View marketing as a science. Whatever product or service you offer your audience, everyone is different. The larger the audience, you must adjust your data collection and analysis. You will need to adjust or add new segments and customer profiles on a schedule. Change comes and goes differently within your audience. You are always reading and always doing.

Another way to use a call-to-action (CTA)
Another Way to Use A Call-to-Action (CTA)
What other words inspire action?

I Love 2 Inspire
Once someone clicks on your CTA they go to your website or landing page. If the marketing term of “call-to-action” sounds like a military term, I like to use “inspire.” Also, call-to-action always reminds me of the word “sale.” Just about everyone loves a sale.

It’s not a sale
But, depending on what you are selling, maybe the word sale is closed in. Simply, it’s not a sale. The mere thought of a sale is not your brand. If you plan to sell your brand to a new segment in your database, the product or service you select must appear less price sensitive,

A bit of motivation
Is the word inspire better than call-to-action? Inspire leaves a positive feeling for a customer by telling them the secrets of how to use your product or service benefits. Just about anything but a sale. If your product works the way you hype it, people will buy it at a fair price.
At all times learning
Inspiration
My first boss taught me how to make dough. Using fifty pounds of flour at one time. He inspired me to learn.
Upselling
So, I learned how to “work” a customer. After the order is complete, I was told to remind them to order product B or C, which go nicely with a pizza.
Will not fail
I learned a lot from my first boss. He hired me when I was a sophomore in high school. I did not want to fail him.
Learn by reading and doing
It was another introduction for me to learn by reading, learn by doing. I attended a technical high school that used a similar vocation of learning. I thrived in that environment!
Know your customer reach
As a marketer or salesperson, help your customers feel they want to do something. Maybe they need more information, a sample of the product or service or “buy this product and you can do this or that or whatever you want to do.” Inspire them.
Confidence and motivation
The word confidence is another good marketing term to use. Does your product or service provide confidence by the way it works or how to use it. Maybe to fulfill an ego? That works well, it creates great loyalty. Maybe motivate yourself to find more words.
