Buttons are call-to-action elements with great potential for capturing attention and directing readers to landing pages for products, campaigns, profile pages, and so on.
Test your button's potential
To test how much attention a button captures in the context of a mailing, use the automated attention analyses from Optimizely Campaign. Attention analysis indicates whether a button's location captures a high level of attention and directs readers to desired content.
