How to Use a 404 Error Page as a Marketing Tool
I just ran into the most incredibly simple and genius example of practical marketing and I had to share this tip with you:
Use your 404 page to point lost visitors to an irresistible offer
Links get misspelled, cut off or your content gets moved over time — the last thing you want is for your web page visitor to end up on another site! Keep them glued to your content by creating a 404 page that directs them to more content or an offer.
Here is the inspiration for this tip that I found on Kissmetrics.
