Top 5 Buzzed About Calls To Action From Artofthecta.com

With November coming to a close, it’s time to check in on the buzz rankings from our Art Of The Call To Action gallery. For those who haven’t scoped it out yet, you can find a description of the site here.

Each month we’ll post a list of the top five calls to action, according to buzz in the form of “Notes.” Keep in mind that Notes can represent both good and bad feedback, so the more Notes for a post the more reactions it has received. Hence “buzz.”

Given that this is the inaugural post for Art of the CTA buzz recognition, we wanted to bullet out two months, September and November 2011. Without further ado:

September 2011:

  1. Gamestop Grand Theft Auto Text To Win Sweepstakes (20 Notes)
  2. Austin Capital Metro Transit QR Code For Info (20 Notes)
  3. John Deere Online Sign-up Form To Join Email and SMS List (18 Notes)
  4. KTBC Channel 7 News Text Poll (16 Notes)
  5. AT&T Bracket Town SMS Poll (14 Notes)

November 2011:

  1. Groundhog Day Text Update From Punxsutawney Phil (21 Notes)
  2. Candie’s Britney Spears Text To Win Sweepstakes (15 Notes)
  3. MTA NYC Text For Subway Times (14 Notes)
  4. Forever 21 Times Square Text To Join Mobile Club (11 Notes)
  5. ALS Therapy Development Text To Donate (7 Notes)

Check back at the end of each month for future updates and go to artofthecta.com to buzz about your favorite (or least favorite) calls to action. We also encourage you to leave any comments or Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down on those posts which you think are particularly effective or ineffective.

And, if you have or have seen calls to action that you want to see hit the buzz awards, please submit them!

    How much do you think F21 paid for that sign in Times Square?

    F21 is one of my favorite places to shop, so naturally I joined their mobile list. But since subscribing more than a year ago they have never sent out any messages! Spend all this money advertising to build your subscriber list, but not message out to your subscribers who actually want to be notified of sale, deals, and new arrivals? That be UNHEARD OF if Waterfall Mobile’s account managers were consulting and helping them implement mobile campaign strategy.
