Why Do Newsletter Popups Work?

A growing number of WordPress users rely on popup plugins to build their email list.
Why? Simply because they perform better than traditional opt-in forms.

Here are a few of their advantages over other email collection techniques:

  • Newsletter popups can be segmented by user type (returning or new, coming from a specific source of traffic, logged in or not, etc.), page viewed (depending on the page URL, page tag, author, etc.), device, geolocation, etc. A precise segmentation means a higher conversion rate.
  • Popup designs are limitless. You can add visuals, pick specific colors, edit your wording. In other words, it’s easy to create forms that will attract your users’ attention.
  • Opt-in popups are usually more visible. Thus, your visitors are less likely to miss them.
  • Popups are easy to A/B test, track and optimize.

The bottom line? On average, our WordPress users triple the number of new subscribers they get.

Four Tips to Create the Best Newsletter Popups

Test Your Campaigns

List-building is an art, and it’s very rare to find the best strategy right away. You can start by testing your wording, and then your targeting, your design, etc.
Remember to test one element after the other to identify the exact element which makes the difference.

Choose Your Words Carefully

Do you see the difference between: “Subscribe to our newsletter” and “Join the gang! Get fresh news every week”? A/B tests run by our customers have shown that modifying a single word choice can produce significant results. Be creative!

Pick the Right Incentive

Subscribers are very sensitive to offers. Some of our customers have multiplied their numbers of subscribers by up to eight times by offering a coupon. And don’t worry, coupons are not the only options. Sweepstakes, freebies or great content can do the trick as well. Think as a user: what extra incentive would convince you to subscribe to a newsletter?

Sync Your Popups

Send your new subscribers to your email marketing tool automatically to contact them right away. Welcome them with an automatic email and start building a relationship with them.
