Oct-Nov 2014 Trends and Our Favorite Landing Pages


By Josh Ledgard

Dec 3rd, 2014


We’ve kept ourselves extremely busy improving things behind the scenes here at KickoffLabs. So it’s good seeing many of our customer doing the same for their businesses.

Today we’re going through our combined customer analytics and favorite pages for Oct – Nov 2014.

Leads Generated for customers

422,900

Steady growth in # of quality leads KickoffLabs generated for our customers during these months.

Conversion Rate

16.56%

The overall conversion rate of all our customers. Keep in mind that some campaigns perform much better than others. We’ve seen some (let’s be honest) crappy campaigns that really need optimizing, while others getting really nice conversion rates well above 50%.

Learn more about what makes for a good conversion rate by clicking here.

Viral Boost

34.6%

This is the percentage of people that share their KickoffLabs generated unique referral link and get others to sign up.

Asking for the share after signup is really going to help drive the virality of your landing pages.

Age Groups

25-34 & 35-44 yr olds consistently lead the pack. But don’t ignore the growing 55-64 & 65+ segments!

Gender

oct-nov-sex

In the past months females were dominating signups (previously almost 70%). During this cycle, males seem to almost even out the playing field.
