Ok in the last blog I discussed about the essential
elements in creating an enticing & captivating Call to action button in
digital scenario.
But implementing theory in actual practice can be
quiet tricky especially when you font know & control the actual setting in
which you consumer might be getting the message. So in this part we will
discuss some live examples & best practices of Call to Action
buttons. We’ll tie in these designs with the techniques
and best practices from above and explore how they aid in accomplishing good
design practice.
Campaign Monitor
This set of call to action buttons presents two potential user actions: "Try it for free" and "View features". For users who know about Campaign Monitor already and want to try it now, they can take the primary desired action, while others who’d like to explore before making the time commitment can take the secondary action of viewing the features of the web application.

Livestream.com
This set of call to action buttons uses vertically-arranged grouping to indicate the desired order of importance of the actions being presented to the user. The desired primary action is to get an estimate, followed by getting details about the service, and lastly, to compare and contrast between different plans.

Hambo Design
This call to action button tells the user what to expect: by getting a quote, there are no strings attached. It anticipates the question of "how much will a quote cost me if I were to invest my time in going through this process?"

The
Resumator
You can see many best practices in action on this call to action button implementation. First, it uses whitespace, size, and color to clearly separate it from other page elements. Then, to create a logical grouping with elements that can help convince the user to take action, it has less whitespace with the feature text above it, and the secondary action of "Take a tour first" below it.

Wufoo
Wufoo offers two actions that the user can take in a horizontally arranged fashion with the primary desired action on the left. The buttons are large and very hard to miss, yet they are not obtrusive when looking at the overall design.

Mobile Web Design
This call to action button is placed in a prominent location; it has large size and a distinctive color with respect to surrounding elements. To provide additional context on what it means to "Purchase the book", the call to action button is followed by text explaining cost and available format (traditional book or PDF).

NCover
These call to action buttons are stacked. The primary desired action is on top of the blue secondary desired action. The user is drawn to the button because of the size, and using a blue hue for the secondary desired action mutes it relative to the primary desired action. Notice the use of whitespace to create a logical grouping of the three related elements that can help make the sale: the text that tells users what NCover does, the sign up call to action, and the tour call to action. In contrast, notice the increased margin between this group and the element on the right.

Xero
This set of call to actions exhibits the use of providing users a secondary action. On the right of the primary desired action, there is a text link that calls for the user to "find out more". For users not willing to sign up right away, the design may have increased the likelihood that the user will “find out more” before signing up.

Tao
Effect – Espionage
Here is a set of call to action buttons that provides users with three options: Download, Buy Now, or Upgrade. In this case, the primary desired action is to download the application, followed by the two equally-prioritized actions of Buy Now, or Upgrade. This distinction is made by varying the colors of the call to action buttons, with the primary action more prominent than the two secondary actions.

The Invoice
Machine
Here you can see two call to action buttons that are highlighted with a blue border. Because they’re both styled the same way, we can assume they have equal importance. Perhaps the company determined that it is unlikely that the user will take the action of signing up before seeing what they have to offer, or perhaps they’ve determined that the product tour will help them convert viewers to members more effectively.
