A call to action button can be placed anywhere. It can be on the top so that user sees it easily, at the bottom, in between the posts.

Best practices for effective call to action

Creating an effective call to action can help your business grow rapidly. If you are doing it for the first time, there are chances that you might not be able to create an effective call to action unless you follow the pointers below

Catchy Design

We need to make sure that call to action button, is catchy and is something which catches the attention of user for sure. We would also need to have a look at how call to action button design would match with the interface of the website, so that it does not look something spamy or fishy

  Use of words

While designing a click to action it is in necessary to make sure that you just don’t write click here or submit now. Use phrases or words that catch people’s attention. You might use something like” Gateway to Grow your followers: Grab a copy for free” or “Grow your followers with one click: Grab a copy now” instead of simple words like click here, download pdf.

Also make sure, the language is simple as well, instead of using jargons, make it something that is easy for user to understand.

Value Proposition

Your user or prospect should know exactly when what would happen, when he clicks on your call to action. He should not be misguided or else you might just lose your prospect. You would need to make sure that, value proposition is covered under it.

 Relevance

The content should be relevant to your call to action. The users, would be coming through various mediums like search engines, social media etc. because of your content and if they find that call to action which can help solve the problem is not related to the content, they would be annoyed and you won’t get business. For example, your content relates to publicising an e-book, but you take them to selling your product or service then it’s going to be very difficult for you to take the prospect to the next stage of buyer journey.
