Ecommerce call to action top tips

  • Wording – Probably one of the most important aspects of any Call to Action is the words you use. If it isn’t clear or doesn’t sell itself a customer will either ignore it or wont feel confident enough to click it. Remember “call to actions” are there to help the customer to make the decision and buy and to also tempt them. The easiest way to temp a customer to click the call to action is to add some urgency that is related to the product and purchasing it. Things like how much it was, or sales, limited time offers are all great ways to tip the customers over the edge and buy.
  • Size & Positioning – If your call to action is small and tucked away at the bottom of the product page or banner where no-one can find surprisingly enough it wont get sales. Make the buttons dominant, large and obvious to the client so once they are done looking at the product they know exactly where to click to buy the product. Remember not to dwarf your products information an images with a massive “BUY NOW” button, you want it to be obvious, not in your face. You also need to be aware that many people expect the “add to basket” button to be near the price to this is often the best place to position your call to actions.
  • Space and multiple call to actions – If for any reason you require multiple call to actions to be situated near one another it is important to firstly work out the hierarchy of the call to actions. Whichever is more important make stand out more and dominate the other. You must also make sure to give your call to actions some room to breath. Lots of space around it makes it stand out more and keeps it from being lost amoung images and text.
