Headline  with a Hero image that arrests the eyeball

Your headlines must be the first impression to grab a visitor’s attention to make him or her understand the value of your product.It must nurture the interest of the reader and  must nudge them to read more, to understand what would they gain by using your products or services.

Highlight a well-chosen image that clearly tells the visitors about the product or service and it’s functions. What does he or she  achieve by buying the product or service? Mind you, this is the ‘Age of Instagram.’ Conversion rates will go down if you do not use high quality relevant images.

Keeping away from Stock Photos

Don’t you think, there is a good chance that your visitor has already seen that generic stock photo that you are about to use.  If you are looking out to initiate a personal connection with your audience with regards to your product or brand, they wouldn’t be interested in the image that isn’t personal to your product or your brand. Use an original picture to spark the right emotion.

The Product is the point of Focus  

Make the visitors’ eye go right on the product by picking a large enough, high-quality image. Ensure that you do not distract the visitor from the copy that leads to the CTA at the same time. The visual path to navigate, must be extremely easy for the consumer and you have the power to make it so.

“On the average, five times as many people read the headline as reads the body copy.”

• David Ogilvy

According to Marketo, 96% of visitors who come to an eCommerce landing page template, are not ready to buy.

Always to the Point

Headline?—keep it short and keep away from being clever. If they don’t understand what you are talking about, you will lose them. In all high conversion landing pages, headlines have a maximum of 10 words and bring in clarity at the very beginning. Inject the cleverness in the content to hook your visitor to read more.

Simple yet powerful CTAs

Every element on an eCommerce landing page is important. But CTAs are on the top of the list.  Your CTA button must clearly let a customer know what action they should take by standing out to him or her when they are on  your page.

Reliable and credible reviews

Trust is crucial for conversions and including credible customer reviews on a landing page makes a huge impact on conversion rates. Have you ever purchased anything from Flipkart or  from Amazon without checking the reviews? Never use anonymous testimonials as your customers always trust the opinions of another consumer.And, they must be “actual people.”

Mobile responsiveness

Make your eCommerce landing pages always responsive to the mobile screens. Remember, most of your visitors use mobile phones than computer screens.

A/B Testing

If your landing page isn’t tested, then it isn’t up to its  full potential. Can’t decide between two images? A/B test them.Not sure which CTA to use for your particular audience? Let data decide for you.Without A/B testing your landing page, you’re leaving a bunch of money on the table.
