Targeted Audience, Targeted Message… Better ROI The “How” & “How Successful” of Microsites and Landing Pages
Session Type
Thinking (Concurrent Session): 60-75 minutes
Session Description
There’s a reason some of today’s most successful enrollment marketing campaigns utilize microsites and landing pages - they work. Is it their ability to target markets, have a manageable budget and timeline for implementation, or their ability to track campaign performance? Of course, it’s “all of the above” and more. We’ll explore the “nuts and bolts” of successful campaigns including “must have” content for every microsite and landing page, determining key performance indicators, testing to improve performance, using data to optimize enrollment marketing and using a microsite vs. landing page. We’ll present two case studies to demonstrate the power of microsites and landing pages.
