Christmas Conversion Principles: Lessons Learned
When Choosing a Card for your Boss, Don’t be too Safe.
Playing it safe often means being boring. Open rates will suffer.
Do not play it safe or open rates will suffer.
Don’t let your designer make the decisions.
One man’s beautiful design is another’s reading nightmare. Don’t let design get in the way of communicating. Do not lose your message, you are after a brand new CRO budget, after all.
Over Designed Card
Don’t deliver less than you promise.
Making promises is the best way to get people to open your cards — and read your landing page. However, if you over-promise, you can do more damage than good. Conversion rates improve when there are good reasons to open the card.
Flattery works, but underpromise and overdeliver.
Use copy that engages the reader.
Our brains need to be challenged to be engaged. Rhymes, humor and alliteration will work to engage the reader and get them to take action.
Use engaging copy to convert.
Be interactive.
Sometimes you just have to get them involved to get them interested and your CRO budget secured. Consider asking them to do something on your page.
