            msgobj.From = new MailAddress(customer.Email, "Shopper's Stop", System.Text.Encoding.UTF8);
            msgobj.To.Add(customer.Email);

            msgobj.Body = GetFormattedMessageHTML(customer);
            msgobj.IsBodyHtml = true;
            msgobj.DeliveryNotificationOptions = DeliveryNotificationOptions.OnFailure;
            serverobj.Send(msgobj);
            return RedirectToAction("Products", "Home");
        }
        return View();
    }
    private String GetFormattedMessageHTML(Customer customer)
    {
        return "<!DOCTYPE html> " +
            "<html xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\">" +
            "<head>" +

                "<h1 style=\"text-align:center;\"> " + "</h1>" +
                "<h2 style=\"font-size:14px;\">" +
                    "Name : " + customer.First_Name + " " + customer.Last_Name + "<br />" +
                    "Company : " + "NewTech Software" + "<br />" +
                    "Email : " + customer.Email + "<br />" +

                    //and when clicked how to perform further action
                    "Activation Link" + "<a href="+"some link"+"sometext to be clicked"+customer.Cust_Id +"></a>"+
                "</h2>" +

Try this

Replace

"<a href="+"some link"+"sometext to be clicked"+customer.Cust_Id +"></a>"

to

   "<a href=\""+your_url+"\">clickable text</a>"

and here string your_url="";
