Landing the Leads! Why Landing Pages are Marketing Maven, PostcardMania’s new BFF!

May 10, 2009 - PRLog -- In today’s market, 85% of consumers will go online to either glance at companies’ websites or search around on the internet to gain any data they can about a company before making a purchase. It’s the easiest way for them to quickly determine if they will be using your company or your competitor’s.

According to the ParkBlvdMarketing.com blog - A good Landing Page will convince visitors to submit their contact information to you. Within seconds, a conversion can be compelled simply by succinctly outlining the reasons your business is going to serve your visitor’s needs better than the competition.

PostcardMania launched several postcard marketing campaigns paired with landing pages where prospects could visit and download valuable, free marketing reports. The only thing required for prospects to gain access to these free reports was for them fill in their contact information. This targeted campaign resulted in a 15% increase in sales leads and saved over $140,000 in ad expenses within the first year. Seeing how effective this was, owner and CEO of PostcardMania, Joy Gendusa, decided to add landing pages (design and development) to PostcardMania’s line of marketing services at competitive rates to help boost lead generation for its customers.

Gendusa and Vice President of Marketing, Joe Niewierski, attended the 2009 MECLABS Professional Certification Program, conducted by Dr. Flint McGlaughlin, founder of MarketingExperiments. Both Gendusa and Niewierski became Certified Landing Page Optimization Professionals, which in layman’s terms means that they have the necessary training and certification to create landing pages that will be most effective for your business.  

“You have to offer your target market something that is valuable enough for them to want to give you their contact info,” says Gendusa. “Don’t offer a coupon for 25% off their first order, anyone can do that. By offering a free, downloadable report such as ‘Top 10 Things You Need to Know Before Hiring a Contractor’ positions you as the professional, you’re offering something valuable and you are gaining the trust of the potential client.”
