Simplicity EASE

Every extra second the potential
customer takes to work something out, will result in a lower
conversion rate.

Relevance EASE
“Ensure there is a bond between the
pre-click experience and
the corresponding post-click landing
experience”.
A seamless journey that considers visitor intent and continues
the theme of the messaging used in the earlier stages of
the funnel.

Clutter EASE
“Think about your ‘attention ratio’
and minimise the ratio of choices on your landing page vs the conversion
goals”.
Remove any superfluous content (or move it down the page) and make sure you have a primary “call to action” (CTA)
that is prominent and stands out.
Ref: Unbounce.com – 2015.

USPs PERSUASION
“Something remarkable is worth
talking about. Worth noticing. It’s
a Purple Cow. Boring stuff is
invisible.”
Seth Godin.
Make sure you shout loud and clear about
your competitive advantage and why you should be the chosen provider
from your competitor set.
Ref: Purple Cow: Transform your business by being remarkable (2009). Seth Godin.

Reassurance PERSUASION
“There’s nothing better than getting a good review, and customers like to
see them too when searching for products and
services online.”
People don’t like being the “guinea pig”. They need to
be shown that others have had a positive
customer experience. Social growth is
fuelling this expectation.
Ref: Google AdWords Product Team.
Click Through Rate +10 to 20%
ppc | display | cro | analytics | training
Deadline PERSUASION
“When access to something is restricted, the
perceived value for it increases. We
crave what we can’t have”
We don’t like to ‘trick’ visitors; but we also
don’t want to make it easy for them to procrastinate. We
want to give them a reason to act now rather than later.
Ref: Crazy Egg Blog (September 2014)
