the launch of new cocktail list
Call-to-actions (CTAs) are one of the most
important elements on any landing page.
Their design and copywriting should
always be tested. The current one
“Register Now” seems clear enough but
never the less a more benefit oriented one
might prove to be converting better.
Your call-to-action (CTA) should use a
contrasting color to draw the attention of
the visitor on it.
Your average visitor’s attention is very low
and it needs to be appropriately directed
in order to complete the desired action.
Currently, the main part of the landing
page uses primarily a shade of red. It
highlights important and the same time
less important information.
Build a single purpose page for your
PPC traffic, concentrating on getting
visitors to register a new account.
Your landing page (LP) should serve one
and only one purpose.
Currently the LP has 3 primary functions:
 - New Registration
 - Signing In
 Password Resetting

Digital Scent
Headline/Subheadline
Directional Cues
Use of arrows, lines or line of sight hero
image are all different forms of
directional guidance you can use.
Another possible issue with the LP is the
lack of direction. Lots of copywriting tightly
gathered together. You need a clear, easy
to follow path for the visitor to follow.
Run A/B optimization tests to figure out
what resonates best with your targeted
demographic.
Just like the CTA, the
Headline/Subheadline combination is
another area where you should be
constantly running optimization tests. It’s
important to match the messaging in this
part to the messaging of the actual ad.
Feature similar copywriting and imagery
on your ads as well as on the LP. What
ever got them to click on an ad should
be present on the LP.
You need to establish a clear, easily
traceable, link between your ads and the
landing page. Otherwise, you are running
into the possibility of visitors bouncing off
the page, if they can’t detect this “digital
scent”.
Next
White Space
You need a balanced page with lots of
white space to make what counts stand
out. It would give your eyes an easy
target to focus on - the CTA.
Lack of white space between the different
sections and elements of the page buries
the important content.

Attention Ratio
Font Size
Structure - “Wall of text”
Break up content into more easily
scannable sections and subsections.
Important content is buried underneath a
big “wall of text”. Most visitors will ignore it
and will not have enough information to
take the desired action - registering an
account.
Quite simply, you need to increase the
font size to be at least 15px or 16px. It
would allow easier scanning of the
copywriting and reduce friction.
Digital screens are not a book or a
magazine, you might pick up and read.
Fonts render differently across operating
systems, browsers and displays. The
current font size renders at 13px.
Clear the header and footer section of
the LP from any links not related directly
to registering a new account.
Just as you need to have a single purpose
page, your landing page shouldn’t provide
any possible exit opportunities for your
visitors.
Any link (currently 34) on the LP is a
possible leak in your conversion funnel.

Benefits
Clearly show and state the main benefits
of the 7Eleven/Moneygram service.
Format it as 3-5 bullet points.
You need a strong features section framed
as benefits statements for the visitor.
Currently all the benefits of the service are
“hiding” inside the main body of text.

Images
Instructions
Social Proof
Show and highlight relevant numbers
associated with sending/receiving
money through 7Eleven/MoneyGram.
Numbers are a great social proof
technique, you can use to further
strengthen the benefits for the visitor.
Redesign both of these sections
(Sending/Receiving) by concentrating on
bringing forward the most important
information. Use larger icons, less text
and clear steps (1-2-3-4).
The current design of the instructions
section makes it hard to scan and get the
relevant information.
Test whether featuring an appropriate
header/background image would help
conversions. It needs to be relevant to
the purpose of the site.
The page lacks any images reinforcing the
statements being made. Images are
generally easier to process by the brain
and can easily bring conscious and
subconscious improvements.
Next
Testimonials
Gather and use testimonials on the
landing page. Concentrate on people
discussing how the benefits of the
service has helped them.
Social proof plays an important part in
optimizing for conversions. It often helps
having testimonials from people who have
used the product/service.
Security & Trust
Employ copywriting and design elements
(seals, icons) to clearly state the security
of the information being collected.
Visitors might be reluctant to share a
sensitive information if they aren’t sure
your site will keep it safe. Currently, there
are no reassurances about the security of
the site.

Responsiveness
Click-thru vs. Lead Gen. LP
Test whether featuring a lead box on the
landing page would help reduce the
friction and increase the number of
successful registration. Asking visitors a
few easy questions (Name, Email) and
taking them directly to Step 2 of the
registration process can prove to be
beneficial. It’s easier to move people
along a conversion funnel by asking
them easy, readily available information
first. Once you get them engaged, it is
more likely they would fill in the rest of
the form.
Currently the landing page can be
classified as a click-thru page. The visitors
engages with the CTA and is being taken
to the registration form.
A proper responsive design should be
implemented for the LP. The actual
registration form is responsive but you
need people to see it.
Almost 65% of your traffic is comprised of
mobile and tablet devices. The current
page is not properly optimized for these
devices. It makes it hard to get your idea
forward and stimulate visitors to take
action.
Next
Long vs. Short
Test a more simple, shorter landing
page. An LP consisting only of headline,
subheadline, 3 benefits and a clear CTA.
Another common A/B test for a landing
page is testing long vs. short pages. The
brand recognition of 7Eleven and
MoneyGram might be enough to convince
people of the benefits of the service.
