Value proposition

There is no escaping the fact that every product and service comes down to the same set of three questions. Marketing quickly becomes a losing game if these fundamental questions cannot be answered within a few sentences:

1. What problem are you solving?
2. Who are you solving it for?
3. How are you solving it for them?

Understanding these answers is essential to creating a successful online sales page.

Brand context

Whilst the approach for a high-conversion sales page is always the same, every business is unique so it's important to pause and reflect on the bigger picture before assembling a plan.

Your Brand & Ethos

Things that your customers care about beyond the problem being solved.

Market Conditions

Any atypical obstacles to overcome that are specific to your industry or audience.

Lead Generation

How you attract leads and how well they currently convert.

A successful sales page integrates this context while presenting the value proposition to potential customers, which is why it's the second essential step in creating a successful online sales page.

Presentation

Having established your value proposition and context for your brand, the final step is to represent all of that in an optimised format for online sales pages.

At this point, it's easy to overwhelm potential customers with everything you want them to know. The correct approach here is to keep things clean, simple and intuitive. After all, every unnecessary second of reading time inflicted on your visitors will harm your conversion rate.
