Definition of RANDOM: “Having no definite aim or purpose; not sent or guided in a particular direction; made, done, occurring, etc., without method or conscious choice; haphazard.”

Oxford English Dictionary

We have been living in the age of random for awhile now. It’s popular to wear a hodgepodge of patterns, listen to unrelated ideas in song lyrics, go to “random” places, visit “random” people, and even to believe opposing ideologies, no matter how illogical.

Although living a random existence may be a popular postmodern construct, it does not serve the marketer who needs to create a high-converting landing page. Yet randomness prevails even in the digital marketing world.

Random ideas are often cobbled together in planning meetings without a coherent, unified goal and methodology to achieve it. The results are a leaky funnel and untapped customers. So even good random ideas aren’t enough.

In this recent live video session, Flint McGlaughlin, CEO and Managing Director, MECLABS Institute, shares how you can move from good ideas to strategic messaging.

Watch the replay to learn three advanced principles to help achieve strategic messaging and overcome these deadly conversion mistakes:

  • Pages before hypotheses
  • Diagnosis without prescription
  • Creativity without science

Here are some key points in the video:

  • 23:16 Live optimization – Nursing program
  • 27:32 Tracking customer footprints – Ask yourself what stimulated the last behavior that led them to your landing page.

  • 47:27 Three questions to ask yourself to get your page in the high-performance zone
