in #steempress6 years ago

You might be thinking that starting an ecommerce business is quite simple. You only have to set up a website, provide goods, and let the customers make the purchases. In actual fact, extra efforts are required to convince your customers to make some deals with your business, unless you have a huge and well-off brand that many people across the world are familiar with. To convince them, you need to make them aware of your brand’s importance, hence Calls to Action (CTAs) is really crucial to serve the purpose in your digital marketing business strategy. Let’s dig deeper into the matter by reading this marketing info.

What is a CTA?

A call to action (CTA) is an element that will provoke your intended customers to take the desired actions through imperative words such as ‘Let’s Find Out More!’, ‘Call Now!’, ‘Visit Our Website to Get Special Offers’, and so on. The point is your CTAs should be able to convey the perks of using your products or services so the customers are willing to trust your business. CTAs have two parts; the button for link and the copy for a line of text. A CTA can also be considered as the logical conclusion to the body copy where you are expected to solve your customers’ pain points and lead them to heed your CTA.

 

The Impact of CTAs on Content Performance

The success of your digital marketing content is seen through the amount of clicks, shares, likes, and generated leads. With the combination of compelling CTAs and great content, your customers will not hesitate to subscribe, view, or purchase your offerings. On the other hand, if the CTAs cannot entice the customers, do not expect to gain any profitable results. Therefore, your ecommerce content should contain enticing CTAs that will affect the decision makers.   

 

Consider These Aspects for Great CTAs

Aside from doing A/B Testing, you have to consider several key elements that will make your CTAs provoke desired response from your customers. The said elements are:

 

Wording: When it comes to wording, you have to choose a verb that will urge your customers to take the actions. If you come with several imperative verbs for the CTA, try using A/B testing to determine which one is impactful for your online store.

 

Size and Shape: Just because you want the CTAs to get noticed easily by your customers, does not mean you have to go with a distracting size and shape. Consider the right size which is not too large and avoid too much clutter by giving some white space.

 

Placement: The placement of your CTA is depending on the landing page’s goals, audience intent, and the complexity of the offers. So take these points into account as your guide to utilizing the proper CTAs.  

 

Color: Try choosing a catchy and standout color. You can also do the testing to figure out which one works great for you.
