Mastering the Call to Action

Digital Advertising Ballarat

Digital Advertising in Ballarat means nothing if you don't understand ways to use your Call to Actions or (CTA's), because a Call to action may possibly be the easiest way for you to produce a lead. It can make or break depending upon how weak or strong your CTA is, and so I wish to give you a few tips to make sure that you are doing the best you can to grow your brand and create those all-important leads.


Wording
Really simple, stay clear from generic words that are going to make you seem desperate or like you are pushing for a sale. For example, selecting between the words, 'buy' and 'shop' as a CTA, one might assume that they each mean the same thing. But you must understand that lots of people on the web tend to avoid commitment, so subconsciously even there is a inclination for people to think that the phrase 'buy' is locking them into something, whilst 'shop' is a way for them to discover more information. The point I am attempting to make is that you really should think of the wording and avoid words that have unintended consequences.

Shape and Colour
It may seem odd, but Shape and colour of your CTA can affect its success. In the world of Digital Advertising there have been a variety of reports into the concept of style and its affect upon a person's perception, and essentially one idea claims that curves are the most suitable way to go. So, if you want 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 a further area that there are a few theories on. Some people will have you think that green is great because it indicates 'go', but to stay away from red because it is 'stop', or that blue is calming so it will make customers 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 layout. One point that I will mention though is that you should know the font size and colour-- If you want your digital advertising to be most efficient in the Ballarat area, it is a good idea to try and make it different from the rest of your content, but don't go too wild.

Location

Where your call to action is set is quite vital to digital advertising results.

All that I mean by this is ensure that you don't have it tucked away in a corner 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 simple and think about your customer.

Enhancing your Online Sales with good CTA's.
