3 Secrets to High Converting Landing Pages

Jordan Buckner: [00:00:00] eCommerce for CPG brands is really challenging, especially right now. It seems that ad costs are going higher. Consumers have more options, and it's really taking a lot to get them to take out their credit card and actually make a purchase. But there's a lot that you can do to increase your Odds of success on social media and on e commerce to actually move things along.

So what I want to talk today is not just how do you get people to your site using ads, but how do you actually design high converting landing pages with effective offers to get people to buy? So for this conversation, I've invited on Andrew, who's one of the cofounders of AdCrunch they're experts in paid media, digital marketing and have been driving traffic and sales for tons of brands.

And recently have been doing a ton of work in the CPG space. So it's super relevant before we actually just hit record. I was working on a landing page for joyful co. And so this couldn't be more timely. Andrew. Welcome. . 

Andrew DiLullo: Yeah, thank you. No, I mean, I'm excited to talk about this. The main thing we see , [00:01:00] CPG brands struggling with is Not always content, not always ads, but just building that solid foundation, having that landing page that makes people want to buy now not later, right now when they take their dogs out and I want to drop their kids off at school, but getting that direct feedback.

Jordan Buckner: Oh, that's so true. I think distraction is so prevalent right now, right? Like most times people are not looking to buy something. They're coming across you as they're scrolling, looking at a ton of other things. And so how do you stop gain their intention and then keep it long enough? To make them interested in buying.

And I think, you know, we've talked before, but it's really about understanding, you know, how do you grab their attention and what they're looking for and what's going to push them over the edge. And so I know you've developed this three step process as you're thinking about like how to drive e commerce sales.

And so I'd love for you to just give like a quick overview of like what that is. 

Andrew DiLullo: Yeah, so there are three things that we found really drive e com sales when it comes to direct response. One is the offer. So that's why I said, why should they buy now? Not later, not when their, you know, kids get dropped off at school, not when they take their dog out.

[00:02:00] But now, two is the landing page. So, and there's actually three ways to break down the landing page when people hit the page. They're looking at the price, right? Is it in their price range? They want to know if it's for them, right? If it's for the problem that they're trying to solve. And then they also want to know if it will work for them, right?

If it actually will solve their problem, right? That's kind of the guarantee part. Like, we guarantee this will solve your problem. So you want to answer those three questions extremely quickly. In a very effective manner. I see a lot of people have these like, long product descriptions and this and that, it's just like, it's, it's headline, sub headline, bullet points, like, tell them exactly what it is.

Who it's for and how it solves their problem. 

Jordan Buckner: I love that. So that's kind of the offer, the landing page. And then I think the first step chronologically of like getting that as like running as actually in testing messaging to actually get them to the site, right? 

Andrew DiLullo: Yes. Yeah. So, and that's the third piece of scale and you have to have really, really high performing ads, really high performing copy.

Because copy is just a shadow of negotiating right with your client, [00:03:00] right? You're not doing the negotiating over the phone anymore. You're doing it with your website and your ads. And so the copy needs to be on point. Good copy is going to outperform a pretty website 99 percent of the time.

The only reason I say 99 percent is because a beautiful website may outperform copy occasionally. But it is 90 for most of us. The copy, making sure that. The user knows they're on the right landing page, that it's for them, that it's going to fix their problem and that the pricing is, you know, in their range is going to solve most of your problems.

So, 

Jordan Buckner: Andrew, let me tell you, I have spent tens of thousands of dollars, which is pretty low in the e commerce thing. I know the brands have spent millions of dollars kind of running ads and it's been a challenge because most times I found that those ads were not. Effective at driving sales to the level that I wanted to, and part of it I realized was having poorly designed landing pages, probably with like poor conversion and not having all those elements that you mentioned.

And so as you're [00:04:00] thinking about creating compelling offers and telling that story on the landing page, like what are some of the things that most brands are missing that they need to have? 

Andrew DiLullo: Yeah, for sure. Yeah. And then. A quick question for you. Am I able to share my screen and people be able to see that?

Jordan Buckner: Yeah, so you can share your screen so we can walk through things and we can post the video for it. 

Andrew DiLullo: Okay, sweet. Let me share my screen real quick. Because the visual here is going to be really, really helpful. One, we're on mobile right now, so we always look at things on mobile because that's how most people are viewing.

