-  WSI Conducted a Virtual Training Session This Week Highlighting Common Mistakes and Tested Techniques with Landing Page Design -

Toronto, Ontario, September 16, 2010… WSI, the world’s #1 digital marketing franchise, conducted an online training session this week where hundreds of business owners and marketing professionals attended to expand their knowledge of effective landing page design. The webinar was hosted by Chuck Bankoff, a WSI Consultant and landing page conversion expert located in California, USA. The session, which was entitled “Landing Page Design: Common Mistakes and Tested Techniques”, was aimed at providing business owners 6 essential steps to landing page design, including important elements such as page length, navigation bars, color, text and other design aspects that make for a powerful, conversion-focused landing page.

Chuck Bankoff, WSI Consultant and webinar presenter, says, "A landing page is where Web visitors land after clicking on an email link, a search engine result, a banner ad or manually typing in a specifically advertised address. It's easy to fall into the trap of throwing money into driving traffic and living with your conversion rate. This is not exactly efficient or cost effective. People do not read on the Internet; they scan. They see headlines, images and bullet points. Depending on the personality type of your visitor, you have between 2 and 8 seconds to convince them to stay on your website and delve deeper into it. During this presentation, I discussed some important steps to ensuring your landing page converts the traffic that you drive to it."

Chuck Bankoff is a WSI Certified Research Analyst, and has certified other WSI Consultants around the world in Landing Page Design and Conversion Architecture strategies. Chuck is currently serving his third term on the WSI Internet Consultant Advisory Council and is a sought-after speaker at Internet marketing conferences in both the United States and Europe.
