How to Create Squeeze Page with WordPress

When it comes to online advertising, it is natural for business owners to constantly look for new and better techniques that could encourage potential customers to perform the conversions they need. In most cases, the conversion needed would either be signing up for a product/newsletter or the purchasing of an item. To best ensure that they are getting the conversions they need, business owners will have to place their “call to actions” in a prominent location, or, implement a series of marketing techniques that can effectively capture their online viewer’s attention - one such method would be the usage of squeeze pages.

Squeeze pages are designed to do exactly so by “squeezing” prospective customers through the sales funnel from the landing page or acquiring their email addresses in the form of minor interruptions. When you visit other websites and notice a pop-up or link that appears with an advertising message containing benefits for the user, this is likely a squeeze page which brings about the next concern: user experience.

Considering the use of a website through the eyes of a potential customer, the pop ups, or link notifications, may be perceived as a source of annoyance. Therefore, it is imperative that business owners take action to quell the possibility of frustration by providing enticing, useful, and relevant offers that will encourage them to take action instead.

As an ideal, a good squeeze page should contain offers that are usually sent through emails for full viewing; this will ensure that one will also be able to collect email addresses with permission to send advertising content for future email marketing purposes. Business owners who supply information and resources should take care to ensure that theirs is one of a kind, containing information that is not easily searchable through sources like YouTube or Google. By being able to communicate the difference and usefulness of their business’s products and services, more customers would be willing to follow through with conversions. Some examples of offers and products that good squeeze pages can have are free software trials, eBooks, industry insights, discounts, and other informative emails.

Other elements of an ideal squeeze page include.

Design

The squeeze page design layout should be structured in a way that effectively captures and allows viewers to focus on the offer presented alone. Hence, it is advisable to sift through content and remove anything that could potentially be distracting to prevent visitors from navigating away. Some website owners have taken to dimming the rest of their web pages when revealing the pop up so that the visitor’s immediate focus is drawn to it. Business owners can also encourage sign-ups by choosing to add straightforward widgets that are linked to social media. This way, visitors can see which of their friends are also users of the website, and how many others are immediately benefiting from the website. The more trustworthy the squeeze page seems, the more willing others are to trust it.

Transparency

Transparency is yet another required factor when it comes to creating good squeeze pages as potential customers should be clear on what their information is going to be used for and what the website requires for them to do. Website owners can even decide to create and play a video that explains signup benefits if they so require.
