Check out my Sales Page and give me some Feedback

6 replies
Hi fellow Warriors.

Just launched this new site sometime ago and have had mixed results. Please check it our here:

Start a Lawn Care Business

So let me tell you the History. Launched this about a month ago (with a totally different sales page) had a few orders, a ton of clicks and a 90% bounce rate.

Then I switched to the latest sales page you see here and turned my ads back on. Clicks stayed consistent, sales increased and bounce rate decreased to 82%.... still high but reasonable. And the orders were good so I thought I was set.


After the first week of being up the page went cold, ice cold. Not an order for 10 days so I finally turned off the adwords campaign. I used to have a video at the top of the site (my business partner talking about how this page is going to change your life). He is 26, I'm 28... we thought the video might be what is making people bounce.... who wants to learn from a Young kid - so no video now and I'm thinking I'll turn my adwords back on. See how it goes

Just want some feedback and advice from my fellow warriors about my sales page to see what I can do to increase the sales.

Please give me your honest advice - I'd really appreciate it. I'd do the same for you.

Thanks,
Adam

    Im going to be very harsh here. Being nasty to be nice.

    Im sick of seeing the same old looking sales pages, same ol pitches, blah blah blah. Where is your USP? Where is your passion? Where is your energy?

    I want to see pictures of you with your lawn business, i want to see you smiling next to Anne and John standing in theyre lucious looking front garden that YOU created. I want to see you riding a ride on mower!

    There is no personality coming through in this sales page. It screams "I WANT MONEY NOW! AND I DONT CARE ABOUT HELPING YOU!". I've made this mistake in the past and its not a good one.

    Think about this: Why do people want to start a lawn care business?

    Money, Freedom, Be Their Own Boss, Have Financial Control Of Their Lives, Spend, More Time With Their Kids, Get Out Into The Sun, Get Some Fresh Air, Become Healthier... Essentially to 'change their lives'. And this sales page is not life changing material for me. Sorry.

    The start of the sales page completely lost me. It did not target any of my emotions. There are 4 things that drive buyers. They are:

    Drive To Acquire

    Drive To Bond

    Drive To Comprehend

    Drive To Defend

    These are the reasons people buy anything. The more of them you pack into that little sales page, the more sales you make.

    *TIP FOR YOU*

    Use all four.

    Drive To Acquire; "How Would You Like To Earn XXXX Amount Per Week Doing Exactly What I Do, Step By Step?"

    Drive To Bond; I suggest a video and or pictures of yourself. "Like You, I Was Constantly Wanting A Better Healthier Future For My Family And Myself, I Used To Work XX Hour Days X Days A WeekIn An Office And Never Spent Time With My Wife And Kids. Now I Make XXXX Per Week And I Work When I Want, Meaning Im Now Spending Quality Time With My Family Again. Just The Other Day I Took My Son With Me To Work And Taught Him How To Use A Lawn Mower".

    Drive To Comprehend; You say you're a successful lawn care business operator at the top of the pitch page. But i want to see proof. I want to see why you are the grand master of your field and how i too can learn your secrets!! "I've Spent XXXX Amount On Books, Tools, Seminars, Coaching and Development Products Over XX Years. Its Taken Me XX Amount Of Time To Learn All The Secrets Of Running And Operating A Highly Successful Lawn Care Business That Makes XXXX Amount A Week *Click Here For Proof*. Once You Learn All The Information I Possess I Have No Doubt You'll Be Part Of Our Club Too".

    Drive To Defend; "With What I Can Share With YOU, The Insider Secrets, You Will Have The Power To Grow Your Business With A Much Less Inherent Risk Of Loss. Trust Me This Is One Business You Dont Want To Fail In, However Small The Investment May Be, When You Dont Have Another Source Of Income And Your Business Begins To Tumble You Could End Up Struggling And Losing Parts Of Your Business To The Bank. Doing It On Your Own Means A Much Higher Risk. Why Take That Risk When I Can Show You The Pit Falls To Avoid. The Pit Falls That Crush XXXX Amount Of New Small Business's Each Year!"

    Well there ya go. I learnt about the 4 drives from a book by Peter Sheahan and he got it from PR Lawrence.

    p.s. Is it Adam or Brandon?

    Cheers Andrei

      I automatically assumed that it was for a Lawn cutting product, The colours are green. You mention lawn in the domain.

      Andrei Rotariu has given some valid points, I wouldn't ignore his advice.

      I have some minors, Increase the font size of the headline, colour is fine.

      I like the graphics at the top of the page, it visually shows what it is about.

      Hi Andrei,

      I'm Adam - my business partner is Brandon. We came up with the program together. Thought it would be better coming from one person not 2.

      So do you have any examples of sales pages that incorporate all the elements you spoke of above? I'd love to see what one looks like.

      I appreciate your feedback. Planning on making some changes here real soon.

    I would work on the design part of the website, for now it does not say "hey, check me out, I'm a proffessional", it looks a bit outdated considering the graphics nowadays pages have

      Good on you for taking some action and at least getting a sales page up.

      It is a lot more than some people do!

      I like it mate.
