how to create an effective inbound marketing campaign | part 2: creating killer landing pages
DESCRIPTION
The second step in creating an effective inbound marketing campaign is by creating killer landing pages. A landing page features an image and description of the benefits of your offer, and a form for visitors to fill out in order to receive the resource you’ve created. A good landing page will target a particular audience, such as traffic from an email campaign promoting the offer, or visitors who clicked on a digital ad. By building a unique landing page for each of the offers you create, you can track the success of other parts of your campaign, such as your email marketing.

People have short attention spans, especially online.• Make your offer as clear as possible with the “blink test” – can the viewer understand your offer and what you’re asking of them in less than 5 seconds?• The title should make the basics of your offer immediately clear.

Example of a Landing Page
![Page 11: How to Create an Effective Inbound Marketing Campaign | Part 2: Creating Killer Landing Pages](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042817/559c52ae1a28ab10038b45b2/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The rest of the landing page means nothing if an overly complicated form drives away your potential leads.
The Form• Keep the form “above the fold,” and only ask for information that’s essential – too many questions, and people will be less willing to fill out the form, but if you request too little information, you won’t have what you need to evaluate and pursue leads.• Ideally, request the minimum info you need to contact and qualify the lead, usually not more than 4 or 5 fields, several of which may be optional.

Like satellites of your landing page, calls to action (CTAs) are placed across your web presence in strategic positions.They draw traffic to your landing page, helping to convert visitors into leads. You should place CTAs on your home page, products or services pages, blog, and About Us page to guide visitors’ decisions about what to do next.
