Our numero uno this week is a collection of amazing lead generation examples. No, these are not something you can read on every second marketing blog, neither hear in a podcast. 10 fresh, creative ideas, successfully implemented, with a step-by-step explanation provided by their creators.
FYI, the list includes Larry Kim, CEO of MobileMonkey, and content marketer/keynote speaker Andrew Davis. To be brief: these ideas alone delivered their authors 31 million views on youtube, 100 000 leads and 3 000 new blog subscribers. Indeed, that’s something worthy to check.
And the reason for that is inconsistency in UX design of product pages. Briefly, the large-scale UX research, conducted by Baymard Institute showed that 28% of major e-commerce websites have issues synchronizing content between different product variations. Which of course creates incorrect experience and misleads customers.
To help you avoid a situation like that, Baymard Institute provides extensive information on interlinking product variations, replicating “core content” across all variations of the product, labeling variation-specific content, etc. Real-life examples and customer feedbacks provided.
And we mean that. Product photography is crucial for any e-commerce brand. That’s the very face of your business, which can make or break the deal.
22% of the returns are made because product photo on a website and product arrived do not look the same.
