In case you missed it. Facebook is rolling out new call to action buttons for Facebook Pages. I’m hearing reports from other social media managers they are starting to see them on some of their pages. I know I have several clients excited about the options, especially the Shop Now button. Which button will you be using? Have you seen this available on your page yet?
More info:
Page admins will be able to select from a group of call-to-action buttons — like Shop Now or Sign Up — to add to the top of their Page.
The seven calls to action available are:
Book Now
Contact Us
Use App
Play Game
Shop Now
Sign Up

“For online retailer Dollar Shave Club, using the call-to-action button helped boost its customer acquisition efforts:
“Over the course of a three-week test, the Sign Up call-to-action button delivered a 2.5x higher conversion rate versus other comparable social placements aimed to drive new user acquisition.” — Brian Kim, Director of Acquisition, Dollar Shave Club”
According to FB the call-to-action feature will roll out in the US over the next few weeks and worldwide next year. This was stated in December 2014.
