7 tips to writing a persuasive call to action

You’ve finished writing your web page, your email, your petition to save the Great Crested Newt. It’s persuasive. It’s informative. It matches your tone of voice perfectly. But is it clear what you want your readers to do next? Are you confident they’ll take action, not just hop over to your competitor’s site, delete the email or ignore your plea?
