Landing page optimization tips that can work for both B2B and B2C publishers

Would a name-squeeze page work as well if it went by any other name? Yes it would, and that’s why we call it a Rapid Conversion Landing Page, or RCLP for short. Some people call it an email capture page as well. All jargon aside, the point of this page is to collect an email address by offering away a free product.

The more value these landing page create—and deliver—the more effective they are at growing the database. A Rapid Conversion Landing Page can be long or relatively short. It can tell an entertaining story, as does the RCLP for the Program on Negotiation at Harvard Law (link below).

Or it can be very direct, with a simple, seductive offer, such as the RCLP for Knitting Daily (link below) that offers six free downloadable sock patterns.

The RCLP strategy works equally well for B2B and B2C websites, and for large publications as well as small publications. That’s because of the power of the word “free” and the value of reliable information in a report with an irresistible title.
