Hey, this is Jeff Wenberg from LeadPages. We're very fortunate here at LeadPages to
have a lot of different split testing data shared with us by our users. Now we don't
like to name drop, but a lot of the top marketers across a number of industries have chosen
to use LeadPages, and we're privy to a lot of really amazing data which shows us what's
working right now. At their request, we can then roll that info back into the templates
a lot of times without you even knowing about it. This helps to keep LeadPages as effective
as possible.
Today's split test has been donated by James Shramko, and James Shramko is one of our favorite
LeadPages customers, and has told more people about LeadPages as anyone we could think of
so a huge shout out to James. If you haven't been to James' website, please click on the
link below to go check him out, and also, James is doing a live event called Fast Web
Formula 4 Live, which is happening in Sydney, Australia. Our co-founder Clay Collins is
going to be speaking at the event, and if you hit him up at the bar after watching this
video, he'll personally buy you a beer, so I definitely encourage you to check out Fast
Web Formula 4 Live, which is linked below this video, and also James' website, which
is linked below this video as well.
James recently sent us his split test data, and we're going to break down this data so
you'll know what it means and why it's important. So this data shows a split test between these
two pages. Both of these were created in LeadPages, and this is the control or his previous best,
and this is the page that was tested against. What James was testing was whether conversions
would go up if the page were customized to look like his blog versus the out-of-the-box
template in LeadPages. Now this is something that's very important to test out. You can
see that James matched the background to his blog with the same type of color. The colors
of the headline box go with it, and the red get this training box also goes with the site.
A rule of thumb for conversions is things work incredibly well if they either extremely
blend in or extremely stick out. In most cases, our templates out-of-the-box will be people's
customizations, but sometimes, people's customizations can make a big difference in this case.
When James made his opt-in box blend in with the rest of his blog, he got a 55% relative
increase in conversion rate just by doing that. You can check out the winning design
by clicking on the link below this video, and you can take a look at how James designed
the landing page to match his blog. This is a statistically significant number and I would
definitely encourage you to try a similar test. For LeadPages customers here's how to
customize this template so you can try a similar split test on your own. For an example, I'm
going to say that I'm creating an opt-in page for Coca-Cola's new marketing campaign they're
doing. I'll use this page as the page I'm trying to match. I'll start with the background
image and select one that matches it close as I can. Now we'll select all the different
colors to match those as close as we can. If you have a branding document that list
a standard colors of your brand, you can just cut and paste the codes into the boxes or
you can use the sliders to find the closest color. Then you'll need to find the closest
font, then you can integrate with your auto responder service, enter in your text for
your headline, for your subhead, the description, email field, and button text, and when you're
done, you click on save page. You'll name it, then with a few clicks, you'll be able
to deploy this page using our servers, WordPress, Facebook as a Facebook tab, or you can download
it and put it on your own servers.
Again, we'd like to thank James Shramko for sharing this data with us. Please do check
out this information below this video. My name is Jeff Wenberg, and I hope you found
this information useful. I'd like to thank everyone out there that's watching this video.
Take care.
