What is a Call to Action?
According to HubSpot, a call-to-action (CTA) is an image or line of text that prompts your visitors, leads, and customers to take action. It is a “call” to take an “action.” An example of a CTA is “click here”.
So What?
A call to action is important for a multitude of reasons. It is sometimes seen as the most important part of any marketing campaign. Not using CTAs or skipping them would be a grave mistake that wouldn’t do well for any company and we’ll tell you why.
Some examples of CTAs are:
- Sign-Up Now
- Register Here
- Subscribe
- Try Now
- Buy Now
- Share
- Follow
- Download Resource
- Learn More
- Get Started
A strong CTA can be the determining factor between a lead and a conversion. They are what push people further down the sales funnel and closer to a purchase. Without CTAs, customers can feel lost on what to do next when it comes to purchasing a product or service or even signing up for a newsletter. They tell the customer what to do next, pushing them to take immediate action. Whether you want them to give you contact information, download a lead magnet, or subscribe to an email list, you have to encourage this action with a strong CTA. It’s best practice to write CTAs in a way that highlights the benefits. For example, use “Get More Tips” instead of “Subscribe!”
