Successful marketers know that building a mailing list is one of the most profitable activities you can engage in to build your business online.
This is because a mailing list gives you immediate traffic and access to repeat sales.
It’s a well-known fact that, on average, 50%-80% of web visitors generally leave and never return. That’s a lot of money and opportunities that you’re almost certainly missing out on. Also, research shows that it takes an average of 7 interactions with your business before prospects will make a purchase decision. It’s vitally important, therefore, to look for methods that will help you get repeat interactions with your site visitors.
How can you do this, however, if most visitors never come back?
The answer, of course, is to capture your visitors’ contact details while they’re visiting your website, so you can continue communicating with them after they exit your site.
Building a list is an essential aspect of building a successful online business. A great mailing list has the potential to become your most valuable business asset.
If you sell one or more products on your website, or your business relies on traffic, then list-building is essential, because it is the key to repeat visitors and building a relationship.
There are many different ways and strategies to build an email list, but until very recently, it was very hard to find an easy-to-use solution that takes advantage of just about all types of list-building methods available to capture email addresses on a website.

Thrive Leads Features
Thrive Leads offers many features to web site owners. Here are just some of these:
Quick And Simple To Install
Ready to use in minutes. As already mentioned, ThriveThemes provides extensive training content and tutorials, webinars, case studies, plus a dedicated support team.
This software not only combines every type of opt-in form your business needs into one single plugin, as you’ve just seen, but it also lets you run all your list-building strategies directly from your administrator login.
Integrated List Building Strategies For Boosting Conversions
Thrive Leads integrates all of the list-building strategies you need to optimize your conversions into one easy-to-use solution:
Design & Deploy
Thrive Leads provides an extensive library of professionally-designed and web optimized form templates that can be fully customized to suit your needs, with no coding skills required.
Simple “point and click” technology and a visual editor lets you easily create, modify and customize your forms …
A/B Testing Engine
A/B testing is the fastest way to double or even triple your conversion rates and accelerate the growth of your list.
Thrive Leads comes with a powerful A/B testing engine that allows you to easily test a whole range of variables, including:
Test Form Designs And Content
The plugin lets you test different designs and content, and provides a “set and forget” feature that allows you to set the plugin to automatically eliminate the losing variations, and display only the highest converting tests after sufficient data has been collected.
You just start your test and the plugin handles everything else, automatically picking the best performers and hiding the losers over time.
Test Multiple Form Triggers
Thrive Leads lets you customize when and how your forms should display to visitors.
For example, you can set up:
- Time-based triggers to show an offer on your screen after 2 minutes
- Scroll-depth triggers where a message will appear only after your visitor scrolls down at least 30% of the page
- Exit-intent triggers that can detect when someone is about to leave the page and presents them with a pop-up form.
Additionally, you can test if forms should display instantly, or animate into view (e.g. slide in). You can test multiple triggers against one another to further increase your conversion rate.
Split-Test Form Types
The Thrive Leads plugin also lets you run A/B tests against different opt-in form types. For example, you can test a sidebar widget form vs an in-line form and see which type of form performs better for your business.
A/B Test Offers
Thrive Leads even lets you run A/B tests on entirely different offers.
For example, you can connect different forms to different email marketing campaigns to help you determine which offer yields the best conversion rates.
(Split-test different offers)
Not only does this plugin give you tremendous flexibility when it comes to split-testing your opt-ins, but you can also easily duplicate any existing form – even make multiple copies, then change the element(s) you want to test and instantly start running your A/B split test again, and all of this can be done in just a few minutes.
Additional features of this software include:
Smart Targeting Features
You can create hyper-targeted offers for your visitors with three advanced targeting levels (Easy, Advanced, Ultimate). You are given granular control over how you target your offers to make your offers highly relevant.
For example, you can create a “catch-all” offer to show on all posts and pages or only your blog posts, or specify exactly where kinds of offers — even specific designs — will display in your site based on certain rules you set (e.g. a ribbon form on all Posts), including which categories, archive pages, etc. or, conversely, where to prevent forms from displaying on your site.
You can even create specific “content upgrade” offers for your most valuable posts. Use this feature to create hyper-targeted and extremely profitable lists.
You can even use different lists with different services and different forms.
Advanced Lead Generation Forms Supported
Advanced form features supported include multiple fields, checkboxes, radio buttons and drop-down menus.
Fully Mobile Responsive
Your forms and list marketing campaigns will show up correctly on any device or screen size.
Thrive Leads is also compatible will all popular web browsers.
In-Depth Reporting

Plus, the plugin provides a “lead sources” report that shows you exactly where your most valuable traffic is coming from, allowing you to plan your campaigns strategically to get highly qualified traffic from the best converting sources.
Integrates Seamlessly With Major Autoresponders And Leading Email Marketing Systems
If your email marketing solution allows embedding of HTML forms then Thrive Leads with work seamlessly with your service.

We Recommend
Building a list is an essential aspect of building a successful online business. When it comes to growing a targeted subscriber list, the only way to increase the speed your list grows is to continually run A/B tests and find out what works best on your site. Thrive Leads makes a powerful tool accessible to WordPress users without technical or cost barriers, such as requiring expert coding skills or subscribing to expensive services.
With Thrive Leads, you have complete control over exactly where and how your opt-in forms show to visitors, and intelligent reporting that helps you increase your opt-in rates. There are other opt-in form plugins and solutions for list-building, but the main difference is that other list-building plugins are designed to focus more on some aspect of functionality, such as enable the user to create and add pop-up forms to their website. Thrive Leads starts with this type of functionality, but their real focus is on conversion optimization.
As stated on their website …
“It’s not just about helping you build your mailing list. It’s about helping you build your mailing list as fast as possible!”
