Today’s Insight

📰 TL;DR - It’s time to reevaluate your call-to-action strategy. Newsletter Marketing Ideas argues that it’s not just about the text on your button or hyperlink but the journey it leads users to.

The main idea being: invest time in creating a unique flow for CTA-driven users – a bare-bones version of your product where users can get a taste without any friction.

💡 Insight - First, the actual CTA. How is your button or hyperlink worded? The best CTAs shorten the user’s journey to an “aha!” moment. Some examples: Try it yourself, See it in action, Try a demo.

It’s a common trap that value-oriented CTAs, ones that mention the benefit of the product, can boost conversions. But don’t overcomplicate the action and risk intimidating consumers. Make it simple: get users to that “aha!” moment fast.

Where does your CTA go? Invest time into this part of the user journey and build a playground for your soon-to-be users. If a prospective user has to sign-up first to see the value of your product, you risk losing them. Remove friction at every step and excite prospective customers to take the next step.
