10:05-10:50 | Turn 4X More Ad Clicks into Conversions with Post-Click Automation™![]() Turn 4X More Ad Clicks into Conversions with Post-Click Automation™OverviewThe biggest inefficiency in the $273B digital advertising industry is turning ad clicks into conversions. Today, fewer than 4.5% of ad clicks convert into leads or customers, leaving billions of dollars wasted on advertising. This is unacceptable in today's age of data and information. Instapage CEO Tyson Quick will show you how he has used Post-Click Automation to optimize 1:1 ad-to-page personalization for every visitor, creating a cohesive journey from ad to post-click experience. He'll show you how to use advertising data-the same data each of you already possess-to drive growth and acquire new users. Discover how to hack the same targeted experience you provide in your advertising and use it during the conversion process with examples of successful digital advertising campaigns. Improving ROI, reducing ad spend, and delivering more conversions is as easy as making visitors feel like you're talking directly to them, one-on-one. SponsorPostclick is the leader in post-click automation. Our visionary team uses cutting-edge personalization techniques and conversion intelligence to deliver ad-to-page relevancy-giving you the confidence that your advertising investment will yield the highest possible return. |
