Are you leaving your prospective clients hanging or communicating what action you want them to take?
I frequently see social media posts or email campaigns that don’t clearly identify what action they want the reader to take. I am left feeling disappointed that the publisher of the post or email missed an opportunity. Something about a social media post caught my eye… but then didn’t provide a link for me to read more on their website. Or, an email has ten different articles and events listed, so I was left confused on what the main objective of the communication was. Too many options will often result in your reader not taking any action.
And the MOST egregious example, I make my way to an article on your website to find no call to action at the end! You got me all the way to your site, enjoying your content, and then didn’t take advantage of my interest by asking me to sign up, follow you, or contact you. Yikes.
It is important to always clearly define what action you want your audience to take before you develop your content.
Do you...
Want to increase followers on social media?
Have them sign up for your email newsletter?
Make an appointment for a consultation?
ASK THEM TO TAKE THIS ACTION. Make it clear and easy for them to take action and follow you down the path to becoming your client.
