Designing Landing Pages That Work
http://sixrevisions.com/ |StumbleBookmark
Having knowledge on how to create an effective landing page can increase the number of site visitors that take the desired action of the web page. Lets discuss factors and considerations that can lead to a better landing page design.
What is a Landing Page?
Before we begin our discussion, it’s worth quickly defining what a landing page is.
- From a web development/technical standpoint: A landing page consists of the same basic elements as any other web page (HTML, CSS, content copy, images, videos, etc.)
- From a business standpoint: It’s a web page that asks users to perform a specific task such as purchasing something or subscribing to an email mailing list.
- From a user standpoint: It’s a page they see after clicking on a hyperlink on another site (Google searches, a URL contained in a tweet, banner ad, etc).
Three popular reasons for creating a landing page are:
- Get people to sign up (whether it’s for an account, a newsletter, etc.)
- Sell a specific product in a specific situation (like a sale or a promotion)
- Get people to download and install software

10 pequeños locales de donde surgieron grandes emporios empresariales | ***POST DESTACADO***
http://www.yorokobu.es| Historia de DANIEL CIVANTOS0
¿Sabías que la coreana Samsung comenzó su singladura empresarial vendiendo pescado y verduras en un pequeño local de un mercado de Corea? ¿O que Virgin Records vendía discos piratas y nació de una tienda más pequeña que la cabina de uno de los aviones de Richard Branson? Sí, corporaciones que hoy consideramos gigantes financieros nacen, como nacen todas las cosas, de algo muy pequeño, casi diminuto. Y muchas con un sentido fundacional distinto al que hoy las alumbra. Este es el gérmen gráfico de los primeros “cuarteles generales” de marcas que hoy no dudan en erigir auténticas ciudades para sus miles de empleados. Sigue leyendo
Why “Generation Why Bother” Doesn’t Care
by Sarah Green | http://blogs.hbr.org/hbr
I’ve been stewing all week about a logically sloppy op-ed in Sunday’s New York Times. Every Sunday morning, I leap out of bed and skipper down the stairs to snatch the paper off the stoop, but last week it betrayed me. Todd and Victoria Buchholz’s “The Go-Nowhere Generation” takes a disparate set of data-points and tries to make the case with them that young Americans aren’t “occupying” anything but their parents’ couches and are bringing economic ruination on themselves by being risk-averse Debbie Downers.
For instance, in one particularly odd leap of logic, they cite a decline in drivers’ licenses as a cause of concern, and then link that decline to increased Internet use. “That may mean safer roads,” they quip, “But it also means a bumpier, less vibrant economy.” Really? Would the economy be more vibrant if Mark Zuckerberg spent his time in college driving around delivering pizza instead of sitting in his room inventing Facebook? And do we really want to lament that a younger generation is finding fewer reasons to fire up the ol’ internal combustion engine, fewer excuses to pump more carbon into the atmosphere? Sigue leyendo
Time to Redefine “Innovation”
By Doreen Lorenzo -http://designmind.frogdesign.com
Despite the many case studies and op-eds you might read on the importance of “innovation” as a strategy, in real life many businesses are struggling to be innovative. It doesn’t mean that they can’t come up with enough new ideas or that they don’t have creative people on staff. Instead, executives might find that they cannot implement innovation within their company’s structure, or that they get bogged down by distractions that only seem to be taking them on the path to inventions that are timely–and potentially profitable.
In addition, many of the barriers to corporate innovation are forces that are much bigger than internal ones. These hurdles range from the economic challenges in Europe; entire industries dying or at least experiencing troubling states of transition (print and television media, for example, or investment banking); and the shifts in global financial power that are taking place (the rise of China and India, among other “emerging” markets).

There is no shortage of business ideas, but so few get off the ground. What separates the long-lasting endeavors from those that have a quick expiration date? BusinessNewsDaily spoke to some experts to get a read on the factors that are common in business ideas that take off.
1. It is innovative or offers a twist on an existing product or service. Opening the next pizza joint in a strip mall that already has two pizza parlors is not a formula for success, unless you plan to offer something the others have missed.
“Being new or first is not enough,” said Jose Palomino, founder and CEO of Value Prop Interactive, a consulting firm, and an adjunct professor of marketing at Villanova University. “The iPod wasn’t the first MP3 player, but it defined the category. Being innovative or new doesn’t work if your product doesn’t matter to anyone.”
It doesn’t always pay to be first to market with a product, experts say. “It is not necessarily the person who gets their idea to market first that wins,” said Karen Russo, president of IIPE, an international candidate and name generation firm, and K. Russo Consulting, an executive search and human resources consulting firm. Think BlackBerry being eclipsed by other smartphones that followed. “Sometimes, it is better to sit back and learn from others before jumping in,” she said. Sigue leyendo
