We should consider these three points while creating the lead capture form.

Form Position
Your landing page length helps you to decide where to position the form. If the landing page is short then the form should be placed above the fold but for a long term landing page, we can place above and below to the fold.

Form Length
Form length should be related to the kind of business, short form collects more lead with less information. Mostly, only Name and Email-Id but long-form collects less lead with more information. Because the customer has to provide more information such as Name, Email-Id, Mobile Number, Business Address, Geographical Address, etc.

Link and Privacy Policy
Lead capture form should carry “Privacy Policy” and “Terms and Conditions” link about their detail privacy and to build the trust in the customers mind.

Example:

Facebook asks First Name, Last Name, Mobile Number, New Password, DOB and Gender. Because based on these details Facebook is going to set up the account of a particular person. Facebook will identify the unique detail and then Facebook will set up the account.
XYZ Ltd provides free analytics study material to their website visitors and they are asking visitors to subscribe to the service after typing emailed on their website and emailed id verification via a link on mail. Once the verification process will get complete then the subscriber can download the copy of study material.
Landing page plays a vital role in the website to collect the information from the customer, market, and visitors as they are going to be live customer and user of the website.

What is Thank You Page
It is a page in a website where the customer gets automated response from the website after filling detail in the landing page. Thank you, page play a vital role, to create a positive image in the mind of the customer. Thank you, the page is site page, that someone is redirected after filling out a form on your landing page.

The website is a marketing investment of any business as you do with other business, the website is successful when it provides a steady flow of new customer to your business every month.

Most of the online small business acquire sales lead via a web form that visitors fill out right on their website. The form is the best solution for getting information from your online customer or visitors because they feel it easy and convenient to use it. When you want to allow your customer to reach out to you and request something from you then you really make this process very easy.

Once your visitors fill out the form in your website then they submit the form. They will get a default reply of a simple confirmation message from the website. This simple confirmation massage really does not make a positive effect on customers mind. It looks like simply walking out from the room without any happiness and losing the interest of customer about our website and product.

We have to take advantage of this great opportunity and make then to engage in the website by changing simple confirmation message to Thank you SMS to Thank you page.

There are three reasons to keep Thank you page instead of the simple confirmation message.
1. Tracking marketing result:
If you use web marketing tool like google analytics then you can keep track you record of your website with help of thank you page(Record the completion of your form) but when you have only confirmation message on your website then you may be not able to track your record properly like how many people have visited website and how many have filled the form.

Don’t end the process once the customer visits the website after submitting the form. The customer who has submitted the form are the best visitors to your website. If you have only confirmation message your customer feels standard process after submitting the form. So, take advantage of this opportunity and guide your visitors to read more information which you want them to read on your website.

You can redirect them via a link after thanking you page inside your website to read your Testimonial, Case study or even detailed product pricing or give them the opportunity to sign up for your email newsletter so your business will remain top of your customer's mind.

If they don’t buy today, you can at least keep in touch with them via call or E-mail so that they may buy later.

2. Provide personal experience:
What’s a benefit with personal experience? A simple confirmation thank you for a message or the opportunity to build a real connection between your business and your website visitors. It is because thank you message comes from business and thank you pages comes from the real person.

When you mention thanking your page instead of the message, then you get more space to show them your personal experience.

3. Acknowledge your company received the request:
If you had ever filled a form if yes then getting a reply with confirmation message does not give extraordinary confidence. But when we get dedicated thank you page then we have another level of confidence.

We always think that the customer who filled the form on our website is going to be a long-term customer. Because they have raised their hand and became one of the most valued website customers.

We have to keep or send thank you for a personalized message instead of simple thank you message. Once they will receive personalizes massage then they will feel appreciated and they will prepare then self to begin working with your business.
