A call to action

For engagement ask your followers opinions on things, ask them a question, get them to comment their experience’s don’t forget to add the ‘comment down below’ to make it a CTA.
For website clicks say things like ‘check out our new product on site now’ ‘head to our website to see’ ‘check out our new blog at …’
