The Reasons Why Interactive Perform Better Than Static Content

As powerful as landing pages primarily were at translating web traffic into leads and revenues, they turned out to represent a quite static, conventional type of page. These classic formats can generate results, but their efficiency is limited.

 

Interactive content can enhance digital experiences. From home pages, to deep links in landing pages, when it comes to conversion-oriented landing pages, interactive content is definitely a game-changer.

 

In this playbook, we’ll walk you through the reasons why interactivity takes Landing Page performance to outstanding levels.

How to Use a Landing Page to
Show the Content's Value

A landing page in digital marketing is used for the purpose of generating conversions. Below are some tips on how to leverage your landing page in order to effectively generate higher lead conversions.

5

Create Engagement with Quiz Qestions

Use the power of interactivity to create a quiz question for your user. It not only increases engagement on your landing page, but can also be used in conversation during sales calls based on the user's answer.

1

Create a Seamless Journey for Visitors

Does the landing page title match the content that drove the user to this page? Design, imagery, and copy should match from one page to the next. Deliver on the user's expectation by keeping the journey from their original destination to the landing page seamless. 

2

Use the Power of Illustrative Images and Animations

Generate interest through illustrative images and animations that change on scroll. This not only adds visual oomph to the landing pages, but also helps explain the content in a simplified manner.

4

Make the Purpose Clear

Ever land on a page and feel lost? The purpose of the page or call-to-action was probably hard to find. Put the CTA front and center so the user doesn't struggle with next steps.

3

Insert Personalization to Your Content

Build upon user data such as a user's name, geo-location, and past behavior to dynamically generate personalized content. The more the landing page connects with your customers, the more likely it is to convert.

6

Use Trust Signals

Good landing pages use trust signals to indicate to visitors, that their offer and brand are trustworthy. Examples of trust signals are testimonials, like buttons, showcasing brand logos of past clients, or including badges of recognitions or awards received.

7. Create Content that Can Be Scaled Back for Mobile

Keep your content short and sweet for mobile users so the most important actions are kept above the fold.

8. Strip Out Unnecessary Content or Elements

To keep users focused on progressing, remove any extra icons, spacing, or text.

Interactive content gains twice the engagement than static content. In fact, 62% of B2B marketers are already using it.

Static vs Interactive

What are the distinguishing traits that position interactive Landing Pages as an alternative to static ones? Take a look at some of them:

Static:

  • Depends only on form fields to get conversions
  • Bounce rates are higher due to low engagement
  • Offers the same experience to every user who lands on the page A/B testing will provide only a winner without detailed insights on how people engaged with your landing page
  • Often display formulaic copy and visuals with low personalization
  • Lack of segmentation that compromises conversions from Ads

 

Interactive:

  • Improve lead quality by tracking user preferences beyond forms filled
  • Smaller bounce rates by incentivizing users to participate more directly
  • Increase conversions by showing different versions of the content based on each user’s behavior
  • Capture every interaction in your landing pages to enrich your A/B testing results with more specific insights
  • Reinforce brand authority and awareness via meaningful digital experiences
  • Higher Ad scores with dynamic content optimization to improve message-matching
  • Remove form friction by progressively capturing data using interactive elements