A really, like, I see a lot of websites where there's a ton of cognitive load when they hit the page. So that means, like, the colors are crazy, there's no focus, it needs to be a very simple layout. Because if you have things everywhere, if you have benefits everywhere, your consumer doesn't know what to focus on and how are they going to figure out if it's for them, right?

All of those things increase cognitive load, so And for those working on, on the podcast on audio only, right now you're showing a [00:05:00] mobile screen share of a brand pluck, right? And it is a superfood kind of grass fed seething seasoning blend, right? 

Yeah, exactly. So they're, they're kind of, they're at the intersection of health and seasoning.

So they have basically. The easiest way to put it, vitamins in their seasoning from organs. Like they, they blend up and dry organ meats into seasonings. And so it's like a vitamin and a seasoning, which 

Jordan Buckner: on that surface, like if you just said, Hey, here's some ground up organ meat, like that's probably not really compelling.

So what did you and the, the team from the test to help make this an effective landing page? 

Andrew DiLullo: Yeah, so this, this landing page has, this landing page layout has over 10 million of spend behind it. We've spent a lot of time and money, and that's across a lot of different brands, right? A lot of time and money getting to this point.

So if you want a shortcut to like, what's the best landing page to start out with, this is going to be it. So, I'll break down the landing page and then also provide a a document like a slideshow with the breakdown of the landing page as well. So [00:06:00] anybody can download it, look at it after the call.

But yeah, I'll, I'll break it down audibly and then also for those who are watching this, you'll be able to see the visual too, which I would recommend if you're not watching this, go watch it because the visual is going to help a lot more. So the first thing we have, we have our top performing hook from meta up at the top.

The idea here is the person needs to get hooked into the page. So if they're not like hooked immediately and that's going to be from your words and your photos, right? They're not hooked immediately. They're going to bounce. Most people never even get to your add to cart button if it's lower on the page.

So we have a top performing hook from Meta. 

Jordan Buckner: And for them it's nature's super food. Now a seasoning. 

Andrew DiLullo: Yeah, that was our top performing headline in Meta. And so we put this at the top of the page. And the best way to get this hook, which. I'll go over this fairly quickly, and this is going to be highly tactical, so if you need to slow it down, or come back to this part, like, do that it's worth listening to understand, because once you understand, you'll [00:07:00] actually be able to scale your brand with convincing copy and arguments that will make your consumer feel like your brand is for them, so, you know the way we determine what this first hook is, we will actually, and I'm showing the hook sheet that we use, you guys can get this as well.

We actually run 50 hooks in a meta ad campaign for click through rate. And the reason we do that is because it's much less expensive. So, 50 hooks in a conversion campaign, it costs 5, 000. 100. A hook times 50 hooks is 5, 000, and a click through rate campaign only costs us about 300. And how this looks is, when you actually run the campaign, let me give you a visual too you're going to see a lot of different click through rates.

So. If you're watching this, you can see these are all the same ad, all we've done is change the hook, and we get anywhere, click through rates from 10 percent down to 2%. So to 

Jordan Buckner: break this down quickly, you're creating dozens of ads, all with the same creative To wish with different messaging so you can see which [00:08:00] message is resonating most with all other variables.

The same 

Andrew DiLullo: exactly. That is exactly right. We and the idea here is like if somebody is not even going to click on your ad wall and your messaging, then how are they going to purchase? They're not even going to make it to the site. So that's why we do this first.

And then we push these to a conversion campaign. And you can see all we've done is change the hooks here and we're getting, we just pushed the top 10 so that our top 10 hooks and we're getting anywhere from a 4. 6x return down to a 2. 2x return. So this is how powerful just a copy is. It could double your returns just a copy.

And so this is a very important point like you have to find how to speak to your customers Because like, that's, what's going to sell the product, right? 

Jordan Buckner: And that's actually really cool because I think the number one mistake most brands make is they create language from the brand perspective, right?

Like, how do we want to talk about the product? How do we want to sell the product? Instead of thinking about it from the customer standpoint, which is what's going to grab [00:09:00] their attention, what are they looking for? And how does our product fill a need in their lives? Not how does like the customer help our brand, but how does our brand help the customer?

