Let’s get into today’s edition:

The right call-to-action (CTA) can turn a curious reader into a customer—here’s how to make yours impossible to ignore.

Key Insights

1. Be Specific, Not Vague: “Get Started in 60 Seconds” beats “Learn More” every time. Clear, action-driven CTAs set expectations and boost conversions.

2. Create Urgency: Scarcity sells. Phrases like “Limited Spots Left” or “Last Chance to Save” add urgency and push readers to act.

3. Match the CTA to the Context: Your CTA should align with the ad’s message. A soft sell (“Explore More”) works for awareness, while a hard sell (“Buy Now”) drives immediate action.

Case Study

Netflix’s CTA Game Changer: Netflix A/B tested two CTA variations: “Start Your Free Trial” vs. “Join Free for a Month.” The second version led to a 20% increase in sign-ups because it emphasized a risk-free, time-bound offer.

Expert Tip

Test multiple CTA variations to find what resonates. Even small tweaks—like swapping ‘Sign Up’ for ‘Get Started’—can drive higher engagement.
