Landing Page Optimization-A quick start guide

Posted by kayla ehrie

First, if your companies call-to-actions are not remarkable, no one will make it to the landing page. Every marketing firm should understand their homepage is not a landing page. A landing page is a form that can’t be navigated away from. Good landing pages are a valuable asset to your business and produce eligible leads. They keep potential leads reading, engaged and on your site. Remember, a landing page should be deciphered in 5 to 6 seconds. If a person or company does not understand the value of the offer in that time, it may not be a functional landing page. So how should you create a perfect landing page?

The Value of Novelty

Posted by tim hogan

I came across this ZOLTAR machine in Nashville. I found myself wondering why one dollar seemed like a perfectly reasonable price to pay (because it totally was) for an unreliable fortune delivered by a mechanical puppet from a Tom Hanks movie. Novelty right? Sure, it only does the one thing. But it does it with such style. Still, novelty has a short shelf life. So  ZOLTAR thrives here in this high-traffic town, refilled with fresh faces on a daily basis.

Just so long as its ZOLTAR…i really like him.
