Do you use tools, or do you use your own experience to determine the value?

@didem_eriskin what if you're launching and if you dont have any social proof? What will be the replacement?
@didem_eriskin exactly this 🙌🏼 Also what would you recommend using for social proof when you’ve got a product at ground zero? Hand collected testimonials from friends/family?

@cameron_napoli @bybshkn you can offer your product to a select group of people who are willing to test it and provide feedback. Also hand-picked testimonials from friends and family can be a starting point, while you can get feedback from early users from the beta version of the product 🙌🏼

Clear and crisp CTA's are core for any landing page imo. If via your landing page you are able to peek user interest in the right things that you want then your ROI on landing will be high.
We at Saydata are currently revamping our landing page before our launch and hence been focusing a lot to keep it minimalist and with clear cut CTA's do check us out on launch day.
The value of a landing page should always be looked at through the prism of the customer journey phase. A headline, for example, might be perfect, but if it's not adjusted to the customer journey phase, you will probably experience low conversion rates.
Having that in mind, I would say:
- Headline
- Social Proof
- CTA buttons + CTAs boosters (e.g No credit card required)
- Benefits + Features
- Smart internal linking
- Responsive design
Of course, it really depends on the whole context of your business/industry, and there isn't one-size-fits-all solution
Use a compelling headline, clear and concise copy, strong visuals, and prominent call-to-action buttons.
One big button in the middle that says "goodies"
Seriously though, simplicity. You're requirements are for speed of communication? Then remove anything that distracts. Each element on the page requires attention and processing.
So don't waste your user's brain power on anything that isn't core to that page's purpose.
If you want users to sign up, have the bare minimum about what benefits the product brings, and big obvious button to sign up.
Also, test, you might no get it right the first time. A/B testing is your friend when it comes to figuring out how value is communicated.
Measure value appropriately, if you are measuring if the product is valuable, nothing says that like purchases, so measure purchases / hits to the page.
Hope this helped.

@jeducious so you mean convey the idea minimalistically is the key 👍🏻
@bybshkn Not necessarily minimalistic, that brings connotations of having the least amount on the page possible, what I refer to is, to have only the relevant info for the pages purpose. That could be quite a bit of info if the product is complex.
The main message is 'stick to the purpose of the page', if you're selling, don't mix in other messages about subscribing to a newsletter or follows on social media. Have one obvious 'thing to do' on that page, which is getting to the checkout. Similarly for the other things I mentioned like subscribing or following.
@jeducious Awesome tips, thank you!
