Question:
“Do you have suggestions for best practices for using calls to action?”
Answer:
“You want to make sure that your calls to action are at the top of your webpages, at the top of your emails. That they are visual and that they are easy to see. I often get on small business websites with particular colors. When you land website, where is your eye drawn? It should not be drawn anywhere but to the call to action. That’s the most important thing on your website or in your email. Everything else is just an accessory to that call to action.”
