When your business is launched or the company is open, you can collect email addresses through registration on the website . But, an important point - registration is usually perceived as a barrier and if it is really so necessary, then it is necessary to explain to the user what exactly it is needed for. Registration should be simple and step-by-step with a minimum number of fields. But if you can do without registration, then it is better not to use it, but to collect addresses through the application form, for example.
The next form for collecting email addresses is "Order Form" . This form is mandatory for those who sell something through the website or provide services. After a person fills out the form and clicks the "Place an order", "Buy" button, etc., they should definitely receive a reply email as soon as possible. This could be a thank you email for the order with an explanation of the terms of payment and delivery, or a letter stating that the order has been accepted. You can also send a letter with a discount on the next purchase or a letter to get feedback on the product or service. There are many options, but the most important thing is that the person receives some kind of response after placing the order. Other options for collecting email addresses, similar to the "place an order" form: "express application", "cost calculation" (send by email), "cost calculation calculator" with an "order" button, in the product card you can make a "buy" button, if the product is out of stock, you can make a "track the price" or "notify when the product is in stock" button, for those who are passionate about a certain brand, make a "follow the brand" button, and so on.
"Subscription form" is more suitable for content projects, such as blogs or educational resources, but there may also be other information portals, such as news or the same online store, where you can ask to subscribe to receive information about new products or promotions.
Advice: don’t force a person to subscribe with the word “subscribe” — it’s a bad and repulsive word. It’s better to write “I want to receive useful information” on the subscription button — it sounds much nicer and is perceived better psychologically. And it would be good if you indicated how many people are already reading you, for example, “we are already read by 50,000 subscribers”. There can also be many options for subscription forms, it all depends on the imagination of your marketer. You can offer specific content to the reader (a book, a training course, etc.), you can offer a discount or a gift for subscribing, you can offer to subscribe directly in context (“liked the article — get fresh articles by e-mail”), you can subscribe a person to a stable weekly/daily subscription (if there is one), etc. The subscription form should attract attention and motivate to subscribe. It is better to leave several lead magnets on the site - registration on the site, registration in the catalog, subscription to the blog, etc., but do not overload the site with a large number of forms.
