What is a landing page?
A landing page is any web page that a visitor can land on, but in digital marketing, it’s usually a standalone page, different from your homepage or any other page, that has a single and focused purpose.
The main purpose of a landing page is to convert and build a list of leads that can help with more personalized marketing campaigns using email, paid ads, or other types of targeted marketing.
It’s one step closer to a visitor becoming a customer of your products. Your landing page lets make a sale, some sort of special discount, piece of information, or a deal, in return for providing contact information.
Types of Landing Pages
There are many landing pages but each has its specific goal depending on the business or store. Generally, all landing pages are categorized into two categories: lead generation and click-through landing pages.
1. Lead generation landing pages:
This landing page does not offer your final product or service, but something level up in the funnel. By providing contact information to obtain the deal, the visitor becomes a lead that you can now follow up with in the future, via phone or email.
2. Click-through landing pages:
On these landing pages, there is no form on the page. The page gives information or something dedicated to explaining the features and benefits of the offer, and deals, and when the user clicks on the button, it redirected them to a new page where the user obtains the offer or deal.
