Calls To Action
- Mid-roll CTAs have an average conversion rate of 16.95%, the highest compared to pre- and post-roll CTAs.
- Post-roll CTAs have an average conversion rate of 10.98%.
- The pre-roll call to action (at the start of the video) fared poorly, with an average conversion rate of just 3.15%.
Discuss where you might include a call to action before beginning production. This way you can easily incorporate these pauses when you’re scripting, and help improve your conversion rates.
There is also a big opportunity to craft custom, image-based CTAs and use them in your videos. It might take a little more effort, but there’s a definite payoff. We’ve found that image-based CTAs perform better than plain text options.
Image Calls to Action have better conversion rates — 13.08% for images compared to 10.65% for text.
Example:
As with your Turnstile language, words matter for CTAs too. Certain words seem to drive more clicks than others. Words like ’free' help your chances, whereas words like ’buy' hurt conversion.
Videos with Calls to Action that include the word ’free' convert 12.22% of the time.
Example:
With the exception of ’buy,' Calls to Action with these action words outperformed those without. ’Click' is the most-represented action word — Calls to Action with ’click' outperform the rest by almost 2%.
