All projects (in this case those related to web and digital marketing) are made to achieve certain objectives, and within marketing and copywriting strategies, call-to-action plays a key role.
A call-to-action or call to action looks for users to take an action: register, buy, test a product, read more, conversion in general. It usually involves clicking on a button to perform the conversion and this button is found in different parts of the website: in a landing page it’s usually at the beginning, middle and/or end, side modules, headings, ads or pop-ups.
The plugins that we suggest are based on inbound marketing strategies to get more leads, which is basically to offer the user the option of making a conversion without being intrusive. Remember that you must plan the execution of these messages to be coherent with the objectives of your website or brand.
