How to Use CTAs to Boost Your Marketing Materials

There are a lot of elements to effective marketing—memorable branding, a compelling message, quality visuals—but none are more important than the simple call to action (CTA). Let’s talk about what makes CTAs the conversion-driving heroes of your marketing efforts and how you can use them to enhance your rate of success.

What are CTAs, and why are they important?

Shop Now. Read More. Sign Up. Register Here. These classic CTA examples all have one thing in common: They tell the viewer your marketing message and what to do next, while making it easy to comply. The presence or absence of a strong CTA—and whether or not it’s a compelling CTA—can make or break the success of any marketing piece, no matter how clever or appealing the concept.

So, how can you effectively use CTAs to boost your marketing materials?

  1. Be clear and concise: Clarity is paramount in CTAs. The most effective CTAs are simple, straightforward and easy to understand. Overcomplicating your message can confuse your audience, reducing the likelihood of them taking the desired action. Use direct language, and ensure your CTA aligns with your overall marketing message.
     
  2. Stand out: Your CTA needs to capture attention. Use bold colors, larger fonts or unique placement to draw attention to your CTA. If it blends into the background, it's likely to be overlooked. A well-placed, well-designed CTA can significantly enhance the overall effectiveness of your marketing materials.
     
  3. Create urgency: Encourage your audience to act now rather than later. Phrases like "Limited Time Offer" or "Register Now" can instill a sense of urgency, prompting immediate action.
     
  4. Ease of action: The path to action should be as simple as possible. The fewer barriers between your audience and the action you want them to take, the better. Make sure your CTA leads directly to a simple, user-friendly landing page. If it's complicated or time-consuming, potential customers may abandon the process.
     
  5. Test (and test again) and refine: Not all CTAs will work for all audiences. Use A/B testing to determine which CTAs are most effective for your target audience. Adjust and refine your CTAs based on the data you collect to ensure they're as effective as possible.
     
  6. Incorporate storytelling: A compelling story leading up to the CTA can make it more effective. Your CTA should be the culmination of your story, guiding your audience to the desired action.
     
  7. CTAs in every piece of content: Every piece of content you create should contain a CTA. Think of content without a CTA as a missed opportunity to engage with your audience and accomplish your goals.
     
  8. Consider CTA wording: Experiment with different language and messaging in your CTAs. Think of your CTA as an "I want to" button. The wording should be clear, compelling and easy for your audience to understand.

In the grand scheme of marketing, CTAs might seem like a small detail, but their impact on your marketing success can’t be understated. Make them an important part of your marketing strategy and include them in every deliverable to see your success skyrocket. 
 

Ready to get bold? Explore the possibilities with us.

In today’s fast-paced world, perception is reality. On average, you only have a mere 7 seconds to capture someone’s attention through any marketing tactic. According to the Harvard Business Review, your long-term success depends on winning the attention of others. What sets most successful businesses apart is an ability to capture others’ attention visually and through the written word. These businesses understand that if no one is paying attention to them in a meaningful way, no one will invest in their products or services. Steve Rubel, chief content strategist at Edelman (one of the world’s leading global communications firms), says it best. “Attention is the most important currency that anybody can give you,” he says. “It’s worth more than money, possessions or things.”

So, we ask, what perception are you giving your clients or customers? Are you taking your marketing seriously? Have you paid real attention to your message and look? Does your marketing make an impact?
