Create a branded Instagram landing page in Showit

I have some good news and some even better news coming your way. The good news is that in the next few days I’ll be having a beautiful free Showit template for you, and a training to help you get your Showit website done in a weekend. The even better news is that I have a ready made-for-you social media landing page template for you right now.

Why should I even have an Instagram landing page?

Well, haven’t you been working hard to get traffic to your website? Do you really love linking to third-party pages instead of your own? How about measuring your conversion rate? Or even better, increasing your conversion rate?

That’s what I thought. ? Having a link in your Instagram bio is a really great move to lead your followers to wherever you want! If you are a maker and have your Creative Market or Etsy store, you most definitely want to give them a quick access to that! Or have your followers read your latest and greatest on your blog. Or my favorite: giving your followers an easy way to reach out for your services. This is your audience, you decide how their journey goes when they land on your profile.

By having an Instagram landing page hosted on your own website you make sure that the customer journey has the best experience, plus, you drive traffic to your website, link exactly to what you want to link, and you can create multiple options for your audience.

What should an Instagram landing page include?

• Your social icon. Yes, they come from Instagram, they just saw it but believe me, this is all about brand awareness, so add it in there.
• Your logo. Because, branding.
• Opt ins and freebies! This is the place for you to showcase them and give your followers even more value!
• In case you want to have it on the side: newsletter sign up form
• CTA: aka, Call to Action. This is your #1 (or currently most important) offer that you don’t want them to miss!
• Blog / Latest links. That podcast you have? Link it up. The newest blog posts you keep talking about? Just have a link to your blog so they can find everything. [/one_half_last]
