Mastering the Call to Action


Digital Advertising in Nowra means nothing if you have no idea how you can use your Call to Actions or (CTA's), because a Call to action can possibly be the easiest way for you to make a lead. It can make or break relying on how weak or strong your CTA is, therefore I wish to give you a few tips to make sure that you are doing the most you can to grow your brand and produce those all-important 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 believe that they both mean the same thing. But you have to understand that many people online have the tendency to avoid commitment, and so subconsciously even there is a habit for people to think that the term 'buy' is locking them into something, whereas 'shop' is a way for them to find out more details. The issue I am attempting to make is that you really have to consider the wording and avoid words that have unforeseen effects.

Shape and Colour

It may seem peculiar, but Shape and colour of your CTA can affect its effectiveness. In the world of Digital Advertising there have been a number of research studies into the idea of style and its affect upon a customer's perception, and essentially one idea claims that curves are the most reliable way to go. So, if you want to try and optimise even more, think about making the button for your call to action curved, rather than a square.
Now, colour, this is yet another area that there are a few theories on. Some people will have you think that green is wonderful because it means '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 definitive evidence to suggest one option over every other, so just select what works best for your concept. One thing 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 efficient in the Nowra area, it is a good idea to try and make it different from the rest of your content, but don't go too ridiculous.

Location

Where your call to action is set 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 complicating the Call to action.

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