CTA Copywriting Tips

As a marketer, CTAs are relevant because they encourage your audience to take action on a marketing campaign.

 

Below are a few examples of the types of CTAs you might use in marketing materials:

  • Try for free. Nearly every company website has a free trial offer today. Each of them are CTAs of this variety, and they allow people to demo a product before deciding if it's worth the cost to them.
  • Learn more. Sometimes, all you want is to give your potential customers a little more information so they're prepared to buy something. That's what this CTA is for.
  • Join us. Do you manage an online community? Is your product built on collaboration between users? You might find yourself placing "join us" CTA somewhere on your website.

What are your favorite phrases to use when pointing to different products or content offers?

CTA Copywriting Tips

  1. Use Action-Oriented Verbs: Start your CTA with a verb that encourages action, such as "Download," "Subscribe," "Join," "Discover," or "Start." This prompts the user to take the next step.

  2. Create a Sense of Urgency: Use time-sensitive language to make your audience feel they need to act now. Phrases like "Offer ends soon," "Limited time," or "Act now" can increase the click-through rate.

  3. Be Specific About the Benefit: Clearly state what the user will get by taking action. For instance, "Get Your Free Ebook" is more compelling than just "Download."

  4. Keep it Short and Sweet: A CTA should be concise and to the point. Aim for no more than five to seven words to keep the message clear and impactful.

When crafting call-to-action (CTA) copy, keep it concise, action-oriented, and aligned with your message. Use compelling language that prompts immediate action, and make the CTA stand out visually. Test different variations through A/B testing to find the most effective wording. Ensure clarity and relevance to the offer, and consider creating a sense of urgency or exclusivity to encourage conversions.

  1. "Shop Now"
  2. "Sign Up for Free"
  3. "Get Started Today"
  4. "Subscribe for Exclusive Offers"
  5. "Try Our Demo"
  6. "Claim Your Discount"
  7. "Join the Community"
  8. "Learn More"
  9. "Download Your Ebook"
  10. "Start Your Trial"

These examples showcase the importance of clear and action-oriented language tailored to the specific context and goal of the CTA.
