Generating leads is crucial and one way to do this is by using lead magnets. It’s all great having visitors on your website but not much use if they don’t convert. 

So, what are lead magnets?

The purpose of a lead magnet is to gain contact details, often an email address, in exchange for something that is of value to the customer. 

Lead magnets can be a variety of offerings and can be used in whatever industry you’re in. Common lead magnets include downloadable PDFs which could be guides or informative fact sheets, an Ebook, samples or webinars. 

How do you choose what to offer?

Your lead magnet needs to be perceived to have a high value to your customer. They’re not going to part with their contact details unless what they are getting is beneficial to them. 

For the content of your lead magnet, you can pick a topic or solution to a specific problem your target audience has. It’s also good to note that your lead magnet should be relevant to the specific website page it will be on. For example, a lead magnet that is for landlords isn’t much use being on the vendor page. 

Remember, the point of your lead magnet is to generate leads so ensure it still promotes your business.
