Today is the time where marketing has become the bloodline of all businesses, whatever be  the commodity or service. As discussed in earlier blogs it’s not about what you are selling but how you are selling that interests the masses. For this the company puts different materials into use. These materials are known as marketing assets or in common terms marketing materials. 

What Marketing Materials Actually Are!!

Marketing material is any media collateral that the company possesses in order to promote the different services and products the company offers. It also plays a vital role in brand building. In a nutshell any assets that you can use to convey the company’s vision and mission are known as marketing materials.

Marketing materials are mainly of two forms print and digital. Today we shall talk about digital marketing materials. They are all the other company assets ranging right from blog posts to videos, websites, landing pages. Basically everything that goes on about the company off the print.

With the passage of time and the advent of going digital print marketing materials are almost going obsolete.Today we shall talk about one of the most popular marketing materials, landing pages!!

To a lay man a landing page is the web page that a visitor is redirected to as a result of a click on an Ad, CTA or any other online destination. But it’s much more for a marketer/businessman. It’s a dedicated stand-alone page that drives the viewer to a particular action that helps in fulfilling different marketing goals, it can be subscribing, downloading a resource, generating sales and what not.

Most of the time a user confuses the landing page vs home page. The difference is vast, when you redirect to a landing page you focus on a single goal, whereas when you redirect a homepage you give the user a full-fledged online experience of your company. Hence, it is not advisable to redirect to a homepage, as it may confuse the user and he may bounce
