Is Your Marketing Missing This Crucial Element?

There are many elements that make up great copy and marketing whether it’s online, radio, TV or print. However most marketing communication lacks a call-to-action and without it, chances are, it looks great, sounds great but you’re wasting your money.

Why? Because they lack a ‘call-to-action’

Okay, so what’s a ‘call-to-action?’

A call to action is copy, an image or verbal message that directs and motivates your audience to take a form of action you want them to take then and there.

So as countless clients always say to me I love the call to action you wrote Eddie and copywriting cadets ask me how to write stronger calls to actions for their own businesses, here are a few call-to-actions you can test for yourself on sales letters, print ads, radio ads and your website to help increase your conversion rates.

8)   Use words and phrases in your call-to-action to motivate instant action such as: FREE, Register, Call, Buy, Subscribe, Donate, Join Now, Hurry, Limited offer, Order now, Don’t Delay, Don’t miss out

9)   Have a call-to-action on each page of your website/catalogue or magazine – make it easy for people to order and feel free to mix up your call-to-action on each page. If you have more than one call-to-action, try mixing them up a little, they don’t have to be all the same wording.