Andrew DiLullo: Exactly. Yeah, and this is actually much easier to do than what you're thinking like, Oh my gosh, I gotta write 50 hooks. How do I come up with this? Here's the cheat code. Go to TikTok, and let's just say you're selling caviar. So let's go to, let's just search caviar, right? Well, you have all these people who have already created this, like, content.

And so, here, like, I think this is a great hook. An unpretentious guide to buying caviar. Right? That's it. That's an easy hook, right? We can put that in the hook sheet. Pete, you know, I think Viral caviar chicken nuggets. If you have a unique way that you're using your product, just put the word viral in front of it.

That's a hook. And we can even Costco caviar. I love that. I love that.

Yeah, exactly. And so we can also come here and look in the comments. This is really impactful too. I'll get the caviar and then go to McDonald's. Like you could, [00:10:00] you could even say something about that in a hook. Like You know, like POV, you buy 300 caviar and put it on chicken nuggets, right? that's a hook.

That's like that. We always want to start at like the climax with the hook. So the most interesting, like, just really think about like you were mining attention. Right. And so thing about movies, a good movie that really hooks you in kind of starts at the climax. Like. You can think about like Fight Club, the loop isn't closed, you're trying to figure out what's going on, right, the entire movie, you're really trying to understand what's going on and why this person is, you know, putting 300 caviar on, you know, 5 chicken nuggets, right?

And so, this is a really great way to find the hooks, you don't have to be creative, you don't have to be a genius, you just can look on TikTok and see what people are already saying about, Your product and look at what your competitors are saying about your product that has a lot of engagement as well, because your competitors probably have some really good hooks.

Jordan Buckner: I think one thing I learned is right. Test a lot. It's not about creating the perfect like 3 hooks and only testing. And I was like, you want to test dozens, if [00:11:00] not 100 of them, because most of them, right? Like, out of the hooks that you test, if you test 100, how many of them are going to be good? 

Andrew DiLullo: Exactly.

Yeah. And we're like, it's the 80, 20 rule here. If you test a hundred hooks. You'll probably only have 10 to 20 convert. Like just, that's just the name of the game. You have to do it to find that messaging. And it's going to give you a really good idea of what your consumers actually want from you, not what you think your consumers want.

Jordan Buckner: I love it. Okay. So then how do you translate this onto the landing page? Let's say you get some messaging ideas. You see what's performing. What do you do next? 

Andrew DiLullo: Yeah. So we'll take, after we run that conversion campaign, we'll take like the top three or four. And here's the great thing about, well, we're about to get into landing page, but if you notice, moms are really buying your product.

That's its own file. That's its own landing page. That's its own set of hooks. That's 50 hooks for moms, right? If you notice that, like, people who want to lose weight are buying your product, right? That's its own landing page, right? Or again, we need to make sure the person knows it's for them, that it'll solve their problem, and they need to know the price, [00:12:00] right?

Those are the three things we have in mind when we're creating landing pages. And so we're always wanting to solve those. So if you, if you're sending a mom to a landing page that has something about how it'll help them lose weight, you have a mismatch there, right? So you want to make sure that, You're one to one.

Jordan Buckner: I love it. I mean, it reminds me of how there's a huge movement and talking about like the Internet will allow you to do personalization and I think the gold standard would be sending you to a page that says, Andrew, you would like this product based on everything. You know, for right, like you, we can't quite do like individual targeting.

But what's the next best thing? Like, what are those common attributes are leading people to buy? What are those audiences and customer segments and what are they looking for? We're both like. In persona and the messaging, which I think you're right, and then creating a specific like multiple different landing pages for those groups.

Andrew DiLullo: Exactly. Yeah. And this is our best general hook. So we have this, we'll want to put our best general hooks on our organic page. And then we'll want to create many of these, I would call them ancillary or supporting [00:13:00] funnels for specific audiences. So nature's superfood now, seasoning can easily turn into, you don't have to do that much work once the landing page is built.

Seasoning, like vitamin seasoning for moms with, you know, picky eaters, right? Or for kids who aren't getting enough nutrition, right? those are their own funnels and their own hooks that are going to go with their own ads for a specific audience. And so I know a lot of people talk about ICPs and how to talk to them.

This is the. Exact specific way that you can figure out how to talk to them and then make those pages. And it's not a crazy amount of work. It's just doing the work. 

Jordan Buckner: Perfect. So breakdown what's on the rest of the page. We talked about the headline, the sub headline. 

