MOST CLICKED: As more and more mature consumers flock to online avenues for gathering information about your brand and moving themselves father down the purchase funnel, having a sound landing page strategy is critical. First and foremost, your landing page should serve as a vehicle for lead capture. Ed Kedzierski recently shared his tips for creating great landing page forms:
*Avoid lengthy fields: Keep it simple as long forms can be a huge turn off. Rule of thumb: if you aren’t going to use the information don’t ask for it.
*Adjust the styling of your form: Make your form appear even shorter—less is more when it comes to driving completions.
*Don’t Submit: Try other wording on the button to capture information that more closely relates to the action and drives higher conversions.
*Eliminate Fear: We found in our Social, Silver Surfer research that privacy concerns run high, especially among boomers and beyond. You’re capturing personal information, put people at ease by including your privacy policy and reconfirming a safe submission.

In an age where everyone is looking to stand out, incentives are typically a go-to for quickly driving prospect interest and action. Marketing Profs recently shared an article regarding free offers and how you can measure effectiveness.
The reality is that free is never free for the marketer. There’s always an expense that has to be paid, even if it’s not paid by the customer. Moreover, that cost is often higher than marketer anticipates.
The article explored a variety of “free” incentives, including product and content, along with benefits to utilizing each. At the end of the day, as marketers it is our job to evaluate potential incentives we want to include and ensure it is not only worth the cost but relevant to our brand.
