But how does this actually work?

Customer.io tells users that the automated messaging platform is how they enable them to build their own workflows.

Bluntly state who your product is for

Customer.io states who their product is for with specificity. Users will now think, "Do I consider myself a tech savvy marketer?" If yes, they will continue reading. If no, they will bounce, which is completely fine.

What's the benefit?

Call-to-Action

When to use two CTAs

If you're not converting regularly through a demo request, adding a free trial may be worth testing. Customer.io likely knows they'd miss a ton of potential customers without the trial.

Emphasize the action you want users to take

"Request Demo" is emphasized because users who get a full demonstration are more likely to be converted and retained.

Call-to-Action

Visual

When cartoons work

Most cartoons you see on company landing pages are arbitrary and meaningless. That's not to say stop using drawn visuals, but to use visuals to show your product's value. This one works because they visualize how the workflow uses time to delay a push notification.

Social Proof

Establishing Credibility

Customer.io bypasses suspicion by saying 2,600 companies already work with them. They ice the cake by implying those who use their product are awesome.

Social Proof

Features

Don't twist the knife when you don't have to

Customer.io's audience of tech-savvy marketers has a burning problem that doesn't need to be further hyped by the copy. Instead, they focus on showing users how much better their life will be with their product.

Features

Using contrast to guide the eye

If you have a lot going on in one section, try using a contrasting visual to guide the eye. Customer.io uses a yellow light bulb so that users naturally read from title to paragraph to image to social proof.

Features

Motivating users through testimonials

Add social proof to feature sections to make the claims feel credible. Look at how Customer.io uses legit marketers to motivate users to look through the tabbed widgets. People, especially in the same profession, will look at and accept the decisions of others as correct.

Section 11

Navigation options

If users aren't interacting with your widgets, experiment with multiple navigation options like tabs and arrows.

Emphasize the important parts

Customer.io highlights all the moving parts of an advanced messaging workflow to give users a dopamine hit, "they can really do all of this?"

Objection Handling

The level of customizability is great until the user's logic brain kicks in and they think, "wait, I've tried setting something like this up in the past, it never worked." Customer.io hedges this by showing the technical specifics.

Ease of use

Customer.io puts emphasis on "just a few clicks", suggesting it's easy to use and takes little time to set up.

Objection Handling

Overcome user tech anxiety

Bring attention to your tech support teams and services if you don't want users to think "What happens if I screw this up? What if I accidentally send 4000 emails to one person?"

A user might also think, "I don't want my emails to bounce, or end up in spam. I'm not sure I want to risk using a service like this" which is why Customer.io ensures user emails get analyzed for maximum deliverability.

Some users understandably feel anxious about giving their data to a random ".io tech company." To prove trust, guarantees data protection.

Objection Handling

Establishing Credibility

When to use statistics

It's easier to explain visually the volume of data they're able to handle than it is to explain through a copy paragraph.

Establishing Credibility

Final CTA and Social Proof

Handle the biggest objection at the end

The last few sections of the landing page are on privacy, security and trust for a reason. Customer.io knows that no amount of painkilling features will win a user over without establishing trust.
