Your client Lucy, a marketer at Top Chocolate Shop, wants you to add a CTA to every image in the slider on the homepage so she can generate more leads. How would you respond?

I don't think that's the best approach. An extremely small percentage of users are likely to click on CTAs beyond the first CTA in an image slider.

You're right, Lucy. CTAs above the fold are more likely to be seen and so we should add as many CTAs as possible.
