Lots
of Traffic but No Action?
Your Website May Need
a Clear Call to Action
Is
your website getting good
traffic, but still not delivering good business? The problem could
be that you are simply not asking visitors to take
advantage
of what you have to offer. The truth is,
you have to tell visitors
what to do.
Consider a TV
commercial that tells you all about a wonderful product but does
not ask you
to call or visit their show room. Ridiculous, yes, but you will be
amazed how many sites do not have a call to action on each page.
Like a TV commercial
or even print ad, each page needs a title (preferably incorporating
a benefit to the reader), content or features in support of the benefit,
and a call to action at the end.
Examples of
calls to action:
| 1. |
Order [product
name] Now! |
| 2. |
Subscribe to
our Newsletter. |
| 3. |

relating to [enter

And of course, here
is our call to action…
