Many people just need to recognize the benefits with a prominent message. You may add “Save 30% by acting now”, “Let your family enjoy a fantastic meal now”, “Get the perfect vacation with this wonderful package”.

- Use effective phrases
Active verbs perform better, so avoid using passive voice in the CTA. In addition, use straight-forward and simple words, like “Learn more”, “Subscribe now”, “Tell me more” etc. Some people may want to use “tricky” or “fancy” words in CTA that make them look cool, like “Jump to the world of romance”, or “Join me to feel it”.
