Call-to-action (CTA) is a marketing term used widely in advertising and sales. This refers to any device designed to respond immediately or drive direct sales. CTA most often refers to the use of words or phrases that can be incorporated into sales scripts, advertising messages or web pages that encourage consumers to take swift action.

Definisi
In marketing, the call to action (CTA) is an instruction to an audience designed to provoke a direct response, usually using imperative verbs like "contact now", "find out more" or "visit a store day this ". Other types of call-to-action may provide consumers with a strong reason to immediately purchase such offers that are only available for a limited time (for example, 'Offers must expire soon'; 'Limited inventory is available') or special agreements usually accompanied by time constraints (eg 'Message before midnight to receive a free gift with your order'; 'Two for the price of one for 50 first callers only'). The key to a strong call to action is to provide a convincing reason to the consumer to buy immediately rather than delaying the purchase decision. CTAs can be simple demanding requests like "choose color" or "watch this video", or a much more demanding request. A clear CTA will be a demand for consumers to purchase products or provide personal information and contact information.

Many marketing materials such as brochures, flyers, catalogs, email campaigns, also take advantage of calls to action. Such instructions are designed to show consumers how to take the next step and create a sense of urgency surrounding the offer.
Successful sales representatives have long known that certain words and phrases generated the desired response from prospects and soon learned to incorporate the best lines into effective sales scripts. Intelligent sales pitches often incorporate a small CTA series that leads to a final CTA. This smaller CTA creates a behavior pattern that allows the audience to follow up with only one last CTA, completing a more demanding request, if requested without context. An example is the purchase of a designer torch. Sales people may ask consumers to choose styles, then colors, sizes and even personalized carvings. When clients see a personalized design, they tend to tend to complete a purchase. Sales reps can close sales by asking, "Is it cash or credit, today?"
Advertising messages, especially direct response advertising messages, often use an extensive call-to-action. The key to a strong call to action is to provide a convincing reason to the consumer to buy immediately rather than delaying the purchase decision. An article in the Wall Street Journal shows that call-to-action events in television advertising are increasing due to marketers' desire for instant and measurable results.
In web design, a CTA can be a banner, button, or some type of graphic or text on a website intended to prompt the user to click on it, and continue the conversion funnel. This is an important part of incoming marketing as well as marketing permission as it actively seeks to turn users into prospects and then become customers. The main purpose of CTA is click, or scanning in the case of qr code, and its success can be measured by a conversion ratio formula that counts the number of clicks during which the CTA time is visible. Another way to test the effectiveness of CTA is to use A/B testing where multiple graphs are presented to users and graphs with the highest success rate being the default.
