How to Structure Your Event Planning Landing Pages

October 31, 2022 Mario Stewart

Landing pages play a pivotal role in your event planning marketing strategy. Event planners use landing pages to do everything from funneling leads to inviting guests. And to make sure you’re squeezing every drop of ROI out of your landing pages, these are the formatting and structure insights you need to see. Regardless of what your landing pages are intended to do, this is the formula you should follow to ensure they’re successful.

Captivating Headers

Headings and subheadings, or messages “above the fold” on your landing page should be short, describe exactly what you’re doing, and be captivating. Don’t fluff these statements or try to be cryptic. When visitors first arrive on the landing page, they should know exactly what to expect from it.

Problem-Solving Language

Throughout your landing page, make sure you're using positive language that implies problem-solving. Phrases like “hassle-free event planning” and “easy to use” will send a message to your visitors that event planning challenges are solved by working with you. Call out some of those event problems your clients often face. And then be prompt about outlining your services as the best solutions. 

PASO and AIDA Techniques

You’ve likely heard of the PASO and AIDA frameworks. These formatting acronyms can be beneficial in helping you carve out the engaging language you need on your event planning landing pages. If you’re unfamiliar, here are their definitions:

PASO: Pain, Agitate, Solve, Outcome 

AIDA: Attention, Interest, Desire, Action

Using either framework, your landing page should identify with your audience’s issue, pique their interest, introduce a solution, and make it a no-brainer to click for more. If your landing pages aren’t as effective as you’d like them to be, consider reworking them using these frameworks as your guide.

Precise CTAs

Probably the most important feature on your landing page is the call to action. CTAs will direct visitors to take action, whether you’re asking them to subscribe to your newsletter, RSVP for an event, or contact you about planning an event. But you have to craft language that is precise, so visitors know they’re taking action. And consider providing different levels of opting-in for those who might not be ready to commit to making a decision yet. For example, have an option to “learn more” or redirect to a FAQs section.
