Mastering the Call to Action


Digital Advertising in Port Macquarie means nothing if you don't know the best ways to use your Call to Actions or (CTA's), because a Call to action may possibly be the easiest way for you to produce a lead. It can make or break depending upon how weak or strong your CTA is, and so I wish to give you a few tips to make sure that you are doing the best you can to grow your brand and produce those necessary leads.



Wording
Really simple, stay clear from common words that are going to make you seem desperate or like you are pushing for a sale. For example, picking between the words, 'buy' and 'shop' as a CTA, one might think that they both mean the same thing. But you will have to understand that many people on the net often avoid commitment, therefore subconsciously even there is a inclination for customers to think that the phrase 'buy' is closing them into something, though 'shop' is a way for them to learn more details. The issue I am aiming to make is that you really should consider the wording and avoid words that have unforeseen consequences.

Shape and Colour
It may seem strange, but Shape and colour of your CTA can affect its success. In the world of Digital Advertising there have been a variety of studies into the concept of design and its affect upon a customer's perception, and essentially one theory claims that curves are the most effective way to go. So, if you intend to try and optimise even more, think about making the button for your call to action curved, rather than a rectangle.

Now, colour, this is a further area that there are a few theories on. Some people will have you believe that green is wonderful because it indicates 'go', but to keep away from red because it is 'stop', or that blue is calming so it may make people more relaxed ... Ultimately there really isn't any conclusive evidence to suggest one option over every other, so just opt for what works best for your style. One point that I will discuss though is that you should be aware of the font size and colour-- If you want your digital advertising to be most effective in the Port Macquarie area, it is a good idea to try and make it different from the rest of your content, but don't go too crazy.

Location

Where your call to action is placed is quite important to digital advertising results.

All that I suggest by this is see to it that you don't have it tucked away behind-the-scenes somewhere, or that you have way too much text that is convoluting the Call to action.

Finally it all comes down to finding out the combination that works for you, remember your wording, shape, colour, size and placement of your brand's Call To Action, and when you bring all the factors together just think basic and think about your consumer.
