“Click Here”. Marketing Sherpa has an interesting article that demonstrated just how effective these two magical words can be…

From Marketing Sherpa’s article:

We were using the words “Continue here …” as our call to action from our newsletters to the full articles on our Web site, but we hadn’t tested the phrase. Then, someone made the obvious suggestion: “Don’t you think you should test that?”

And the winner is…

  1. “Click to continue”: 8.53%
  2. “Continue to article”: 3.3%
  3. “Read more”: (-)1.8%

Just goes to show you: you’ll get better results if you tell them exactly what to do!
