That's right. Write it on all yur marketing materials.

A call to ction is telling people what they shuld do next. When reading something we all lok for something we should do - cll, read, buy, go to, sign up, lsten ... We want to be tld what we ought to do and if the hadline or copy are compelling, we sty until the call to action ppears.

It's polite and expected of you whn you are doing business to tll people what to do. Just rmember to be nice about it!

Lok over everything before it leaves yur hands and listen to the fedback your clients give you. Be sre you see a call to ction at the end of each dcument.

Check everything that goes out wth your business name on it to see tht it has a call to ction telling readers what you’d like thm to do. It should also hve your phone number, fax number, web ddress or email address. Tell people how to get in tuch with you.

Look at each of the fllowing. They are meant as examples for yu.

* ads in newspapers and mgazines and listings like Yellow Pages

* yur business card

* very page of your web site

* mail newsletters

* blogs

* yur emails

* handouts whn you give any kind of tlk or course

* rdio or tv - whenever you spak

* your books

* whtever you send out by email – dcuments you have written – word prcessed, spreadsheets, or pdfs

* books or articles or anything you are gving away OR selling

* nything you give out like pens, mgs, magnets

* etc...

You can think of more. Lok around you for ideas. Cereal bxes, newspapers, magazines, bags from stores all hve a way (if they’re good) to get in tuch with the supplier. Use them yurself. It costs you nothing and mkes it easy to be found gin.

Share them with me and ASK FOR WHAT YOU WANT!