Andrew DiLullo: Yeah. The headline sub headline.

Then we always have reviews right here. This is really important. We just want to have social proof right out of the gate. So it's going to be headline sub headline. Usually the sub headline has some context about the product. So this one we found people really cared that the cows were from New Zealand.

So we have that here. So for y'all who are listening, it says Oregon meat from New Zealand, grass from New Zealand, grass fed cows blended with organic herbs and spices. This is our [00:14:00] general. Like sub headline, right? So for moms, it could be like for moms with picky eaters who can't get enough nutrition in their kid's diet.

That's the sub headline there. And then we go right into reviews. 

Jordan Buckner: 5 star rating, it says 4. 9 out of 5. C388 reviews with a link to kind of read those reviews and then a nice clear image of the front of the pack. 

Andrew DiLullo: Yeah, exactly. And you don't like, comment to, and this is actually where I think y'all would also get a lot of value, like, the headline doesn't need to be your product name.

They're gonna probably see your product name in the hero photo, right? It's right there. They're going to see, like, it says the seasoning, it's like the original, right? It says the seasoning name in the hero photo, and then they'll be able to pick their flavors down here. So well, we need to show them exactly what the product is, but we don't need to say it because we're just making sure that they know this product is for them initially.

So and then, yeah, below the product photo and we have the price and then we always anchor, I guarantee. [00:15:00] 95 percent of y'all who are listening are pricing too low. You're probably priced at market value, but what we're trying to do here is not get them to compare you to everybody else, but to start comparing your bundles and your build, you know, your built bundles to single products, right?

So, the, at first this brand started out with an 18 AOV, now their AOV is at 70. is a completely different business because people are buying two or they're buying four at a time. So we went from selling one at 18 to selling one at 39, selling two for 74 and four for 88 dollars. And so they save 43 percent.

When they buy four, but we're technically making more money by them buying four now than we were before, but it's all about anchoring that initial, like one product at a higher price so they can start to compare like your pricing on your page, not you and your competitors. 

Jordan Buckner: Yeah, right. Cause then looking at that, it's saying basically you can get four flavors for [00:16:00] almost the price of two.

And then people are like, Oh, well, that's a good deal versus saying, okay, let me compare this to a random seasoning blend on Amazon or something else, or even your own product pricing on or other channels. It's you're making that reference point self contained in the landing page. 

Andrew DiLullo: And if you're offering is linear and it makes sense, we all like things that make sense, but if your offer makes sense, it's not a good offer.

And that sounds crazy, but like, people don't want a good product at a good price, they want to feel like they got a good product at a good price. So the feeling is what we're changing. Because I look at this and I say, oh, I can get two more for 14, that's 7 each. Like, I'm gonna do that. like, I'd rather get more than less if I'm only paying 7 more per product, so.

We're actually selling them at 23. Each, yeah. 23, well, $22 each when we were initially selling them at 18. 

Jordan Buckner: I love that. And then you also have, I think, that offer, right, where it's, there's a yellow box right above the price and it says, get four shakers for [00:17:00] $89 and has a countdown. 

Andrew DiLullo: Yes. Okay. And then, so the countdown, a lot of people don't like the countdown.

We find that this creates anxiety. So it's good for direct response, less good for organic. So I just wanna caveat this here is like the timer is not gonna. Make or break the offer. It helps when you're running ads to the offer, but the real magic is in the build your own bundle. It's buy more, save more, and you let the user pick what they want.

So if you think about it, like if you come up with a bundle for the person let's say only 50 percent of your users want that bundle, right? Well, if we let them build their own and they can buy more and save more. Then that's relevant to everybody, right? So you don't have to worry about creating these perfect bundles.

I know the initial strategy was like, make one with your best sellers. And it's like, that's great. But isn't it better if they can actually pick their own like bundle? So 

Jordan Buckner: I love that. And so then right below that, you pick your bundle, you pick your products. And I like this, right? Because the drop down for these, there's three or four options or options to choose from.

So it's not decision fatigue. [00:18:00] And then you add to cart directly from there, right? 

Andrew DiLullo: Exactly. Yeah, you add to cart from here. And another thing is, you might say, This doesn't work for my brand. My brand doesn't do that. Well, like, you can still upsell in this area. So, like, we have a client that sells e bikes, right?

