Successful marketers know the power of mailing lists.
This is because a a list of email subscribers gives you on-demand traffic and access to repeat sales.
Research shows that, on average, 50%-80% of all web visitors who leave will never return. That’s a lot of money and opportunities that you’re missing out on. Also, research shows that it takes an average of 7 interactions with your business before a purchase decision is made. It’s vitally important, therefore, to look for a strategy that will help you interact repeatedly with 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 still on your website, so you can continue communicating with them after they have left your site.
Building a list is absolutely essential for building a successful online business. A great list of email addresses has the potential to become your most reliable source of profit.
If you sell one or more products on your website, or your business relies on traffic, then building a list is essential, because it is the key to having access to repeat visitors and relationship-building.
There are many ways and effective strategies to build an opt-in list, but until very recently, it was very difficult to find one solution that takes advantage of many of the most effective methods available for capturing email addresses on a website.

Integrated List Building Strategies To Optimise Your Conversions
Thrive Leads integrates the following list-building strategies into one easy-to-use plugin:
Design And Deploy
Thrive Leads comes with dozens of professionally-designed and web optimized form templates that can be fully customized to suit your needs, without coding skills required.
Simple “point and click” technology and a drag-and-drop editor lets you easily create, modify and customize your forms …
Powerful Split Testing Engine
A/B testing is the fastest way to optimize your conversion rates and accelerate the growth of your list.
Thrive Leads comes with a powerful A/B testing engine built-in that allows you to easily test a whole range of variables, including the following:
Test Designs And Content
The plugin lets you test different designs and content, and provides a “set and forget” feature that automatically eliminates the losing variations, and display only the highest converting tests after enough data has been collected.
You just start your test and the plugin handles the rest, automatically helping you increase your conversion rates over time.
A/B Test Opt-In Form Triggers
Thrive Leads lets you easily customize when and how your forms should display to visitors.
For example, you can set up:
- Time-based triggers to show a buy button on your screen after 60 seconds
- Scroll-depth triggers where a message appears only after your site visitors scroll down at least 15% of the page
- Exit-intent triggers that can detect when someone is about to leave your page and presents them with a pop-up form.
Furthermore, you can also test if the form performs better when displayed instantly, or when a form animates into view (e.g. slide in). You can test multiple triggers against one another to further boost your conversion rate.
Test Multiple Form Types
Thrive Leads also lets you A/B test different opt-in form types. For example, you can test a widget form on your sidebar vs a slide-in form and see which type of form performs better for your business.
Split-Test Different Offers
The plugin even lets you split-test entirely different offers.
For example, you can connect different forms to different email marketing campaigns to help you decide which campaign offers yield the best conversion results for your business.
(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 easily clone an existing form – even make multiple copies of a form, then modify the element(s) you want to test and instantly start running your A/B split test again, and and you can do all this in just a few minutes.
Additional features of Thrive Leads include:
Advanced Targeting Features
You can create hyper-targeted offers for your visitors with three advanced targeting options (Easy, Advanced, Ultimate). You have precise 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 define exactly where kinds of offers — even specific designs — will display across your entire site based on certain rules you set (e.g. a lightbox pop-up on your 404 error page), including which templates, archive pages, etc. or, conversely, where to exclude forms from displaying on your site.
You can even create highly relevant offers to display to the right segments of your audience at a precise moment. Use this feature to create hyper-targeted and extremely profitable lists.
You can even use different lists with different services and different forms.

We Recommend
Building a list is absolutely essential when it comes to building a successful online business. When it comes to growing a targeted list, the only way to increase the speed your list grows is to continually run split-tests and then analyze your performance to 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 ongoing subscriptions.
With Thrive Leads, you have 100% control over exactly where and how your opt-in forms are displayed to visitors, and intelligent reporting that helps you increase your conversion 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 functionality, such as allowing users to create and insert popups into their site. Thrive Leads starts with this type of functionality, but their real focus is on conversion optimization.
