A Thank You Page can be a great place to send people after they complete your forms, so you can keep them engaged with your website.
In this tutorial, we’ve made a step-by-guide on exactly how to create a WordPress Thank You Page.
What Is a Thank You Page?
A Thank You Page is a landing page on your website that simply thanks someone for doing something, and offers them next steps. If set up correctly, a Thank You Page in WordPress can really grow your relationships with your audience.
This seemingly simple page can nurture leads and encourage them to become customers. And, it can also help cross-promote to current customers. The possibilities are endless.
Wondering why to create a Thank You Page? There are some huge benefits to having one on your website like:
- Ability to offer a coupon code to page visitors.
- Makes leads and customers feel more engaged and builds brand trust.
- Uses psychology for a powerful marketing persuasion trigger.
- Can be used to collect email addresses in exchange for a free lead magnet (which you deliver on the Thank You Page).
…and countless other reasons.
There’s a free version of SeedProd with everything you need to build simple landing pages. However, in this tutorial, we’ll be using a paid version of the plugin, SeedProd Pro, because it’s the best landing page builder around and gives you great options when building your thank you page in WordPress.
