What is a Call to Action:
A Call to Action, also known as a "CTA," is a phrase used in your social media posts, oftentimes at the end of your copy, to tell your reader what step to take next. Whether it's a prompt to comment or to subscribe to your newsletter, CTAs are an important element to your social media marketing strategy!
Why CTAs are Important
Using Calls to Action has many benefits such as increasing social media engagement, newsletter subscriptions, and sales. Posting without Calls to Action is like leading your followers down a dead end. You've gained their attention, taken them on a journey, but they can't follow you any further if they don't know where to go next!
Why Just Any ol' CTA Won't Work:
You don't want just any call to action. You need a STRONG one that motivates people to act! It's not just about telling people what to do next; it's also telling them WHY. Sometimes the "why" is answered in your content before the CTA, but if not, be sure to answer it in your CTA or even give a recap if the "why" was previously mentioned.
The "why" is the motivation that gets people to act. It's what makes your CTA all the more powerful! Without it, you won't see the type of response (conversion rates) that you should. You put a lot of effort in creating your posts. Let's make sure they're effective!
