You also need to make it feel important, even urgent that they do so.
Calls to action are the vital link between your marketing campaigns and your conversion rates. You may already have them, but are they effective, and are they placed where they are needed most? Here are 3 easy tips to help you write, and evaluate effective calls to action.
While some of these tips seem obvious, ask yourself, am I really accomplishing this throughout my cross-channel digital marketing efforts in Trinidad and Tobago?
Phrasing
The way you phrase your CTA is going to have a huge impact on whether or not people act. Simply saying contact us for more details isn't exactly going to promote quick and certain action. You need to inspire.
Inspiration: The best way is to use action words, or verbs to prompt action. Keep the call simple and to the point.
Rather than using the standard version noted above, try:
Expand your knowledge with this button!
Click here to achieve your dream
Join the crowd that's a part of the action
If you have an online retail site and want people to select items, add to cart is fine, but consider having some fun if it works for your consumer.
adopt me now
I want you
yes, you're mine
You don't have to be outside the box, you can also simply make your CTA clear regarding what's next. Your customer should know immediately what they are doing and where that click will take them.
Add me to your list
Begin registration
Whatever your call, make sure it suits your offering and your target consumer. The join the crowd example above really only works on people who are looking to be up- to -date and are considering a purchase of something hot, or trendy. Brainstorm, listen to how your customer base speaks, and incorporate their style and wishes into your CTA.
Make the action easy and fun
Your phone number, link, or button should be highly visible.. if they can't see it, it's not going to help. Better yet, make it interesting. It may sound silly, but it's more fun to click on a large, colorful button with fun wording than it is to click a boring link, or bland click here button.
Create urgency
Don't let your customers slip away because they put off investigating further. Let them know they are missing out if they don't follow through. Often, letting them know that they are one of the few who haven't gotten in on what you have to offer, provides good incentive. If you have honest statistics showing that a large number of people are happily engaged with you, then by all means use that information in your call.
Guidelines for mobile
If you are hoping to reel in folks through mobile calls to action. People responding to SMS or mobile email CTA's face time and visibility obstacles.
Make it mobile friendly. Provide a mobile optimized website. Think about providing multiple entry points, such as a QR code, and a non-app URL along with a mobile app downlink.
Don't be too mysterious: Rather than simply telling them to scan a QR code, tell them what they will get if they do. Remember, it doesn't always have to have a monetary value, the reward could be information or ideas.
Avoid any potential user error. Make certain QR codes are placed where there's good cell service. Don't use overly complicated website links, or calls with easily misinterpreted characters.
Test your new CTA's, trying out different versions to see what pulls in more response. Don't give up, deliver consistent messaging at regular intervals.
The key to engaging people isn't simply having the best to offer, it's inspiring them to interact, learn more about you, and hopefully to become loyal customers. That isn't going to happen if your digital marketing in Trinidad and Tobago has no real incentive to connect or take action. Creating an inspiring call to action has more power than you'd think.
