The prime goal of the landing page is to save the email address of anyone who has taken advantage of the bonus offering.

Email 3. This is obviously the killer email that secures the sale. From the previous two emails You have earned the reader's trust , built an understanding of the product and removed any barriers that prevented the reader from buying.
