- For an online e-commerce platform an ‘Add to Cart<\/strong>‘ is sensible for customer purchase for a product available online. If however, you have multiple products displayed, a ‘Buy Now<\/strong>‘ makes more sense than an ‘Add to Cart’.<\/li>\n
- If your aim is to increase registrations for a program, you can also offer a ‘10 Day Free Trial<\/strong>‘ to test if sampling works<\/li>\n
- You can have an ‘Enroll Now<\/strong>‘ for a webinar followed by a ‘Sign Up Now<\/strong>‘ option giving the visitor an option to still enroll for the webinar without signing up. A ‘Sign Up’ is a direct call-to-action.<\/li>\n
- If the purpose of your website is to disseminate information or has a brochure interface, a ‘Learn More<\/strong>‘ or a ‘Download Now<\/strong>‘ (for a guide or manual) is a good call-to-action to have, followed then by a ‘Sign Up<\/strong>‘ if your aim is to garner leads form it.<\/li>\n
- In case your service or product has an offline deliverable, a call-to-action like a ‘Book My Seat<\/strong>‘ for an event \/ concert is apt. The online action creates a desired offline experience.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

- Analyse the devices your traffic is coming from: If your website has traffic from mobile devices, it could be useful to have a call-to-action like ‘Call Now<\/strong>‘ or ‘Give a Missed Call<\/strong>‘. If a lot of your traffic is from social media, it’s good to have a ‘Share<\/strong>‘ icon for your visitors to share your program or event for others to see.<\/li>\n
- Customise Calls-to-action based on where your traffic is coming from: Experiment with different variations of calls-to-action from different landing pages. For example, at a Checkout page, a ‘Add Combo<\/strong>‘ or ‘Frequently Seen Together<\/strong>‘ call-to-action gives your customer an option to add another product\/ products. After the transaction is complete, you can have a ‘See Similar Products’ or ‘Also Buy’ call-to-action so your customer can browse more of your products rather than exiting the page when the transaction is complete.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
