreased-bounce-rates/

Bounce Rate is defined as the percentage of visitors who view your site and then leave rather than continuing to other pages within the same site.

Guess the Test asks us what re-design decreases bounce rates? 

• Version A – Homepage design with a series of product categories
• Version B – Homepage design with a dropdown menu selector 

What option do you think decreases the bounce rate by 7%? Yup, you are right- version B has users more inclined to use the dropdown menu selector and continue onto the next page. 

Guess The Test

In an attempt to create a clear and prominent Call To Action (CTA), the re-designed version stripped away all potentially distracting elements and displayed only the dropdown menu selector.

Just another example of why it’s imperative to always be testing.