And the cheapest one's like 800. Well, on the cheapest e bike page we're actually putting our more expensive bikes on there. Like, need longer battery, right? Need longer range? Buy this bike. Need this? Buy this bike, right? And so, we're like, are you buying for a kid, right? Then buy this bike. Same thing with clothing.

Build your own outfit, right? So, pick a hat, pick a shirt, pick pants and save. This is going to, a lot of times, the minimum usually we see is a 1. 5x increase in AOV. Up to like a two or a three X, right. And in Plex case, this was all, this was a three and a half X, which was huge. 

Jordan Buckner: I love that when you're selling more expensive items, are you like discounting those more expensive items or you're just highlighting the benefits?

Andrew DiLullo: Yeah. So the more expensive ones, like if it's their most expensive item, we may just have that. Page by itself, [00:19:00] right? It may, there may not be a bundle on that, especially when you get in the thousand dollar range, but yeah, let's just say you sell something at 1500, a thousand and 700 well on the 700 page, show them that they can get more of a bike for less money or double your range for 200 more dollars, right?

Things like that are really powerful on these higher AOV products. And then even same thing with clothing, like, build your own pack of shirts, right? Build your own pack of sweats, right? or build your own outfit. Those are use cases for, like, it's easy if you're selling a couple of products and it's buy more, save more.

But once you get into like, oh, my products aren't super related or, you know, they're this or that and they're not 100 percent related. We see, like, at least adding these. They're not even bundles at that point. They're more like upsells, but just adding, like letting people, like, let people know that they can spend more money with you and get more like that's hem of the idea here.

Jordan Buckner: I love it. All right. What's the next section? 

Andrew DiLullo: Yeah. So we have then we go straight to add to cart. So the reason we do this first, a little bit of information and straight to add to cart [00:20:00] is you have two people who are hitting your sites. You have your diggers and your skimmers. Your skimmers are more ready to buy, right?

But we also want to create a site that appeals to our diggers. And so we'll have hidden content on here. These are just hyperlinks, so like, we know a lot of people want to know the flavors and ingredients, right? So we have this pop up come out, right? If you have a huge description, just shorten it and have it as a see more, or have it come up as a pop up.

Like, want to learn more? Pop up, right? That's really helpful if you have, I've seen let me see. Like, but basically like I just did an audit for a brand that yeah, it was selling easy bikes. And they just had, they had like 18 trust badges right here and I couldn't tell what to focus on.

So I was like put this into a hyperlink and just say like, want to see what comes with the bike crush, see what comes with the bike question mark. Right. And then they, your diggers can click on that and they can see like. Hey, okay, it comes with, like, this style of battery, it's made with this kind of aluminum, it's made to go this far, right?

 All that information is great, but it should be consolidated [00:21:00] into either, like, a pop up that the user can click on to learn more or it could be truncated Are shortened into a description that you can say, Hey, want to learn more, read more, right? That way it's not taking up all because you like your first like five seconds of scrolling or three seconds of scrolling is Precious real estate.

Most people are bouncing by the time they hit the add to cart button. You need to explain what you do very quickly and grab their attention very quickly. Awesome 

Jordan Buckner: Awesome. What's next on the page below the add to cart? 

Andrew DiLullo: Yeah. And then, so now we have some benefits. So this, this is kind of a new product in a new space.

So people need to learn more about it before making that buying decision. And this comes into what we were talking earlier about earlier, Jordan, on the Caviar brand, we have more social proof because this is things that people use at parties, right? So it depends on the brand, but if you're like, Oh, I'm Caviar, or I'm like, Or I'm clothing, right?

Clothing, you may want to have social proof and lifestyle, not more about the product and its attributes, right? If it's a technical product, we're looking to provide more [00:22:00] information because people are probably wanting to understand what the product is and what it does more. And then with things like clothing or caviar, for instance, we're looking to add more social proof so people can see it in action.

They can see what they can do with it, etc. 

Jordan Buckner: Are you finding to that like zero caviar or people watching those and the social proof? There's videos almost like TikTok style videos of people using the product or people like watching individual videos. You think just like having that proof showing helps.

Andrew DiLullo: Yeah, having the proof showing helps. I don't think we have the data or we don't have the data on end of like, if they're watching individual videos, but I think seeing it used in a situation. Or I know that seeing it used in a situation that that person is likely to experience or has experienced in the past is very valuable because now, like, people it's very hard for them to be creative.

