Mobile Landing Pages: “To Be or Not to Be?”.
CampaignDesign
• Mobile Publishing Tools and Site Frameworks
• Mobile-Optimized Landing Pages
• Device-Specific Testing
• LPs make sense in many situations− To meet advertiser requirement
− To creatively move user towards conversion
− To filter out low-quality or low-intention leads
− To minimize “pocket dials” on click-to-call offers
• But there are exceptions− For offers with 1-click conversion
− For offers where lead quality not critical
• As always: Test, Test, Test !
General LP Design Fundamentals Apply to Mobile.
CampaignDesign
• Mobile Publishing Tools and Site Frameworks
• Mobile-Optimized Landing Pages
• Device-Specific Testing
• LPs act as targeting / filtering devices− Relevant and engaging
− Consistent with ad banner
• Good LPs motivate immediate action− Clear statement of value
− Limited options and choices
− Use of scarcity as an incentive
− Support progressive conversion
• Variation, testing, optimization are essential− Creatives and ad copy
− Position of call-to-action buttons and text
− Ads with and without images
− Et cetera
Mobile LPs Must Be Optimized for Mobile Viewing.
CampaignDesign
• Mobile Publishing Tools and Site Frameworks
• Mobile-Optimized Landing Pages
• Device-Specific Testing
• LPs must be viewable on target devices− Device-aware design to ensure rendering
− Small images to speed page loading
− Flash-free (except in limited situations)
• LP viewing must be mobile-optimized− Visually clean and simple
− Fonts readable without need to zoom
− Clear above-the-fold calls to action
− Universal icons to avoid user confusion
− Single-column design for natural expand/contract
− Brief text copy to avoid need for scrolling
− Link to standard website for smart devices
− Option: custom-designed LPs for high-converting devices
Mobile LPs Must be Optimized for Mobile User Input.
CampaignDesign
• Mobile Publishing Tools and Site Frameworks
• Mobile-Optimized Landing Pages
• Device-Specific Testing
• User input must be bullet-proof− “One finger, two thumbs” design for easy input
− Thumb-clickable LP elements to facilitate clicking
− Button isolation to avoid accidental clicking
− Easy-to-click links for required navigation
• Conversion must be friction-free− Short and easy-to-complete forms
− Click-to-call buttons for specific offers
− Consider Email bridging for long form enrollments
