You’ve seen landing pages before. These are destination pages that organizations and entities can link to directly via advertisements, emails or search results. So, what makes them different from the home page of a website? And is using a landing page really a good fit for you or your organization? Let’s take a closer look!
What Makes a Landing Page Different
Landing pages aren’t just another part of a website. Each landing page is developed to be a part of a marketing campaign. For instance, when an organization has a sale or a cause that they’re trying to promote, a landing page can be used to provide their audience with all of the details AND link back to their website or guide visitors to their brick-and-mortar location. Could the campaign lead back to the organization’s home page? Of course! But a page that has all of the details of the promotion and directions for how to take action is much more useful, and having this information on a separate page (instead of the website’s home page) saves the organization from an expensive and time consuming website overhaul.
