What is the best call-to-action for a Mother's Day promotional email?

The call-to-action button in a promotional email determines whether a subscriber who is interested actually clicks through. The wording, placement, and visual treatment of the CTA each significantly affect click-through rate.

TL;DR - Quick Answer

Specific, action-forward CTA language outperforms generic alternatives by 15 to 30 percent in click-through rate for Mother's Day emails. Shop the Mother's Day Gift Guide outperforms Shop Now, and Get Her Gift in Time outperforms Learn More. The CTA button should be placed above the fold as the primary action, repeated once more at the end of the email, and styled with enough contrast to stand out clearly against the email background on both mobile and desktop.

Best CTA for Mother's Day Promotional Emails

CTA Design Best Practices

  • Button size: Minimum 44px height for touch targets on mobile. A button that is too small generates accidental misses on small screens.
  • Color contrast: The button color should stand out clearly from the email background. A light background needs a dark or color button; a dark background needs a light or accent-colored button.
  • Placement: Primary CTA above the fold, secondary CTA after the product section. No more than two CTAs in a single email unless they link to different products.
