Effective Call To Actions Help Increase Conversions

Tuesday, November 03, 2009
There are so many different aspects and fundamental elements that need to be in place for a website to be prosperous.  With so many different, yet important elements that make up a successful website, I wanted to talk to you a little bit about Call To Actions (CTA).  While an intriguing design, a lot of relevant and up-to-date content, visibility, a user friendly layout, and accessibility are all very important, I wanted to share the magnitude of creative and captivating call to actions.  

Call to actions come in many different forms, shapes, sizes, and categories.  Depending on the site, your call to action will vary.  For the sake of time and your interest, I’m not going to cover the 23482 different types of websites in this post.  Today, I want to talk about a general type of call to action… the “contact us” CTA.  

Let’s assume that your business offers a service on their website and to inquire about the service, you require a user to contact you through the contact form.  What are some creative and effective ways of doing that without using the general “Contact us now”?

Incentive.  People love incentives for doing things. If a user is going to click on a link, why not entice them by dangling a fresh and juicy 10% off our service coupon?

For example, “Get 10% off!  Hurry and contact us now!” – This could give users that extra little push to inquire about your services.  Now you can use any type of incentive model, but you get the idea.

CTA’s can go as far as your creative imagination can take you.  Try to remember to use action words in your CTA.  Here is a list of some basic CTA’s that I recommend spicing up a bit, but they are a good start:
  1. Click Here
  2. Call Now
  3. Buy today 
  4. Register Now
  5. Free shipping 
  6. Contact now 
  7. Get a free trial
  8. Buy now 
  9. Sign-up now 
  10. Free Consultation 
  11. Reserve Now 
  12. Request for Free Quote 
  13. Talk to an Expert

From Our Customers
We have been very happy working with Bernie and the crew at SMT. We feel that they have been worth the additional money and the return on investment far outweighs any other form of advertisement that we do.
 
We also find that the quality of client generated from the web marketing is more desirable as they seem to be more educated.
 
The other benefit is the flexibility. The financial commitment of the long term contracts of the yellow pages verses the dynamic marketing of the web is far more desirable. We can change our web presence month to month depending on our client load, instead of being locked into an expensive year long contract. For half to a third of the monthly yellow page expense we can generate the same, if not more, amount of leads. We have actually reduced our yellow page presence by 70% and will continue to do so over the next few years.
 
We have used other marketing companies in the past, but have never had the results that we have with SMT. Their response time is excellent, their expertise is phenomenal, their design team is exceptional and after working with them for the last ten years it has become almost effortless. They know what we need and want prior to us asking and we will only use SMT as long as we are in business.
