How to create a landing page for your email campaign?

How to create a landing page for your email campaign? It comes out that providing a landing page is very likely one of the most important parts of an effective email marketing strategy. Creating the right target page for your MaxBulk Mailer email campaign is crucial if you are really looking for results. But what is all this about?


Landing page and call-for-action button

What is a landing page


Let start with the Wikipedia definition: In online marketing, a landing page, sometimes known as a "lead capture page", "single property page", "static page", or a "destination page", is a single web page that appears in response to clicking on a search engine optimized search result, marketing promotion, marketing email, or an online advertisement.

In summary, it is the web page where your mail recipients will be taken to after clicking on a call-for-action button, link, or picture on your message.

Indeed you are sending a bunch of emails with a bulk mailer very likely because you want the message recipients to do something.

You want people to purchase your product, subscribe to your newsletter, watch your last YouTube video, download an App, etc. You may also want to convert your message recipients into leads.

The call-for-action button


To get the expected results, you have to create a simple and attractive message with some button or picture to trigger an action.

In other words, the message has to be clear and should make as many recipients as possible click on a call-for-action button, picture, or link. You have to encourage them to take action and visit your landing page.

How to create a landing page for your email campaign


You have the choice here. You can create a new page on your website, specially designed for your campaign. It is recommended not to send people to existing pages but to a page closely linked with your message.

As an alternative, you can also use a landing page service.

Test your landing page thoroughly


Test everything as if you were one of your recipients! Yes, that is the most important thing to do actually. Send the message to yourself. Imagine you are one of your list recipients, read the message, click on the call-for-action button, and see what you get.

That sounds obvious. Well, you can't imagine how many times I have received marketing emails that, in my opinion, are a total failure. Most of the time, because of a badly designed landing page. You have to test the whole thing thoroughly from the recipient's perspective!

The history of iCash and Peggy Première

The iCash development was projected in the late eighties but actually began in the early nineties. The very first version was released by the end of 1991. At the time, it was built to run on Microsoft Windows 3.1 and IBM OS/2. It was coded using the Pascal language. The development of the application continued up to the release of version 2.0 on May 1995. The application wasn't known as iCash but as 'Peggy Première'. Peggy because of the Muppet Show character and the analogy with a piggy bank. And 'Première' refers to the shooting of the first scene of a movie (it means 'First' in french). Peggy Première was supposed to be the best Personal Finance software at that time. Well at least in Spain, where I was leaving. The software was only available in Spanish, not even in french my mother tongue nor English. There were no international sales projected. I spent a decade selling Peggy Première, sending 3'5 floppy disks by mail with cash on delivery as t...

Maxprog 16th anniversary

Maxprog just turned 16 years old last monday. Believe me or not, it has been a quite pleasant journey. That's very likely because I do what I always wanted. I am a self-taught vocational software developer, I started programming when I was around twelve. In my place computers were like UFOs so no one could help you or even understand you. I have always been fascinated by algoritms (and spinning things), I started very early and never stopped however, being fascinated by something and creating a company are two different things that require very different skill sets. Indeed, in order to be successful creating a company you have to learn about business, you have to create real products, market them, handle payments and after-sales support. Later you may need to hire people, outsource stuff, learn basic accounting etc. Finally you have to fight against your competitors, maintain a good visibility on the internet and take the right decisions in order to continue in business. Most peopl...
