Call to Action - Where to Place Transactional Buttons
The best place to put key actions that you want your customers to act on, like "book now", is an area known as "above the fold" on each page - this area fills the whole screen when the page is first loaded. Good website design places menu navigation, contact points and other important actions in familiar top left or top right positions.
The placement of Transactional Buttons for Shopperee is therefore recommended:
- Above the fold, and
- On every page of your website
This ensures that your customers can see the button and follow through without having to 'look' for where to click. The following shows a typical placement:
Sample Site - TonyTennis.com
To see a leading example of booking buttons, go to TonyTennis.com. Note how the business has chosen to use its own design for booking buttons which include text and infographics. These designs quickly convey information to customers without the need for them to read or think.
