Mastering the Call to Action.



Digital Advertising in Maitland means nothing if you do not know ways to use your Call to Actions or (CTA's), because a Call to action may possibly be the easiest way for you to establish a lead. It can make or break depending upon 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 most you can to grow your brand and create those all-important leads.



Wording
Really easy, stay clear from generic words that are going to make you seem desperate or like you are pushing for a sale. For example, choosing between the words, 'buy' and 'shop' as a CTA, one might presume that they both mean the same thing. But you will have to understand that many people on the internet often avoid commitment, so subconsciously even there is a tendency for most people to think that the word 'buy' is closing them into something, whilst 'shop' is a way for them to find out more information and facts. The issue I am attempting to make is that you really should take into account the wording and avoid words that have unintentional results.

Shape and Colour
It may seem weird, but Shape and colour of your CTA can affect its success. In the world of Digital Advertising there have been a variety of studies into the notion of layout and its affect upon a customer's perception, and essentially one theory claims that curves are the best 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 square.

Now, colour, this is another area that there are a few theories on. Some people will have you think that green is great because it means 'go', but to stay away from red because it is 'stop', or that blue is calming so it would make people more relaxed ... Eventually there really isn't any conclusive evidence to suggest one option over another, so just go with what works best for your design. One point that I will point out though is that you should understand the font size and colour-- If you want your digital advertising to be most efficient in the Maitland area, it is a great 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 placed is quite vital to digital advertising success.
All that I mean by this is see to it 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 works for 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 simple and think about your client.
