In online marketing, a call to action (CTA) is a method used to encourage web users to take an action. You will have come across these as “Buy It Now” or “Sign Up” buttons, usually in bright colours and bold text – they are designed to urge customers towards conversion. CTA buttons are regarded as more successful and persuasive if they stress urgency and address the individual web user.
Why use CTAs?
Call to action messages are most often used whenever a marketer desires a web user to complete a certain action. They can be used in emails, on social media, on web pages, or when a user is proceeding through the checkout.