So you need to show, it's show, don't tell, right? Show them how they can use the product, show them recipes, right? And I think also with the electric bike. Something that I recommended was a [00:23:00] quiz, because when I got on their website, there were all these bikes, there were like 10 different bikes, and I was like, I have no idea, one, I don't even know why I'm here, I don't know what I'm looking at, and I need to figure out what I'm using it for, so my quiz for them was like, first, who is this for, is it for you or a child, right, because we need to know that right away, then how are you using the bike, are you using it to get around town, are you using it to Right in your neighborhood.

Are you using it to off road because those are different buyers and so they need different pain point They have different pin points to get them to bot And then so that would be my second question And then my third question would be like how long do you need to go for right like what like how big of a battery?

Do you need what kind like all these other ancillary things and then you can recommend a product and that's gonna build trust Because there's a the more time people spend on your site the more familiar you are the more they trust you Right, so that's really important. So getting them to do, to take a quiz at the front of the funnel can really help them.

Can really help you build trust with them and make them feel much [00:24:00] more familiar with their brand and they would have otherwise and make them feel like your products are more for them. 

Jordan Buckner: Awesome. So like in the pluck landing page example is using organ meat from grass fed cows plus organic herbs and spices.

So that's reiterating that sub headline and then has check boxes for some of the key attributes like 100 percent grass fed, kid friendly, keto, paleo, gluten free, no sugar, no fillers, third party tested. Exactly. 

Andrew DiLullo: Yeah. And then we go into an FAQ. This is also really important, like, just, if you have people asking, like, your customer support agents, like, the same thing 80 times a day, which happens a lot put it in an FAQ, just, basically, like, benefits, and then straight to FAQ, right, so they can learn more about the product and answer questions that, like, does it taste like organs?

This is a big one for him. Pluck gives you the nutrients from organ meats without the strong organ meat taste. And it does, it's like, it tastes delicious. Tastes like a regular seasoning. and do kids like it? This is a question we get a lot. It's absolutely. And it's just cause it doesn't taste like organs.

So and then, yeah, we can keep going down. So [00:25:00] this is just in social proof for them are ways that people have used it. This is a little bit about the owner and then this is really important. This is what we call versus content. Let them compare on your site. So compare your item to. Your other items if you have better items, right?

 Why is me buying this hundred 100 seasoning better than a 50 seasoning you could you know, it's got twice the nutrients It's got this it's processed differently. We use grass fed in the nice grass fed cows in a nicer one, right? So let them know why you're more expensive product is better than your less expensive product And then also an iteration of this is you versus your competitors Right.

So that's going to really help them make a buying decision. So here we have his product versus just regular seasonings. Cause that's what most people are using. They're not using seasonings with vitamins in it. Right. And so we're just talking about how little salt this has and how much other vitamins you actually get from the seasoning.

And then the rest of the page is pretty straightforward. This, you can kind of add social proof with, or just more benefits. And then go to reviews and then same thing [00:26:00] here, like for them, we just, we have some scrolling benefits and then we talk about how it's like used by Michelin star restaurants.

A lot of this. 

Jordan Buckner: And this is back on the caviar page now is talking about the caviar for Michelin star chefs. 

Andrew DiLullo: Yeah. A lot of people who are buying caviar care about the prestige of it. They want to know that other people are using it. They want to know that it's going to make them popular, right?

And so this is where, like, for a brand like this, the social proof is really important. So you could just layer on that social proof and then it kind of goes to, and then it, art. com, it goes to reviews, right? And so same thing here. And then I have another iteration. So this one, they've actually blocked it from going on mobile, but I really like the way that they have these drop down.

We didn't make this page. It's just another brand. 

Jordan Buckner: So it's a different, like, it's the remineralizing gum company now. 

Andrew DiLullo: Yeah, it's gum for people who drink coffee to, like, get the stains off of your teeth, basically. Yeah, it's supposed to strengthen teeth enamel, brighten and whiten teeth, and of course give you fresh breath.

But something I like that they [00:27:00] did. Is you get like all these bonuses here, and we're going to start rolling this out as well. 

Jordan Buckner: So their offers then are buy one, get one free, buy two, get two free, buy three, get three free, buy four, get four free. And so it's an escalating, it's still like saving 50%, right?

