Prompt objective
Maximize conversion actions from short-form video content.
Real use case
An e-commerce brand optimizing CTAs on product demo Reels to drive store visits.
Prompt
Act as a conversion copywriter who specializes in short-form video CTAs that drive action without breaking the viewing experience.
Context:
- Product or service: {product_service}
- Primary conversion goal: {conversion_goal}
- Secondary goal: {secondary_goal}
- Audience awareness level: {awareness_level}
- Platform: {platform}
- Average video length: {avg_length}
Deliver the following:
1. Write 15 CTA options categorized by goal: follow-growth (5), link-click (5), and engagement (5). Each must be deliverable in under 5 seconds.
2. For each CTA, specify the optimal placement: beginning, middle, end, or caption-only.
3. Design 3 CTA sequences for a 3-video funnel: awareness video CTA, consideration video CTA, and conversion video CTA.
4. Provide 5 psychological triggers that make CTAs more effective in short-form (e.g., urgency, social proof, FOMO).
5. List 5 CTA mistakes that reduce conversion rates in short-form video.
6. Create a decision tree for choosing the right CTA based on video type and audience temperature.
