A high converting Squeeze page is a very important element to add to your lead generation strategy, especially if you are trying to build an email list or convince your website/blog visitors to subscribe to your email list.

What Is A Squeeze Page

A squeeze page can simply be defined as a landing page, designed with the objective of obtaining email addresses from your website/blog visitors and converting them to subscribers. The primary goal of creating a squeeze page is to persuade and get your website visitors into providing you their email addresses, one of the most prized pieces of personal data you can get from anyone.

The goal of getting your visitors can be achieved by offering them something of value in return for providing their email addresses. It can be an ebook, free downloads, or offering them free trials. These free offers are usually accompanied by convincing reasons why the visitor should accept the offer and sign up for your email list.

What Makes A Squeeze Page Converts

When creating a squeeze page, you should be careful of the type of contents you put up on your squeeze page. While you have the freedom of putting up any type of content you deem necessary, some like Ebooks, Email Courses & Graphics design templates are known to have higher conversion rates. We will touch more on this subject in the latter part of this article.

Furthermore, if you request for a user’s email address in exchange for watching your latest YouTube channel video or to download a file, this can arouse suspicion in most people. However, if you intend sending them a copy of an ebook, then asking for their email address to do so is justified. You just need to ensure that your reason for asking for a visitor’s email address is related to the offer on your squeeze page. This helps to increase the conversion rate.

Squeeze Page Design Tips

Before designing a squeeze page, you need to be aware of certain important factors. For instance, the opt-in form is not the most important part of the page. It is only a part of it, something which every potential subscriber needs to complete before you can help them. Your offer remains the most important part of your squeeze page. Let’s check out some key squeeze page design tips below;

State Your Reason For Needing the Contact Details

When creating a squeeze page, you need to ensure there is a valid reason for needing the contact details of a prospect. You shouldn’t ask for an email address so you could contact them, it should be because you need it to deliver an offer. The first name isn’t necessary, it is optional and most autoresponders provide options for choosing important and optional details. The email address is the only important piece of information you require, that’s all you need to contact them.

Never Provide Everything, Make Them Curious

Another important squeeze page design tip is to always leave some questions unanswered. For instance, let’s say you provide a 5 part course on how to make money from affiliate marketing, you can break down your explanation in 5 different emails from how to sign up as an affiliate marketer to how to promote your offers. Then in the final email of the series, reveal to them the best practices on affiliate marketing and how to promote high converting offers.

Be Creative With Your Opt-In Form Button Design

When designing the opt-in buttons on your squeeze page, the beauty and styling of the button are irrelevant. What matters most is the “wording“, it needs to be persuasive and convincing enough with some creativity as well. For instance, check out these sample wordings below, which of them would you be more likely to click on?

Send Me My Free Course Now or Submit

Proceed Or Great-Sign Me Up

I’m In Or Grant Me Access Now

All of these wordings are likely going to give you a higher CTR (click-through-rate). Just ensure you add some creativity when designing your opt-in form button and it will increase your chances of getting positive responses.

Make Use Of Splash Pages

A splash page is simply a type of page that comes up before the homepage when a visitor visits your website. Splash pages can be used in several ways such as to offer links to different areas of the website or to act as a portal to the main site.

However. it can also be used as a squeeze page or it can contain a link to your squeeze page with every detail of your offer together with the opt-in form. It should also contain a visible button with wordings like “Not Interested In This Offer-Take Me To The Main Site”

Practically, the splash page is the first page which a visitor visiting your website will see. Before selecting from the option of accepting your free offer to subscribe to your list or turning it down and proceed to your main site.

Make no mistake about this,  although splash pages can be very effective not everyone loves them. However, compared to other squeeze page examples like pop-up which most people prefer using, splash pages are better off. They are not so interfering and don’t just pop up ‘right-in-your-face’, and they cannot be blocked with a pop-up blocker.
