Creating a Call for Action That Works"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

Imagine you’re driving and you pull up to an intersection. There’s no stop sign or traffic light. What do you do? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without a road sign telling you what to do, you might feel confused, lost, and uncertain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a business owner, you never want a customer to feel this way when they visit your website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily, there is an internet equivalent to a road sign \u2014 the call to action or CTA. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read on to learn how to create a call for action that will point your customer in the right direction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep It Simple<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your CTA should encourage your customer to take one action. It might seem like a good idea to list everything you have to offer, but it can actually work against you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, the more options there are, the harder it is to make a decision. This is demonstrated in the famous jam study in which grocery store shoppers were offered samples of 24 different jams. On a different day, there were only 6 options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those who had more options to choose from were one tenth as likely<\/a> to buy the jam as the people with fewer options.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Less is more. Decide on one result you want and create your CTA with that in mind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use Command Verbs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whether you’re using a button or an internal link call to action, start with a command verb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think back to the driving analogy above. A stop sign says STOP, which commands you to halt your vehicle. You don’t have to interpret it, the meaning is clear. Plus, it’s concise enough to fit on a sign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same concept applies to a CTA. If you have a minimalistic website design<\/a> that centers around a sign-up button, you don’t have much space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decide what action is the most important for your business. Then, choose a command verb that matches that action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you need newsletter subscribers? Do you want people to download an eBook? Are you selling a product?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Command verbs like Subscribe, Download, or Buy will tell your customers what to do next. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Give Your Customer a Reason to Act<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sign Up and Register Now are common CTAs. But, these examples don’t tell the customer what they’ll get in return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A better choice would be Sign Up for a Free Trial. This clearly tells the customer that they’ll get a free trial if they sign up. It gives them a reason to make a decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think of your product or service’s unique selling proposition<\/a>. Why should the customer choose your business over a competitor?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, if your business offers free shipping and your competitors don’t, you could highlight that in your call for action. Order Now to Get Free Shipping is a good example. It encourages the customer to take action so they can get the free shipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grow Your Business with the Right Call for Action<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No matter your industry, your business won’t work without customers. Luckily, you can convert your website visitors into customers with the right call for action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