Basically, but you're getting more free and you're buying a higher volume at a time. 

Andrew DiLullo: Yeah, exactly. And on there, buy four, get four free. They have, you also get five free gifts. You get Warranty, like they guarantee that it's gonna work. Gum packs, an e book, a mystery gift, and free shipping. So they're actually just adding this to the offer when you buy the big offer down here.

So you could add it in the space, if you're looking at this, next to the build your own bundle, you could say like, plus free shipping. Plus free ebook on how to get your kids eating, you know, things that are actually good for them. Plus free mystery gift and plot, right? So you can add these things onto the page here.

Jordan Buckner: I love it. So this is all like super. Great from like both the strategy and the [00:28:00] tactical standpoint. So if you're just listening to this, all really great content, check out the video as well, so that you can see a lot of these landing pages in action, sharing with your team we're also going to include the hook sheet download in the show notes, so make sure you grab that.

So you can start testing out messaging for your brand, Andrew, any last thoughts in terms of like testing your landing pages can do for your brand and why this is so important. 

Andrew DiLullo: Yeah. So there's a, the Pareto distribution, which is basically the 80 20 rule applies to your brand. So if your AOV increases by one, you know, a hundred percent, which is a lot you're going to be able to scale five times as much.

That's a completely different business. Imagine the people you can hire. The ads, you can now, like you're now going to be more favored in auctions on Meta and Google because they're looking at time on site, conversion rate, and then they're making a match based on that. And so if you can increase your AOV or LTB by 50 to 100%, that's a 5x for your business, right?

Pluck 30, [00:29:00] 000 to Literally over Black Friday, making over 200 K, right? It was not even close to their business looked like last year. And so these are by having something like this, these are huge gains. They're not linear. They're exponential because you're able to hire more people, spend more on ads.

And then just generally have a better margin for your business because most econ businesses you're operating off of the 10, 20, maybe if you're lucky a 30 percent margin. And so imagine what your business could be if it was off operating off of a 50 percent margin, right? 

Jordan Buckner: And with plug, they were even able to raise their product price, increasing their margin and raise their AOV and get a better perceived value to customers.

And so, right? Like there's winning across the board here. And I think, you know, if you're listing, you're like. I try ads seem like they're not working for me is usually not the ads is the landing pages to start in the offer. And so start their test and iterate. And then slowly, once you find whether the [00:30:00] winners start driving traffic to that page, see if it scales and continue the test.

Right? Because even if you find something that's working better, there's probably still more gains to be had. 

Andrew DiLullo: Exactly. Yeah. And then, If you don't know where to start with offers, buy more, save more. This is proven, especially if you only have a couple of products. This was gonna work, or build your own bundle, basically.

And then I have an entire offer worksheet that I can put, too, that y'all can download. This is everything we've seen work. We don't recommend a percent off. We'd recommend, you know, mystery gifts are great. Giving them a gift card with their purchase is great. That incentivizes them to come back to your site and purchase again.

So, you could bundle in a 20 e gift card, which is a coupon code. Let's be honest. Yeah. Delivered via email to come back for their next purchase. You know, I like this one for Black Friday, Cyber Monday. First to site. You could. Advertise like the first, let's just say 10 people to your site get 50 percent off, the next 10 get 30 and everybody else gets 20.

That's just going to drive tons of traffic on very high traffic days. 

Jordan Buckner: And [00:31:00] it's taken like the mentality where like, you know, stores used to do like the first person gets a free TV and then like, there's only one and there's thousands of people lined up. 

Andrew DiLullo: Exactly. These strategies are already out there.

It's just like consolidating them back into e commerce. Best Buy did it with their door busters, right? Like, do a door buster on Black Friday. And then subscribe and say, for any of y'all that have subscription based businesses, this is really powerful. Give them a larger discount as time goes on, because they'll be locked in at a lower rate and then they have more loss when they leave.

So like if you start out, like maybe the first month to try it as like seven bucks. And then the second month is like 10 percent off that These are arbitrary numbers. So. Make them fit in your business. But third month is 20 percent off. Fourth month is 35 percent off, right? That works with your margins.

Do that because those people who have used you more than four months now, they're locked in at that price. If they leave, they can't come back at it. And. They've already probably made your product into a habit of theirs. So they're [00:32:00] likely going to stay longer once they get to four months. So 

Jordan Buckner: I love that.
