Hi there, hope you're having a great Friday!
This is Colm and Simon from CommerceGurus, with a handpicked weekly roundup of eCommerce articles.
This is a very interesting article which looks at creating custom landing pages in your store which you can direct paid leads to, for example targeted Google or Facebook ad campaigns.
Landing pages should ideally be built for specific campaigns - these should be measured, tested, adapted, etc. and the goal is to create something that allows for optimal campaign performance for new users.
Objectives for these landing pages could include:
- Introduce your brand
- Instill trust / show popularity
- Present key selling points
- Introduce your product catalog
The article also looks at some strong examples in the wild which include Asket, Everlane, and Remarkable.
