We have seen some pretty outstanding social media campaigns out there but they fall flat before coming full-cycle. They generate interest but come up short of ACTION. Don't spend days or weeks coming up with the best social media campaigns only to leave out the most important part - the call to action! [CTA]
One of the most effective components of a social media campaign is the landing page. Do not confuse the Home Page of your website, or any page on your website for that matter, with a landing page. A landing page is a page that is not publicly visible when a visitor goes to your webpage. Instead, it is a specifically designed [hidden] webpage pertinent to the content of your social media campaign.
A campaign landing page must have, at minimum, a headline, an offer, and a conversion goal / CTA (call to action).
The average attention span is 8:25 seconds (Statistic Brain) so your landing page must be focused with no distractions.
A CTA can be any of the following:
Download Now - provide collateral/information that can be downloaded once a site visitor has registered with their email and/or contact information.
A Special Offer - perhaps you are offering a special for a product or service that is targeting new clients/customers. As in the example above, you'll want visitors to provide contact information in return for the resource/content you are providing.
Event Promotion - landing pages are a great way to get information out about an upcoming event. You may want to have a site visitor register for attendance or perhaps it is just a means to have a visitor download an agenda.
Whichever CTA best fits your campaign you also want to be sure you are using strong, clear words spelling out exactly what a visitor is to do. Words such as:
