Marteq's insight:

If you were to choose one candidate for MVT, let it be landing pages! But I hate testing LPs as they are after the fact. I'd rather deploy PageCritiq, then go A/B or MVT.

Build Landing Pages Powered by User Testing - Unbounce | #TheMarketingAutomationAlert

Build Landing Pages Powered by User Testing - Unbounce  | #TheMarketingAutomationAlert | The MarTech Digest | Scoop.it
Implement these 3 user testing tactics to your landing page and you'll increase your conversion rate and find new A/B testing inspiration.


Digest...


User testing is not about boringness or lab coats, it’s about putting a computer in front of real people and learning from what they do.

 

But, the proof is in the pudding, so here are three ways that you as a marketer can benefit from user testing:

1) Find Out What People Do Before They Visit Your Landing Page

Analytics tell you all about someone once they’re on your landing page, but what about everything they do before they arrive? Out of all of the possible sites, why did they choose yours?

If you can have a deeper understanding of WHY people are coming to you, then you can use that information to give your visitors an even better experience.

2) Learn From Similar Landing Pages

Often times you can learn just as much (or more) from watching people use landing pages that you’re not responsible for. You’ll generally be less defensive, and more open to some great feedback.

3) Start With Wireframes

Next time you’re going to create a new landing page, don’t wait until it’s designed and developed to get it in front of real people. Instead, save your company time and money by testing the wireframes.

Marteq's insight:

Hell, I'd love pre-launch user testing. However, it's very often a luxury that we cannot afford (clients, us, you, etc.). But for those with significant campaigns coming up, you may want to explore this approach. And you may want to apply this approach to your new web site (or redesign).

Best Practices in Conversion Rate Optimization Debunked - Unbounce | #TheMarketingAutomationAlert

Best Practices in Conversion Rate Optimization Debunked - Unbounce | #TheMarketingAutomationAlert | The MarTech Digest | Scoop.it

Key excerpt...


While there is plenty of room for intuition in CRO, these gut instincts need to be put to the test, and regularly. After all, as data-driven as CRO is, it is not down to a science to an extent where certain changes will always produce similar results (hell, even actual science has a hard time with replicating results!).

 

Since different pages have different goals, one-size fits all strategy is never applicable.


Conversion principles tested...

1.) Guarantees & Social Proof

2.) Abandoning the 3-Click Rule

3.) Me vs. You

4.) Dropping the Drop-down Status Quo

5.) Brevity & Conversions

Marteq's insight:

Moral of the story: TEST EVERYTHING. To blindly follow best practices puts you at risk of leaving opportunities on the table. Best practices are a great starting point, but NOT the end-all.

5 Variables to Test on Your Landing Page Headlines - Invesp

5 Variables to Test on Your Landing Page Headlines - Invesp | The MarTech Digest | Scoop.it

Summary...


  1. The Trigger & Benefit – A “trigger” in your headline gives readers a reason to continue reading your landing page. Simple trigger words include “Learn” “Get” “Save” or just about anything else that lets them know they are going to get something. The “benefit” outlines exactly what they will get.
  2. Power Words – Try powerful, compelling words. Something like this:
    Write Killer Headlines
    Headlines that Boost Your Sales
    A Fast, Powerful Way to Get Brilliant Results
  3. Keywords – Keywords are the internet’s great gift to marketers. They let you know the language of your customer. Try different words in different combinations with the other options in this list.
  4. Length - Do any research on this and you will find excellent advice supporting short, long and just about every length of headline. It should be as long as it needs to be – and no more. Sub-headlines – Make sure you try combining headlines with sub-headlines to help get more information across and improve the chances that your visitors will stay.
  5. Questions & Commands


Marteq's insight:

Quick, helpful article as you consider LP testing and optimization.
