Mastering the Call to Action


Digital Advertising in Geelong means nothing if you don't understand the best ways to use your Call to Actions or (CTA's), because a Call to action may be the easiest way for you to produce a lead. It can make or break depending upon how weak or strong your CTA is, therefore 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 web often avoid commitment, so subconsciously even there is a habit for most people to think that the phrase 'buy' is closing them into something, while 'shop' is a way for them to find out more information. The issue I am aiming to make is that you really have to consider the wording and avoid words that have unexpected results.

Shape and Colour
It may seem weird, but Shape and colour of your CTA can affect its effectiveness. In the world of Digital Advertising there have been a variety of studies into the notion of design 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 intend to try and optimise even further, think about making the button for your call to action curved, rather than a rectangle.

Now, colour, this is 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 would make people more relaxed ... In the end there really isn't any definitive evidence to suggest one option over every other, so just choose what works best for your layout. One thing that I will touch on though is that you should take note of the font size and colour-- If you want your digital advertising to be most efficient in the Geelong area, it is a smart idea to try and keep it different from the rest of your content, but don't go too crazy.

Location

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

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

Finally it all comes down to identifying the combination that helps 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 client.
