Go-to-North-Stars

NORTH STAR – FOOTER: 

Dairy Boy: I LOVE the design of this footer. It is far from standard and really beautiful / clear / tight. It’s also incredibly on brand.

However, there are some MUCH lower hanging fruits for Dairy Boy to attack. The CRM capture for starters (screenshot below). Adding a CTA to the homepage hero (screenshot below).

So, my advice is this. Tricks and special details AFTER fundamentals.

NORTH STAR – ANOTHER FOOTER: 

Via Carota Craft Cocktails: The best websites are fun to shop. A surprise moment below the footer? WHY NOT!! So far down that it’s almost an Easter Egg. 

P.S. Still one of my favorite launches of my entire career. And of course, Amber KILLED IT.

WEBSITE FUNNEL HACKING: 

FREE EVENT ALERT . Funnel hacking, brought to life. Go-to-Millions Breakfast Club is coming right up.This is market research (okay fine, its literally shopping) and there is no better way to study a brand or a business than to behave like a customer.

So, let’s do just that. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 2ND, 11AM ET. 

NORTH STAR – PDP:

SkinCeuticals: SkinCeuticals is the leader in Vitamin C. I’ve listed them as a north star for their PDP (product detail page) not because this PDP is pretty. Far from it LOL. 

It is PACKED with information. It is CLEAR. It also uses the PDP for 1 SKU (C E FERULIC) to educate it’s customers on why this might not be the Vitamin C for them. 

Based on this chart, I should be buying the brand’s SILYMARIN CF instead. If you stop your customers from buying the wrong product from your line, you’ve protected your repeat customer rate, you’ve eliminated a return, you’ve stopped a bad review, and you’ve still made the sale. 

PROMOBAR APPROACH TO TRY:

Graza: The promobar reads: ‘HI! WE <3 YOU FOR VISITING OUR SITE.’

Heartwarming, really. I’m going to try this tug-on-the-heartstrings technique on one of my sites and report back. TY, Graza for the inspo! <3 YOU.

A MEME:

The Marketing Millennials never misses LOL.
