A Helpful Checklist to Generate More Leads for Your Business

We prepared a simple checklist to guide you through some brainstorming to help generate more leads for your business.

Submission Forms.  Nearly 85% of businesses use on-line submission forms.  So you may already be doing that.  But some common mistakes with forms include:

• Too many fields (customers don’t like to jump through hoops)
• Buried forms (customers shouldn’t have to go looking for the form)
• Forms that aren’t mobile-friendly (over 75% of users are often on mobile phones)

Outbound E-Mail.  The average open rate for e-mail is running right at about 21.5%, and it’s holding up over time.  We’re big fans of marketing automation that helps you cover a lot of ground without having to dedicate a lot of human resources to the effort until leads become actionable.

Custom Landing Pages.  Potential customers want to get to the exact information they’re seeking as quickly as possible, and without a lot of friction (clicks, forms, or other extra steps).  So creating product- or service-specific landing pages allows you to send potential customers to the best information fast.  This is particularly helpful if you’re doing Search Engine Marketing (SEM) or conducting digital display advertising campaigns.  For best results, everything should focus on one product or service at a time, and go directly to information on your website about that single topic.
