Use this funnel to capture leads (emails, phone numbers, etc.). This funnel begins with a Lead Capture Page that is used to convince visitors to sign up and leave their contact information without any commitment to purchasing anything.
It usually takes up to 7 touches (point of contact) before a prospect is ready to buy, so with this funnel, you can capture your prospect’s email, and then you can contact them later to further promote your campaign.
This funnel is made up of 2 pages:
-
Lead Capture Page
-
Thank You Page
If you're working on a campaign right now, make sure you have these 2 funnel pages in your campaign. Otherwise, you can create a new funnel using the "Simple Lead Capture Funnel"

Step 2 - Set Up Your Lead Capture Page
The Lead Capture Page is the very first page on the funnel, its main goal is to convert a page visitor to a prospect.
Tip #1: The length of your landing page will help you in deciding which position is best for your capture form. If your page content is short, you should place your form above the fold. If your page is content is long you can place the form above the fold and below the fold as well.
Tip #2: Your CTA button must have a contrasting color to the rest of your landing page to stand out. It must be big enough to be noticed by all visitors. The CTA has to have a personalized copy.
