Design

When designing your call to action make it large enough to stand out from other elements but that it does not appear overly aggressive. Also, be sure to use contrasting colors that fit with the overall design of your website. You can head over to paletton.com and test various color schemes. Additionally, you can use images or vector art to make your CTA more attractive and gain more attention.

Content

When crafting your CTA make sure it is clear and concise. The reader should clearly know what to expect when they click on your CTA. Remember that less is more when designing your CTA. You want to strive to use as few words as possible while clearly articulating the benefits. Whitespace is also an important element when designing any sort of call to action. Remember crowded text makes the CTA more difficult to see, so readers may pass over it.

Definitely mix it up a little and add phrases to your liking.

Always be testing!

From John Caples Tested Advertising Methods:

ACTION– that’s the vital quality that emotional copy possesses and that “reason why” copy lacks.  “Reason why” copy appeals to the the readers’ intelligence and makes them nod their heads in agreement with you. But emotional copy goes deeper. It gets into those portions of the brain where love and hate and fear and desire are. Both types of copy are important. Skillfully combine the two and you will make the readers get up out of their chairs and start for the store.

Urge the Reader to Act – Do not leave them hanging in midair.  Tell them what to do. If you can give them a definite reason for immediate action, such as “Price is going up” or “Supply will soon be exhausted,” so much the better.

Let's get to work!
