According to wikipedia, a landing page is built to convert leads from an email, social media, ppc or search campaign. They are an important tool in any online marketing campaign and are effective in converting browsers into clients. The landing page contains detailed information about the specific product or service that is mentioned, especially benefits and features. It should be considered part of the marketing campaign and shouldn’t just be another page on your website.
