Ask Audrey - #49: How an Interactive Landing Page Can Transform Your Static Content Offering

This is Ask Audrey, a digital marketing podcast from ion interactive. ion's Director of Customer Engagement, Audrey Ross, is a wealth of practical hands-on knowledge when it comes to building an interactive capability in your marketing organization. If you’ve been reading along with us for the month of November, I’m sure you’ve seen a reoccurring topic lately: interactive landing pages. Landing pages are beginning to evolve along with the rise of interactive content, which means that your audience is no longer impressed with a static page and simple form to get them to convert. But that doesn’t always mean that what’s behind the form has to be interactive as well. We all have our signature assets — those PDFs that you know are extremely valuable just the way they are. And while we are all for you transforming those PDFs into interactive experiences, it is perfectly fine to have static content behind your form. So how can your landing page entice visitors to provide their information for what you know is a valuable static content piece after the gate? On this week’s Ask Audrey, ion’s Director of Customer Engagement explains how you can leverage interactive elements on both your landing page and conversion path to encourage your online visitors to convert.

Ask Audrey - #48: Revive Your Tired Landing Pages with Interactive Elements

This is Ask Audrey, a digital marketing podcast from ion interactive. ion's Director of Customer Engagement, Audrey Ross, is a wealth of practical hands-on knowledge when it comes to building an interactive capability in your marketing organization. We’ve all seen them. We click through an email or a placed ad and arrive to a page that’s less than exciting. We might get some imagery, some copy, and a less-than-appealing form to fill out, trusting that whatever is on the other side of that form is actually what we want — crossing our fingers that the information we just gave away is worth the content provided to us. However, unfortunately, more and more landing pages just haven’t been living up to the hype of the content given. And with the instant gratification given to our audience online now, many people just aren’t converting on landing pages as much as they used to. They expect excitement, interaction, and value before they give up their private information. So how can you add value to your landing pages, not only to the user but also to you as a marketer yourself? This week, ion’s Director of Customer Engagement gives you a few ideas on how to revive your tired landing pages with the use of interactive elements.

This is Ask Audrey, a digital marketing podcast from ion interactive. ion's Director of Customer Engagement, Audrey Ross, is a wealth of practical hands-on knowledge when it comes to building an interactive capability in your marketing organization. For some organizations, the struggle is real. Enterprise organizations can have some huge wins with interactive content. However, here at ion, we’ve seen some that cannot seem to get more than one or two experiences out the door and gaining insights… while others see interactive content spread across every single division of their company. This success isn’t by accident. It takes a champion, or sometimes a team of champions, to really push interactive content forward. This week on Ask Audrey, ion’s Director of Customer Engagement explains what goes into seeing that rapid expansion of interactive content and how you can create that excitement in your own company.

Ask Audrey - #46: Aspects of Marketing can be Automated, Interactive Content Shouldn’t be One

This is Ask Audrey, a digital marketing podcast from ion interactive. ion's Director of Customer Engagement, Audrey Ross, is a wealth of practical hands-on knowledge when it comes to building an interactive capability in your marketing organization. If you’re just now diving into interactive content, it can almost feel daunting. From drafting the concept of the experience, to deciding what interactive elements to use where, to testing. Sometimes, it might seem like just pressing an “easy” button to have a program do it for you would be a lifesaver. And while automation for many things in content marketing really can be lifesavers, interactive content just simply is not one of them. The beauty of interactive content is the ability to completely reimagine the static content you have in front of you. And while much of the same content may be highlighted in the experience, it takes a resilient, intelligent marketer to really strategize how that interactive experience will boost the online visitor’s interaction with your asset. In this week’s Ask Audrey, ion’s Director of Customer Engagement speaks to how automating these experiences can hinder your interactive content strategy and why it’s worth it to keep the creation process as close to a human marketer as possible.
