There is no such thing as a successful marketing campaign unless there is a visible call to action (CTA) placed on your website, blog, email, or social media platforms. To be profitable within your business and convert your leads into customers, it all depends on the call to action. A CTA is so compelling, so essential and the foundation of any successful online marketing campaigns. If you are willing to get to know your audience and experiment with different CTAs, you will be closer in achieving what conversion rates you want.
What is a Call to Action?
A call to action is a word, expression, or sentence that entices your readers. With the right call to action, you can persuade people who visit your website, read your emails or explore your social media platforms to take the next step. Often in digital marketing, CTAs consists of text that is placed on a button or a link to make your audience do a specific action.
Most people encounter many CTAs throughout the day, especially if they spend a lot of time on the internet, but what makes them click on the CTA?
Make Your CTA Stand Out
People will stop to look at anything if it is engaging and intriguing. Create an aesthetically pleasing design that will grab your readers’ attention to click on your CTAs.
Fear of Missing Out
CTAs that use importance and scarcity will more than likely make your readers follow through on the action. When your CTA seems urgent, such as “only 12 hours left, to redeem this deal.” shows that an enticing offer will be expiring soon.
Benefits Your Company Offers
An example of this can be, creating a click-through button asking people to sign up for your email alerts, allowing them not to miss out on any company updates.
Fulfill Promises Immediately
Instantly delivers any content that is promised to your audience when they click on your CTA. For example, your CTA states "Free Trail for a Month, Once you Sign Up." Once your viewers, click on the CTA, allow them to use your services immediately.
