🤔 Can I Grow my Email List?
If you are offering a deal to potential customers, getting them on your mailing list ensures future marketing opportunities. Black Friday will come and go, and long after the tryptophan has worn off and your sales have gone back to normal, your mailing list will have a long term gain.
📩 Capture Email/SMS Opt-Ins
Easily let your followers become Black Friday and Cyber Monday customers with email/SMS opt-in forms from Campsite.
You can integrate with your ActiveCampaign, Mailchimp, MailerLite, or Klaviyoa ccount, or collect emails/phone numbers in a Google Sheet.
⚡️ Power up your Campsite with our Opt-in form to collect emails or phone numbers.
🏷 Change up your CTA
With a promotion or contest you have a golden opportunity to write a more compelling CTA (call to action) on your email subscribe form. Instead of "Sign Up", say something like "Get our Cyber Monday deal"
Here's a great example on Campsite by dothedamnthing
