Call to Action

The purpose of the Gallery Item - Call to Action Snippet is to drive traffic to specific functionality on your website. For example, at different points of the year, you may want to drive prospective students to apply, or donors to give, or community members to attend a campus event. In order to implement this option successfully, you need to identify your key audience(s), analyze their needs, and meet those needs by producing a call to action that allows them to complete a specific task that you know is important to them.

Before you've inserted a Gallery Item - Call to Action Snippet:

1. Navigate to the "widgets" folder of your site directory.
2. Click either New or the arrow icon.
   1. Clicking the arrow icon will provide a quick look at which widgets are available, while clicking New will provide a larger view.
3. Select "Call to Action".
4. Complete all required information, following all instructions.
5. Click Create.
6. Click MultiEdit.
7. Make all appropriate changes.
8. Click Save.
9. Publish the newly created Call to Action widget to Test and Production.

• Each headline has a character limit of 20.

• Each box must have an icon, created by UCM.
