Increase Response with Calls-to-Action - Tips (Page 3 of 4 ) While any phrase that targets immediate action on the part of the prospect can be considered a call-to-action phrase, a few tips on how to execute them can help enhance the strategy further. Contact information – Always provide the prospect with your contact information along with the call-to-action phrase. There is no point getting the prospect all excited and ready to take action, without providing the next step of how to take that action. In fact, instead of simply providing a link to the home page of the website, add phone numbers, fax numbers, e-mail addresses, snail mail addresses and other such contact information. This helps in preventing any hurdles that the prospect might face in his or her attempt to contact the seller. Immediate action – The call-to-action strategy thrives on immediacy. If given unlimited time to think and rethink, it is unlikely that the prospect will purchase the item. Therefore, it is mandatory for the success of a call-to-action strategy that a sense of immediacy be instilled in the prospect. So, a very important tip to be kept in mind is ensuring that the call-to-action phrase overwhelms the prospect with a sense of immediacy. Give examples – When urging the prospect to purchase a particular product by using call-to-action phrases, support them with examples. So begin by using the call-to-action phrase "buy now" and follow up with the example "and you will find that your kitchen no longer smells bad." Testimonials of other clients will also go a long way in backing up the call-to-action phrase. Novelty – Words like "never before" and "completely new" are a great way to capture the prospect’s attention before finally introducing the call-to-action phrase. So telling your prospect to "buy now" and avail themselves of this "never before discount offer" will go a long way in increasing converts.
