Call to Action Buttons that Attract Users and Compel them to Act

No matter whatever online activity you do; be it attending webinars, downloading e-books, getting free trials or filling any contact form; all of these will be of no use if your users don’t click and get converted.

It doesn’t make any difference if no one clicks your Call to Action. There’s of no use of such websites that have great content but very few customers. You must have both good content as well as good traffic.

So, before creating the appealing Call to Action buttons; make sure to keep these things in mind:

1. Colour is not everything: When it comes to choose the colour for Call to Action buttons we can say that there are no such hard and fast rules however the colour should be selected keeping in mind the specific message that is to be delivered.

   While choosing colours for your CTA; it is necessary to choose a colour which stands out and looks something different. We can say that colour is not the only thing on which everything depends.

   It can be optimized in a way that it can be used to motivate target audience. This is true for every Call to Action element that you are optimizing. Forget viewing it as an independent factor instead it must be related as a part of the larger picture, the one that is personalized, targeted and proven effective for a specific target audience.

2. Use clickable Buttons: Various web designers have a tendency to over design any website. Here, the rule of KISS that is Keep It Simple and Stupid is widely useful. This principle proves its worth when you wish to optimize your websites.

   Simple Call to Action buttons are more effective as compared to that of Fancy ones.

   

   This can be proved when you test the buttons using A/B Test.

   So, always choose buttons with a simple clear design having contrasting and attractive colours.

3. Include Urgency: Compel users to take action on that particular moment itself. This can be done by creating time based urgency like as adding time sensitivity to your messaging. This theory was very well tested by a well known IT firm.

   The impact of time based urgency can be easily useful with the help of A/B testing and the conclusion says that advertisements having urgency are likely to get more clicks as compared to that where urgency is absent.

   Urgency is the concept that is widely used by well known websites like as Amazon.

   • Follow up Call to action can be used at the bottom: While writing a blog post; add a required call to action at the bottom of the post. Avoid using side bars for placing your CTA button.
   • Be clear about your offer: Let’s say your website has an offer “Download eBook for free”. Now, why will people download this eBook? What benefit will they get? What is the type of information they want to offer to the visitors?

     Website visitors might have questions like what is the need of downloading the eBook. How it will be useful for me? What is included in the eBook? Will this be useful in any way to the visitors?
