The first aspect of setting up your press release correctly is to decide on your main goal in sending it out.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/guides.newswire.com\/guide\/how-to-write-a-press-release\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" style=\"margin-left: 20px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newswire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Guide-Writing-Press-Release.jpg\" alt=\"get-started-newsroom\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" align=\"right\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Set your goal<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In most cases, your press release will be designed to accomplish one of the following goals:<\/p>\n<p>1-Get more traffic<\/p>\n<p>2-Register more subscribers<\/p>\n<p>3-Find more qualified leads for your product or service<\/p>\n<p>4-Launch a new product<\/p>\n<p>5-Get more sales of a product<\/p>\n<p>6-Announce a special event<\/p>\n<p>7-Encourage attendance at a live event<\/p>\n<p>And so on. The CTA should match the goals much as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s look at a few options for each:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1-Get more traffic<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Visit URL now for more information<\/p>\n<p>Read more at URL<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about our company, visit the media center at URL<\/p>\n<p>To download a range of free resources, such as infographics, decks and more, visit URL<\/p>\n<p><strong>2-Register more subscribers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To get your free download, sign up at URL<\/p>\n<p>To start your free ecourse, register at URL<\/p>\n<p><strong>3-Find more qualified leads for your product or service<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Interested in learning more?

Choose 1 or 2 goals at most that you wish to focus on and be sure your CTA is the right one for the job.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Organizing the CTA back-end correctly<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Once you have set your goal and CTA, it is important to organize the back end and check it to make sure it functions correctly. For example, if you wish to get more subscribers to your email newsletter, it is important to set up a proper landing page, also referred to as a squeeze page, because you are trying to squeeze the information out of your visitor, such as their name and email address.<\/p>\n<p>Calls to action can be the most powerful part of your press release, so plan them carefully and see what a difference they can make to your results.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;Call us today to speak to one of our PR specialists: 1-800-713-7278&quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:16897,&quot;3&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:0},&quot;12&quot;:0,&quot;17&quot;:1}\">Call us today to speak to one of our PR specialists: 1-800-713-7278<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are a number of main calls-to-action (CTA) in press releases that can help you achieve your marketing goals if &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2679,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[419,254,255],"class_list":["post-2675","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-outreach","tag-effective-press-release-call-to-action","tag-how-to-write-a-good-call-to-action","tag-press-release-call-to-action"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.7 (Yoast SEO v25.7) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>7 Different Types Of Calls To Action And How To Create Them | Newswire<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"There are a number of main calls-to-action (CTA) in press releases that can help you achieve your marketing goals if you set them up correctly.
