Mastering the Call to Action























Digital Advertising in Tamworth means nothing if you don't understand the best ways to use your Call to Actions or (CTA's), because a Call to action can be the easiest way for you to develop a lead. It can make or break relying on how weak or strong your CTA is, and so I really want to give you a few tips to make sure that you are doing the best you can to grow your brand and develop those necessary leads.

Wording











Really simple, stay clear from commonly used 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 both mean the same thing. But you will have to understand that many people on the internet tend to avoid commitment, therefore subconsciously even there is a propensity for the general public to think that the word 'buy' is closing them into something, while 'shop' is a way for them to find out more facts. The point I am trying to make is that you really have to think about the wording and avoid words that have unintended consequences.

Shape and Colour















It may seem unusual, but Shape and colour of your CTA can affect its effectiveness. In the world of Digital Advertising there have been a lot of research studies into the concept of style and its affect upon a person's perception, and essentially one theory 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 one more area that there are a few theories on. Some people would have you think that green is wonderful because it means 'go', but to stay away from red because it is 'stop', or that blue is calming so it will make people more relaxed ... Eventually there really isn't any clear evidence to suggest one option over every other, so just go with what works best for your layout. One point that I will mention though is that you should be aware of the font size and colour-- If you want your digital advertising to be most helpful in the Tamworth area, it is a good idea to try and make it different from the rest of your content, but don't go too crazy.

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 stashed in a corner somewhere, or that you have way too much text that is convoluting the Call to action.

Finally it all comes down to identifying the combination that helps you, remember your wording, shape, colour, size and positioning of your brand's Call To Action, and when you bring all the elements together just think basic and think about your consumer.
