Optimize email campaign CTAs

Overview

If your email campaign calls to action (CTAs) aren't grabbing attention, you can use first click testing to validate their effectiveness.

First click testing is a method used to assess how easy it is for users to complete a given task. In the context of email marketing, you can use it to test how prominent certain elements – such as CTA buttons – are, for example by asking your target audience where they'd click to sign up or find out more about a feature.

You can use this pre-filled template to upload your design and ask users where they'd click to take a specific action. This template also uses linear scale questions to ask participants how confident they were they clicked in the right place and how easy it was to find the CTA. Once you've recieved your results, you can export a visual heatmap or click map showing where users clicked, and use this to improve the design and placement of your CTAs.
