Enhance Engagement By Using Call To Actions In Email Marketing

Creating compelling call to actions are 100% required for effective marketing in today's world of engagement.

As an award winning top rated partner of vCita , Duda Mobile and Constant Contact our focus is always on how to create a sustainable ROI for our clients, and it all boils down to how engaging is our call to action within our integrated marketing campaigns we create for them.

A Call To Action by definition according to Wikipedia is:

" In marketing, a call to action (CTA) 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 a store today "

When we craft up an email marketing campaign and combine CTA's using vCita we end up with greater success, here are some examples:

  • Schedule A Meeting or Call (Allows for a live scheduled event/meeting/call that connects directly to the person's calendar availability)
  • Contact Us (This sends them to a mobile responsive web form that instantly text messages the recipient that a person has contacted them)
  • Make A Payment (Instantly receive payments on any device from clients for services or even products)
  • Send A Document (Upload documents from your website or client portal, email campaigns and other sources)
Using email marketing is always a great channel, and sometimes emails need that extra bit of engagement. We do this by incorporating the above CTA's as general buttons that make the overall email template/campaign work great. Constant Contact has built a variety of related CTA's such as; Event Registrations, Surveys, Coupons and Forward To A Friend features right into the platform, and are fantastic ways to keep your audience engaged and focused on exactly what you want them to do.

Start using more than the basics, diversify your portfolio of engagement with your intended audience and get them to focus on ONE CTA (Call to Action) at a time. It's actually better to send 2-3 emails per month (providing you have valuable content / offers to share) and focus on that ONE CTA vs. sending one email with a variety of CTA's in it. Less is more and it's even more relevant in today's world of marketing because of the mobile impact it has.

We are currently doing beta testing between Constant Contact and vCita to prove how powerful engagement is when combining the CTA's of vCita into email campaigns. Stay tuned for another follow-up blog post about this program.

Try vCita and see how you can easily incorporate new mobile responsive CTA's into your email campaigns and see how you increase your clicks and overall engagement when you combine the two powerful tools together.

What is a Local Search Grid? The Local Search Grid can show you where your business is ranking on a more granular level. Instead of giving you an overall ranking for your whole city, the grid shows where you rank from one neighbourhood to the next.

What is Reputation Manager? Reputation Manager is the part of MAP Local dedicated to managing your online reputation. In the past, it’s been difficult for online marketers to influence online reviews. After all, marketers don’t typically have face-to-face interactions with customers, and rarely dictate processes around customer interactions — this is why Reputation Manager was built. The platform sends intelligent review invites to customers, providing the business with the best possible chance of receiving new online reviews that fit in the top review sites’ guidelines. It also gives detailed reporting and customer feedback for internal reporting, which helps you to develop your business over time.

The website for Oak Bay Family Chiropractic Centre
By Conscious Commerce May 22, 2025
We recently completed a website migration for Oak Bay Family Chiropractic Centre , moving them from Perfect Patients to MAP Web . Along with the migration, we gave their site a fresh, modern look with a cleaner layout and clearer navigation to make it easier for visitors to find what they need. The services were reorganized to better highlight what they offer, and stronger calls-to-action were added to encourage bookings and inquiries. We also improved mobile responsiveness so the site works smoothly on any device. The new site is easier for Oak Bay Family Chiropractic Centre to manage internally and reflects their brand more consistently with updated colours, fonts, and design elements.

OS Systems Ltd. came to us with the goal of updating their brand to reflect who they are today. Their old branding lacked cohesion, depth, and a strong identity and their digital presence especially the website, wasn’t telling the right story. Branding Direction To help reach this goal we set out to create a bold but approachable brand that clearly communicated professionalism, innovation, and trust. The new identity started with a new logo: a stylized “O” embedded with wiring, circuitry, and a lock icon. This not only made the logo recognizable, but also reinforced OS Systems’ role in delivering smart, integrated security solutions. To support the new look, we introduced: A tech-forward iconography set A colour palette built around blues and teals (trust, safety, innovation) Clear, confident typography using Poppins for body and Oswald for the tagline A refreshed brand statement: Custom Security Solutions, summarizing their commitment to personalized, high-tech protection
