How to Increase Online Sales from Your Marketing Campaigns Using Sales Landing Pages

June 3, 2020

WW sales landing page a great example of how to increase online sales
This WW Sales Landing Page is a great example of how to increase online sales.

To increase online sales from your marketing campaigns; whether you are running Google Ads, sponsored Facebook posts, or perhaps a print ad in a magazine or newspaper; lead your audience directly to a page on your website that is optimized to “close the sale.”

A “landing page” is a page that a user enters your site on from another site, social media, email, etc. I use the term “Sales Landing Page” to distinguish a landing page that has all the elements to direct the user toward completing the desired action, which in most cases is a sale.

How Sales Landing Pages are optimized to increase online sales for a specific campaign:

  • Content is specific to the offering promoted in the campaign.
  • Mirror the language and imagery used in the campaign.
  • Move the user through the stages of the Buyer’s Journey all in one page:
    • Identify the problem or need of the buyer.
    • Define the solution to the problem or need.
    • Outline how your offering provides this solution.
    • Provide purchase and delivery options
    • Include elements to build trust:
      • Testimonials and/or Reviews specific to the offering
      • Logos/icons of relevant accreditations, awards, etc.
      • Logos/icons noting security of the purchase
    • Answer possible objections
  • Use images and videos to support your message and lead the visitor toward the purchase.
  • Contain no distractions:
    • Social media icons
    • Links outside the Path to Conversion
    • Irrelevant imagery and/or text
  • Include clear Calls to Action from the top to bottom of the page.
  • At the bottom of the page, when a sale may not be likely, provide another lesser offer or mailing list subscription to keep the user in the sales funnel.

Anatomy of a Sales Landing Page Optimized to Increase Online Sales

Start with a campaign targeted at a specific audience.
I’ve been targeted because I had signed up for a weekly online session with Oprah that is run by WW and perhaps other items I’ve liked on Facebook and profile settings.

I would suggest making this sponsored post even more targeted with information available within the Facebook advertising platform: age, gender, location, other interests, etc.

Provide a great first impression.
Includes branding and color scheme matching the sponsored post and most of the elements needed to engage the user to get more information or sign up right away!

While I recommend using a landing page that is specific to your campaign, WW has chosen to lead visitors right to the WW homepage, which has all the elements of an optimized sales landing page. This will work for them as it is optimized for the offering, but if the sponsored post was more targeted, as suggested above, the landing page should be more targeted also.

If the user isn’t ready to sign up, at first sight, she scrolls down for more information and some trust-building with the brand’s well-known spokesperson!

Time for More Supporting Information and Trust Building!

Add in more benefits, more trust-building with video testimonials, and some social responsibility.

More Information and Engaging the Traditional Members

Time to More Clearly Outline the Pricing & Delivery Options

No sign up by the bottom of the page? 

Make sure you carry out the sale with a shopping cart, checkout, thank you and confirmation pages that continue to mirror the look and language used up to this point, ensuring there are no distractions to completing the purchase.

Follow-up with a confirmation email that continues with the branding and language in line with your campaign.
Make sure to not online welcome, but to provide useful information to ensure that your new customer is fully engaged with your offering and your business.

Increase your online sales using Sales Landing Pages that are targeted and specific to your offering and your audience and lead from your initial campaign ad, post, or article right to the sale.

It was like a light was turned on for me

The Smart Happy Project

When I joined Sarah Leather and Ann Donnelly’s course, “How to Make Money Online and Become an Entrepreneurial Goddess”, I had a seed of an idea that at some point I thought I might need a website and this course could help with that. I was right about that, but what the course showed me was so much more. It was like a light was turned on for me. Being shown the simple online tools that can assist in researching, setting up, monetising and promoting your site has been invaluable (and all without the boring tech jargon that just numbs any creativity one might have had). I have gone from seed of an idea to completed website in 5 months, and yes I am proud of that! Anyone with an entrepreneurial side and wanting to do something new needs to do this course, without a doubt.

Without a doubt the best course I’ve ever done

glyniss trinder
“How to Make Money Online and Become an Entrepreneurial Goddess” is without doubt the best course I’ve ever done. The sessions had so much content and were made really interesting by Sarah Leather and Ann Donnelly’s well thought out presentation. I was aware how marketing on the internet was so powerful but had no idea how to draw people to my website. Now with all I’ve learnt I’m so amazed by how much my profile has lifted. I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to make more money online.

A great speaker and a knowledgeable advisor

Greg Mulcahy

While filming Ann’s talk at a Business of Social Media Conference, I was distracted by her highly creative manner of explaining social media and internet marketing for business. Her knowledge on the subject is vast, and her skills in re-producing that knowledge are plentiful. A great speaker and a knowledgeable advisor.

detailed understanding of the issues that faced a start up company

nic slocum

The website Ann created for us has been the single most important marketing tool we have used these past 14 years of operation. Better than social media and brochures combined I would say! It’s stunning position when whale watching is searched for has been a significant part of that success and, without a doubt, our position on search engines was achieved quickly and efficiently as a result of Ann’s detailed understanding of the issues that faced a start up company wanting to achieve a meaningful and valuable internet presence. Easy to work with, proficient and detailed.

someone who knows what they are talking about

Tony Cantwell, The Baby Greeting Company

Can’t recommend Ann Donnelly highly enough. There are people who talk about web solutions and it is evident they don’t have much hands on experience; but Ann has been trying, testing and expanding her work experience for many years and it is refreshing and reassuring to work with someone who knows what they are talking about.

She is a great web designer, who takes time to listen to what you want and to understand your business. She applies this knowledge then to her work and end product. She is creative and inventive and has offered plenty of suggestions to improve our website in terms of efficiency and customer service. Ann is trustworthy and reliable and I would have no hesitation is recommending her for any web project.

no jargon attitude

Ann is a very easy person to talk to; and she talks to you with a no jargon attitude which is of great help to someone who doesn’t know that much about web sites. She is a well versed person in her line of work and guides you through everything. She is a very trustworthy person and can be relied on to give you her honest opinion.
