3 CTA Mistakes You Need to Avoid

A call-to-action (CTA) is a crucial element in marketing that will help to draw audience in and point them in the direction you want them to take. It’s the gatekeeper of your destination page, the determining factor between a lead and a conversion. Writing a strong CTA is not a hard nut to crack as long as you know the common no-no’s. Let’s take a look at some of CTA mistakes you need to avoid, as well as how you can fix them.

Give your audience the answer to the question “what’s in it for me?” by taking the desired action. Make sure you emphasize the incentive that will provide value to their lives. By clearly communicating the benefit to the audience, you can create a more compelling CTA that encourages them to take action and drives conversions.

An easy way to make the message more personal is to opt for second-person POV, like “you” or “your”. This helps to encourage a connection and make the audience feel less detached as if we’re talking directly to them. Writing the action from second-person POV helps the audience to envision getting the thing they want.

Although “sign up” requires the step of filling out the form basically but it sounds easier for the audience. Your CTA should imply that taking the action is simple and give no hassle. By using language that suggests the action is easy to carry out, you can reduce any doubt the audience may have.

Every CTA offers an opportunity for a conversion. By steering clear of these mistakes, you will be seeing an increase in the number of clicks in no time.
