And you do that by using email sign-up tools that provide quick and easy ways for new subscribers to sign up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The problem is that not all of your potential subscribers use the same methods to interact with your business &mdash; some might visit your website, others might follow you on social media, and there are those who prefer the face-to-face interaction they get when they visit your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fortunately, there are great email sign-up tools you can use in all of these situations to allow people to subscribe, and they are all available through your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/account-home\">Constant Contact<\/a> account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-3e41869c wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/features\/sms\/?ic=blogttjb\" style=\"background-color:#008cf0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Make joining your lists easy with SMS Text-to-Join<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-e\">5 email sign-up tools to help you build and grow your email list<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let&rsquo;s start by navigating to where you can find the various types of online sign-up forms you can create within your Constant Contact account. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you&rsquo;ve signed into your account, click the &ldquo;Sign-up Forms&rdquo; link in the top menu of your account. Then, click on the blue &ldquo;Create sign-up form&rdquo; button in the upper right-hand corner of the page. After that, you can choose what kind of sign-up form you&rsquo;d like to create.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"552\" width=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2022-08-19_14-14-14.png?w=600\" alt=\"Constant Contact sign-up form menu\" class=\"wp-image-149454\" style=\"width:450px;height:414px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2022-08-19_14-14-14.png 795w, https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2022-08-19_14-14-14.png?resize=300,276 300w, https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2022-08-19_14-14-14.png?resize=768,707 768w, https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2022-08-19_14-14-14.png?resize=600,552 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">In Constant Contact, get started by choosing the sign-up form you want to use.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&rsquo;s that easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, let&rsquo;s take a look at our options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-1-website-sign-up-forms\">1. Website sign-up forms<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the top of the email sign-up tools are the website sign-up forms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are four options for your website sign-up forms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Pop-up<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Flyout<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Banner<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inline<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The pop-up sign-up form<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just like it sounds, this sign-up form will &ldquo;pop up&rdquo; on the screen when someone visits your site. But when that form pops up, on what devices it pops up  &mdash; mobile or desktop &mdash; and even if the Constant Contact branding is shown is all up to you.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Flyout sign-up forms<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you choose the animation option, this type of sign-up form slides onto the screen and then slides back off. While it covers part of the screen it tends to be less alarming or intrusive than a pop-up form may seem, and you can choose where on your page the form appears &mdash; letting you decide what gets covered by the form and what doesn&rsquo;t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The banner<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The banner sign-up form shows up on your visitor&rsquo;s screen as a broad block either at the top or the bottom of the screen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"301\" width=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2022-08-19_15-22-12.png?w=600\" alt=\"example of a Constant Contact banner sign-up form\" class=\"wp-image-149462\" style=\"width:450px;height:226px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2022-08-19_15-22-12.png 1891w, https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2022-08-19_15-22-12.png?resize=300,151 300w, https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2022-08-19_15-22-12.png?resize=768,385 768w, https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2022-08-19_15-22-12.png?resize=600,301 600w, https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2022-08-19_15-22-12.png?resize=1536,771 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">This example of a banner sign-up form can give you an idea of how one will look on your own website.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As with the previously mentioned sign-up forms, you can set the banner sign-up form to show up on your visitor&rsquo;s screen one exit intent, or on a timer. You can also choose how often a visitor will see the sign-up form &mdash; from several times a visit to only once in a lifetime (or until they clear their browser&rsquo;s cookies &mdash; whichever comes first).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No matter which form you choose, the content setup is the same and customizing the look and feel of the form is quick and easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"275\" width=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2022-08-19_15-25-29.png?w=600\" alt=\"an example of Constant Contact's sign-up tool\" class=\"wp-image-149463\" style=\"width:449px;height:206px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2022-08-19_15-25-29.png 1429w, https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2022-08-19_15-25-29.png?resize=300,138 300w, https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2022-08-19_15-25-29.png?resize=768,353 768w, https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2022-08-19_15-25-29.png?resize=600,275 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">With tools this easy, the most difficult part is deciding what information to collect, as well as what lists your subscribers can opt in to.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In-line sign-up forms<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An in-line sign-up form is a static form that is embedded on a web page. In other words, it &lsquo;sits&rsquo; on the page, waiting for someone to find it and fill it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These forms are often found on &ldquo;contact us&rdquo; pages and can be updated in your Constant Contact account without having to edit your website every time you want to make a change to your form. However, installing an in-line sign-up form does require that your website builder or hosting platform must support Javascript and you&rsquo;ll have to use HTML code, so if you&rsquo;re not comfortable doing so, I suggest you have your webmaster install it for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-background wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"background:linear-gradient(31deg,rgb(255,215,50) 0%,rgb(255,250,212) 41%,rgb(255,250,212) 82%,rgba(255,250,212,0.25) 100%);font-size:18px\">For complete directions and additional information on creating and installing Constant Contact&rsquo;s website sign-up forms, start with our <strong>Knowledge Base <\/strong>tutorial: <a href=\"https:\/\/knowledgebase.constantcontact.com\/tutorials\/KnowledgeBase\/22607-Creating-a-Pop-up-Sign-up-Form-Video?lang=en_US\">Create different types of sign-up forms<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-2-lead-generation-landing-page-for-social-media\">2. Lead generation landing page for social media<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If people are checking out your social media page or profile, they&rsquo;re interested in what you&rsquo;re doing.

