What’s Your Call to Action?

Every marketing piece should have a call to action that helps direct the reader to the next step. Whether you want them to click a link, download a file, or contact your business, here are a few tips to ensure your call to action gets noticed and utilized:
  • Keep it short and simple using action verbs, such as call, buy, register, donate, or subscribe.

  • Be specific about what you want readers to do. For example, if you want customers to contact you to set up an appointment, don't just say "contact us."

  • Make it easy for readers by using a direct shortcut link to your sign-up page or order form, versus sending them on a wild goose chase through your website.

  • Create urgency with a deadline such as "offer expires May 31" or "order now and get a free gift!"

  • Include a benefit for contacting you. Instead of saying "Download our whitepaper," say "Expand your customer base with these 10 tips."

  • Popularity sells. If your information is high demand, consider including the number of times a document has been downloaded.

  • Build trust by including customer logos or relevant testimonials near your call to action.

  • Provide your call to action multiple times throughout your website or marketing materials.

  • Size and location matter. Make sure your call to action is easily visible and prominently located so readers don't miss it.

Why Custom Notepads are a Perfect Promotional Tool

Want to give your business a gift that keeps giving? You can do this by giving gifts to other people. According to the ACI 2019 Impressions study , promotional products bring some of the highest rates of return on advertising, trumping all other forms of media. Consumers surveyed said they were nearly 2.5 times more likely to have a favorable opinion of promotional products compared to online advertising, and consumers under 55 preferred a promotional product message over EVERY other advertising medium (including print, online, or traditional mass media).

Grow Creativity with the Brainstorming Strategies of Walt Disney

From Tarzan's treehouse to the Magic Carpets of Aladdin, Disney's creative team has spent decades constructing fantasy lands depicted in Disney movies. Bringing dreams to life is Disney's business, and its empire spans 11 theme parks, a town, four cruise ships, dozens of hotels, and many waterparks and restaurants that help guests experience the happiest place on Earth. The dreamers, or "Imagineers" at Disney are the brains behind the vision. Peter Rummell, who served as chairman of the Imagineers for 12 years, said creativity doesn't just happen . It has to be engineered: "It is a process and if you don't understand that and if you sit around and wait for the lightning bolt, you're not going to be very productive." Walt Disney himself was a master of creative thinking and brainstorming. Not only was he talented in discovering ideas, he knew how to convert possibilities into reality.
