Plugin: Call to action

What's a Call to action?

A call to action is an instruction to the audience to provoke an immediate response, usually using an imperative verb such as "call now", "find out more" or "visit our store today". A great Call-to-Action has to be outstanding, extremely clear and visually different from the rest of your text !

Adding a nice big button in the email is one of the best weapon to help your users understand what do you expect from them.

Description

This plugin enables you to insert one or several Call to Action in your Newsletters. This plugin is already included in AcyMailing Enterprise and Multi-site edition, you simply have to publish it to use it.

Once you click on the "Insert the tag" button, your personalized button will be inserted in your newsletter as you built it:

You can refine the design by using some CSS rules in the newsletter template you're using. Here are the classes you can use:

• actionbutton: This class is added on the parent element of your button

• toprow: This class is added on the first line of the table

• contentrow: This class is added on the main line of the table (where the content is displayed)

• bottomrow: This class is added on the last row of the table

In some mail clients the border radius CSS rule may not be applied (such as Outlook 07 / 10 / 13, Office 365 and Yahoo! mail)
