If you go to a trade fair, you will get an idea how a landing page should work. In trade fairs, the makers of the products or their agents explain in less than two minutes the best parts of their products or the uniqueness of their services. They are only given so little time because the retailers have to check out other products and booths in the trade area. Two-minutes work for the benefits of the product-maker because his agents would be forced to devise extremely efficient ways to market the product. In that short period of time, every second is so precious and every word uttered or facial expressions shown are so valuable. At the middle of the explanation, the speaker-agent must convince the retailers or the buyers to accept the product brochure and to convince them to call. The quickness and efficiency of marketing agents on the floors of the trade fairs must be emulated in designing landing pages from free website templates. The words, images, contents, and special effects found on the landing pages must convince the potential buyer in the first few seconds after clicking the advertisement link or logo. To guide you in your goal of developing superb landing pages, here are four surefire ways to effective landing pages:

1) Emphasize Clarity of Contents

Clustered texts and vague images should not be placed on the landing pages. The viewer should see and read the items clearly. He should know that you are selling something and he should know that the items you are selling are real. The welcome sign should be clear enough to show your purpose. Suppose you are selling your goods on bargain sale. Then it is much nicer if you post the words in huge typefaces and bold letters. If you can add some animation on the texts to catch the attention of buyers, then you have to do it. While clustered and small texts can still be read, the viewer-reader-buyer must exert effort in doing so or exert effort to find out the existence of the contents. Experience tells us that if the website contents of the free websites failed to catch the attention of the viewers, the viewers would never waste their precious time looking or scanning the page for the relevant contents.

2) Place Relevant Contents

The relevant contents are the items needed to grab the attention of your viewer, seconds after they click the ad logo or the ad link. When we say relevant contents, it doesn’t mean that the landing page must include everything about your company, the marketing strategies involved, the people working for you, the charity organizations you are supporting, and other stuff. A relevant page contains the items a buyer is looking for or the ones he need to make up his decision whether to buy your goods or not. He doesn’t care whether 20% of your profits go to Red Cross. Information like the actual price, promo, delivery specifications, quality of material, store location, or accepted credit cards are the ones he want to see or read. Besides, when someone clicks the ad logo, his primary intention is to check out the product and determine whether the product is worth his money. He really doesn’t care about items like your charity status or the pictures of your employees helping an old woman cross the street. Stay focus with your goal and you only place relevant contents.

3) Add Plenty of White Space

When someone clicks an ad link or ad logo, he uses his eyes (and ears) to see the contents. He uses his eyes to make the observation. As an internet marketer, you don’t want to cause a single second of eye strain on any website viewer. You want him to get a pleasant experience while he is checking out the contents of the landing page. To achieve this goal, you have to use more white spaces or reduce the heaviness of the color scheme. Studies show that white does not place too much strain on the eyes. The white background can also emphasize the more important texts or contents. The website viewer will focus more on the contents rather than stare at the spirals or colorful curves on the background. Recall that you need to get his attention ASAP after he clicked the link.
