Book their next vacation with Northlake Bed and
Breakfast.
Call to Action
What’s your call to action?

Goals
What do you want your video to do?

Answer customers’ questions? Whatever goals
you have for your video, write them here.
Call to Action
It’s always a good idea to ask your viewers to
take some action after watching your video.
Maybe you want them to “Subscribe” to your
YouTube channel, add a comment, or visit your
website. Your call to action should be a direct
reflection of your goals.
TIP:
Maya could create a
separate strategy to guide
the creation of videos that
promote Northlake’s
food products.

plenty of call to action
