Effective Landing Pages: What They Are And How To Get Them
Today, we are just swarmed with choices we have to make on a daily basis. We weigh our buying decisions carefully and spend increasingly more time and effort on product research and comparison shopping. Jeez, how do you stand out and grab your market share? As usual, we have something up our sleeve. That’s right: we’ll be talking about effective landing pages today! Read on and take notes!
Imagine what a typical website looks like. Beautiful banners, a few dozens of top-selling products, most popular categories, a few competing CTA buttons, a countdown timer, customer testimonials, attention-grabbing Instagram feed, social media share buttons, a subscription form, engaging blog posts, a search bar…
All of them compete for the prospect’s attention. This is what makes a great homepage. This is where visitors can get to know your brand and its values and explore your product range. But regardless of how nice your Homepage is, it is simply too generic and distracting to convert customers effectively. With today’s market being so competitive and oversaturated, you can’t afford to cater to all audience types at once. One size doesn’t fit all anymore.
Okay, but what about product pages? Obviously, product pages are designed for products, aren’t they?
They are. But on a typical product page, there are also numerous elements that might interfere with the customer purchase journey, distract potential clients from making a purchase, and carry them away from the checkout page.
In other words, typical product pages lack focus and fail to prompt engagement. Predictably, this leads to higher bounce rates and lower conversion rates.
To motivate the people you’ve fought so hard to win to buy from you, you need to capture their interest and hook them with your offer. Here’s when a landing page comes into play.
What is a landing page?
A landing page is a standalone conversion-centric page that your prospects land on after they click your ad (in an email, social media post, search ad, etc.) or a search result. It has one goal: to convert by focusing on one offer.
Thanks to this hyper-focus on conversions and immediate engagement they trigger, effective landing pages make a golden opportunity to convert visitors into paying customers. Unlike websites, they give customers-to-be a single path to the destination point and uninterruptedly guide them from clicking on an ad to completing a purchase.
On a good landing page, visitors are way more likely to complete their purchasing flow as it’s free from distractions and offers comprehensive information about your product without having them search, for example, for shipping or privacy terms.
In short, the sales landing page concept boils down to the Rule of One: one product, one offer, one action.
Why use a landing page?
According to this survey, landing pages have proven to convert two times more visitors into paying customers than typical product pages. Plus, landing page customers tend to spend twice as much time on a page as those sent to an ordinary web store. In other words, you have much better chances of achieving the full profit potential.
Standalone landing pages offer almost endless growth opportunities to business owners. With effective landing pages, you can:
- Promote high-ticket / complicated / new-to-the-market products in a more convincing way
- Generate even more demand for your best sellers
- Make new product launches a runaway success
- Test out product ideas
- Run limited-time special offers
- Supercharge your paid social and search campaigns
- Tailor content to different client segments
- Target your prospects in a more efficient way
- Win back lapsed customers and decrease drop-offs
- Encourage better visitor engagement and get more loyal customers
- Create a stronger business and form a deep bond with your customers
- Slash customer acquisition cost
- See higher ROI
- Drive traffic to your website and gain traction
- Get customers’ email addresses and build mailing lists
These are only the most obvious benefits you can reap from using landing pages. As the saying goes, the sky is the limit.
Who can benefit from effective landing pages?
Great news: landing pages can be your go-to solution regardless of whether you’re a long time pro or you’re just starting out.
-
Are you doing niche research to get started?
You can quickly hit the ground running by giving a few niches a try without investing a lot of time and money in filling the whole store with products you aren’t сompletely sure about.
Here’s how you can quickly understand if your product is going to be in demand on the market: select a product → create a landing page → launch a marketing campaign. If sales are not that great, just give another product a try. Congrats! You’ve just tested your hypothesis without spending weeks and hundreds of dollars on building a whole website!

Are you struggling to get sales from an already launched online store?
To get people to know your brand, there’s no need to promote all the products you have in your store. Instead, you might want to pick the most promising items and build effective landing pages for them. This way, concentrated marketing efforts will make your campaigns more efficient. Apart from breaking the sales record, you can drive traffic to your website so your landing page visitors can see the whole range of products.
-
Have you already launched not only an online store, but also a few marketing campaigns?
If you already have an understanding of how to market products, it’s high time you leveled up your marketing strategy. Thanks to relevant messaging, a compelling CTA, and sound social proof, landing pages might be your secret marketing weapon that fuels your conversion rates.

Hello! I hope you are well! Just to make sure I have understood the way it works… So, if someone clicks on a product for which I have the landing page add on set up, that landing page will start popping up on that person’s screen every time they use their email, social post, search ad, etc.
Following this sequence: select a product → create a landing page → launch a marketing campaign, are we talking about a Facebook ads campaign to bring people to click on the link and let the landing page add on do the retargetting?
Best regards

Hi Marco, thank you for your interest!
Here’s how it works:
1) You select a product
2) You create a landing page for this product
3) You put the landing page link into your promotional materials (Facebook ads, emails, Instagram stories, etc. – wherever you fancy)
This landing page doesn’t replace or cancel your original product page: they both exist at the same time, but the difference is, a random site visitor won’t be able to see a landing page while just browsing your products. Visitors can only come to this landing page after clicking on the link in your promo materials. And, as they are interested in the product (since they clicked on the ad) and see all the necessary payment/shipping details right on the landing page (we made sure the layout is as informative as possible), they get much more likely to make a spontaneous, impulse purchase without leaving this page and browsing your (or competitors’) other offers.
