LANDING PAGES:51 INSPIRATIONAL EXAMPLES OF MOBILE APPS LANDING PAGES WORTH BENCHMARKING.


The Perfect Theme For Marketing Just About... Anything


Mobile applications seem to be mushrooming by the thousands and hitting the store by the hundreds everyday.There seem to be an application for everything from checking your heartbeat to reading your flirt meter (what?!).You'd be surprised to know this but i came across a company which makes an app a day.Yes,an app a day!!This is what the owner had to say 'even bloggers makes mobile apps these days..hahaha".Good business for them but can only imagine how many apps would be out there considering the numerous companies and freelance developers that make them.And think of the poor marketers too.Can you imagine how many sleepless nights he/she must be spending trying to figure out the Why,What,Where and How's of the landing page??I'm hoping that this post will help the poor chaps.
I'm sure you must have seen like a few thousand apps and app landing pages by now if own a phone,iPad or have the habit of surfing the net like a dog (like me!!).They just seem to be everywhere and keep taking you from one page to the other right?Good news,i have a few more to annoy you further-only this time it's the sleek,lean and the sexier one's!!
I'm assuming that you love landing pages since you've already wasted 2 minutes reading this post.:-)

Liked what you saw??You can grab the Elegant Themes and Squeeze Themes landing page theme/skins and make everyone jealous or simply head over to the Envato Marketplace.They have hundreds of awesome landing page choices to confuse you more with the selection.If you are a marketer,then try Kolakube or the Profits Theme.


LANDING PAGES:150 AWESOME LANDING PAGES TO DROLL OVER!!


The Perfect Theme For Marketing Just About... Anything


I had a hard time with this one!
Honestly, when I came up with the post idea, I seriously never thought that making a “Top 10” or “Top 100” list of awesome landing pages would be so difficult. In fact I thought it would just be a case of copy pasting and a bit of googling-damn, I was wrong.It's not simple Permutations and combinations either?!
There are just too many yummy, lean and sexy examples of awesome landing pages out there that it’s not  possible to make a Top 10 or a Top 100 (I know you’re giving me that look but I dare you to try it yourself).After three days, four edits and juggling with around 500 super awesome landing pages, I thought enough was enough and made a 150 list instead.
At first I thought I would keep the list to myself but hey, information and knowledge are suppose to be shared right (my way of saying "damn,i'm cool!).Some of the links may lead to their home pages, so make sure to click on the 'products' page to see a demo of their landing page.
 ……enzzoi  the list!!:-)
