Everyone knows that you should use landing pages with lead gen forms to collect emails to build your list, but the inverse is also true. You should be sending your email marketing campaigns to landing pages, and here’s why:
- You can target the messaging specifically to your email content – something you can’t do if you’re linking from your email to your homepage or some other page on your site.
- You can get real-time conversion and traffic stats to measure the effectiveness of your campaign.
- You can A/B test your landing pages to optimize them for higher conversions.
- Your emails can be shorter and more succinct, as the majority of the content can be placed on your landing page. This will improve your chances of the email being read the whole way though, and makes your CTA bigger in relation to the length of the email.
Tip: Send plain text emails. Not only do they display properly in all email readers (as opposed to HTML emails that can get blocked or show poorly), but they also look more personal and tent to perform better.
Just remember, landing pages are your friend for both sides of the email marketing process. And with that in mind, enjoy that stats in the email infographic below, and remember to share the Tweetable tips at the bottom of the post so you’ll sound like an email expert.
