CTA Framework
Clear > Clever
The CTA Framework is a structured approach to creating effective calls-to-action in advertisements. It emphasizes the importance of clarity over cleverness and provides a step-by-step guide to crafting CTAs that drive conversions. The framework consists of telling the audience what to do, how to do it, when to do it, what they get for doing it, and what happens next. Additionally, it suggests demonstrating the next steps visually to increase congruence and conversion rates.
