Cap the frequency
1 - Attention Ratio
Attention Ratio is the ratio of the number of things you can do on a given page to the number of things you should do. Get landing pages to 1:1
2 - Context
Give prospects all the information they need in order to convert… Message Match is all about having a headline that closely matches the headline or call to action of the upstream ad/email.
3 - Clarity
If we make our visitors work to figure out what our offer is or why our business is unique, they will click away
Consider:
Campaign Value Proposition vs Ultimate Value Proposition
Information Hierarchy
Clear vs Clever
4 – Congruence
Aligning every element on your page with your singular campaign goal.
5 - Credibility
Create/source/request content for as many types of social proof as are relevant to describing the trustworthiness of your business. the success of your social proof lies in your ability to demonstrate the transformative effect of your product or service on the lives of your users.
6 - Closing
Ask them to do the thing you want them to do … CTA! Test your language.
7 - Continuance
After the conversion has taken place, your work’s not done. Ask for something…. Like a social share
You can’t trick people to read your email – Your subject line needs to be an extension of your email – not a decoy