ListBuilder app for Constant Contact<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next sign-up tool &mdash; ListBuilder app &mdash; allows you to collect names and email addresses through your tablet. To get started, download the app either from the Google Play Store or from the Apple App Store (depending on your tablet).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"343\" height=\"342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/purchased-email-lists1.jpg?w=343\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-151682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/purchased-email-lists1.jpg 343w, https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/purchased-email-lists1.jpg?resize=150,150 150w, https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/purchased-email-lists1.jpg?resize=300,300 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 343px) 100vw, 343px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Look for the Constant Contact icon when downloading ListBuilder to your <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.constantcontact.jmml&amp;hl=en_US&amp;gl=US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Android tablet<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/listbuilder-for-constant-contact\/id1059782568\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Apple iPad<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once downloaded, log into the app using your Constant Contact username and password. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At this point, I recommend you set an admin PIN. This will allow you to keep the option to switch from the sign-up form to the settings page locked and secure &mdash; which will help to avoid any accidental changes to your form or list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After you&rsquo;ve set your Admin PIN, choose the list you&rsquo;d like to add your new contacts to. Ideally, this would be the list that triggers your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/automated-welcome-series\/\">welcome email series<\/a> which will include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/what-is-click-segmentation\/\">click-segmentation<\/a> links that will help you segment your new contacts even further for future targeted communications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now you can customize your form with a background image, your logo, and a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/call-to-action-ideas\/\">call to action (CTA)<\/a> to join your list. Next, you&rsquo;ll want to choose what information you want to collect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While their email address is the bare minimum, I suggest you also collect their name so you can personalize the messages you send to them. And, although there are several other options to choose from as well, be careful not to ask for too much information upfront, as this may put some people off and they may decide not to sign up for your marketing communications at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you&rsquo;ve finished those few steps, just click &ldquo;next,&rdquo; and you&rsquo;ll be all set to start collecting emails. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Quick Tip:<\/strong> Remove the PIN on your tablet so customers can easily wake it up if it goes to sleep due to inactivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-background wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"background:linear-gradient(31deg,rgb(255,91,160) 0%,rgb(255,146,88) 17%,rgb(255,242,223) 78%);font-size:18px\">For complete directions and additional information on downloading and installing the ListBuilder app on your device, check out our <strong>Knowledge Base article: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/knowledgebase.constantcontact.com\/articles\/KnowledgeBase\/6829-listbuilder-for-constant-contact?lang=en_US\">ListBuilder for Constant Contact<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. SMS\/Text message (Text-to-Join)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next sign-up tool &mdash; &ldquo;Text-to-Join&rdquo; &mdash; allows your customers to join both your email and SMS lists at the same time. Allowing you to reach your audience where they are the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Constant Contact, using Text-to-Join is super easy. All you have to do is choose an email segment to add your Text-to-Join signups to and activate the tool. Constant Contact will automatically send out a welcome SMS as well as auto-responses for both &ldquo;yes&rdquo; and &ldquo;no&rdquo; replies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After that, all you have to do is share your Text-to-Join number with your prospects, inviting them to join your list.<\/p>\n\n\n<section class=\"cta-banner-block banner-no-image green\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/knowledgebase.constantcontact.com\/articles\/KnowledgeBase\/49487-Add-new-email-and-SMS-subscribers-through-text-to-join?q=text-to-join&amp;pnx=1&amp;lang=en_US\" title=\"\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"cta-banner-link\">\n                <div class=\"cta-banner-content\">\n            <h4 class=\"cta-banner-title\">Get the details and step-by-step instructions on how to implement Text-to-Join for your account.<\/h4>\n            <div class=\"cta-banner-excerpt\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/a>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, as with all marketing tools, you&rsquo;ll want to use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/sms-text-message-marketing-best-practices\/\">SMS marketing best practices<\/a> when reaching out to your audience via text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-4-qr-code-scan-to-join\">5.

And, if you implemented tool number two, you&rsquo;ve done most of the work already.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the past, QR codes were pretty basic and didn&rsquo;t always stand out, but now there are a multitude of options so you can create the right QR code for your printed material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-standard-qr-code\">Standard QR code<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The standard black and white QR codes are the simplest and most easily recognized of QR-code styles.
