Landing Page Optimization Assignment with Wishpond

Background

You just got hired by Kent’s Camera Castle to help with their online marketing efforts.

One of the first projects you are tasked with is taking over an existing landing page selling the GoPro Hero 4. It is performing poorly and now you get to look things over and apply your magic to optimize the page for better performance using the principles learned in Chapter 2 of the Digital Marketing Essentials Textbook, 7 Principles of Conversion Centered Design Expert Session, and the Mimic Simulation.

A screenshot of the existing landing page is below:

The landing page is a single product landing page selling the GoPro Hero 4.

Kent’s Camera Castle has a paid search manager named Brenda that manages pay per click and display advertising campaigns. Brenda created this display ad below that will be used in sending paid traffic to your new landing page once completed.

Your Job

Within the last 30 days, the landing page in its current state gets 100 unique visits a day and sells on average of .5 cameras a day.

Your boss wants you to increase the average daily sales to 5 GoPro Hero 4’s a day.

As you look over the landing page, pay attention to the different elements, their positioning, wording, colors, wow factors, etc.

There’s no need to stress, you aren’t expected to know or use any html code. Wishpond’s platform comes with an easy drag and drop design editor tool. You’ll be able to easily drop, remove, rearrange any elements you’d like. Want to change the text? Simply click and edit.
