Fundraising is all about action. That's true in all media, but it's probably most urgently true online. It's action now, or nothing will happen.
Here's a helpful post from the Classy Blog, at 6 Tips for Effective CTAs That Get Clicks:
- Balance Creativity and Practicality. Being clever and creative is nice, but not if it means people have to figure out what it means if they click that call-to-action button. Few will bother to figure it out.
- Keep It Simple. Use as few words as possible to convey what they action you want them to take.
- Keep It Clear. Be literal. Even boring.
- Use Strong Verbs to Start Your CTA. Like Donate, Support, Discover, Explore.
- Evoke Emotions. Given all that, find the emotional core of what the donor is going to do.
- Create Urgency. Even adding the word now can help. Just make it clear that now is better than "some time."
