30 Call-to-Action Examples You Can't Help But Click

30 Call-to-Action Examples You Can't Help But Click | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Think about all the times you've signed up for things in your life. Did you once download Evernote? Dropbox? Spotify? Maybe you've even taken a class on General Assembly.

Each one of these signups is likely a result of an effective call-to-action.

And it's really important to guide your visitors through the buying journey using strategic calls-to-action (CTAs). Think about it: If you hadn't been drawn in by the copy or design of the CTA, or been guided so eloquently through your sign-up process, you would probably use a lot fewer apps and websites than you do now. 

Download our full collection of 101 call-to-action examples here for even more CTA ideas.

To help you identify what's effective and what's not, we've listed out 30 examples of CTAs that totally rock. These call-to-action examples are broken out into three categories: simple and effective design, click-worthy copy, and balancing multiple CTAs on one page....

Long Copy Ads Aren't Dead: Here Are 20 Inspirational Examples

Long Copy Ads Aren't Dead: Here Are 20 Inspirational Examples | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
Even online, long copy has proven its effectiveness. Groove's founder Alex Turnball grew conversions by 100% when he tested a long-form landing page, and CrazyEgg saw conversion rates improve by 30% when it tested a long copy landing page. 

With long copy, a brand can increase trust, break down the viewer's objections, and provide her with a better understanding of the product or solution. It gives your brand a chance to tell a more complete story, and in the process, more thoroughly convince the person that your brand is the best brand. 

The main objective is to maximize the impact of every word and phrase. People do not read bad copy, irrelevant copy, and plain boring copy.

Check out the below examples of long copy to become a more prolific copywriter

Does Your Spokescharacter Help Create A Memorable Story?

Does Your Spokescharacter Help Create A Memorable Story? | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
Fundamentally, advertising researchers retrieve brand memories from the mind of a consumer through two different ways—recall and recognition. It’s the difference between recalling a person’s name or recognizing the face of someone you met before. Of the two, recognition goes deeper, into the non-verbal, more primitive parts of the brain.

 

As it relates to spokescharacters, a recognizable one works to personify the brand, providing meaning and a stronger relationship with the brand in the mind of the consumer. For example, Tony the Tiger can evoke many more positive associations than simply reading, “Frosted Flakes.” Or, when trying to remember which cake mix to buy, visions of the cute little Dough Boy may be more quickly retrieved than the name, Pillsbury.

The question then becomes how can a brand effectively use a spokescharacter in advertising?

Spokescharacter as the brand personified:
Spokescharacters used to personify the brand embody the most important attributes for their brands. Their job is to primarily reinforce these attributes and give the brand a face to go along with the name.

Are you considering paying for social media adverts? Want to know the correct size graphics you should use for each network?


Organic social media reach can only get you so far (especially as social networks keep trying to reduce it). Creating posts that go viral every time is near impossible so if you have an sales offer or piece of content that you need to be shared, adverts may be a route you want to go down.


The guys at Bannersnack have included ad size dimensions for Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest and Google Plus in the infographic below....
