Successful marketers know the power of mailing lists.
This is because a mailing list gives you on-demand traffic and access to repeat sales.
It’s a well-known fact that, on average, 50%-80% of everyone who visits a site who leave will never return. That’s a lot of money you’re probably leaving on the table. Research also shows that it takes an average of seven exposures to your business before prospects will make a purchase decision. It’s of the utmost importance, therefore, to explore a way that will help you get repeat interactions with your site visitors.
How can you do this, however, if most visitors leave and never return?
The answer, of course, is to get visitors to give you their details while they’re still on your site, so you can continue to communicate with them after they have exited your web 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 building a list is essential, because it is the key to repeat visitors and relationship-building.
Now … there are many different ways and effective strategies to build an opt-in list, but until now, it was very difficult to find one easy-to-use solution that integrates most of the most effective methods available to capture email addresses on a website.

All-In-One List Building Strategies For Boosting Conversions
Thrive Leads integrates the following list-building strategies into one easy-to-use solution:
Design & Deploy
The Thrive Leads plugin provides dozens of built-in professionally-designed and web optimized form templates that you can fully customize to suit your needs, with no technical skills required.
Simple “point and click” technology and a visual editor lets you easily create, modify and customize your forms …
Split Testing Engine
A/B testing is the quickest way to increase your conversion rate 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 the following:
Test Different Form Designs And Content
The Thrive Leads plugin lets you test different designs and content, and provides an “automatic winner” feature that allows you to set the plugin to automatically eliminate the losing variations, and display only the highest converting tests after enough data has been collected.
You just start testing and the plugin takes care of the rest, automatically picking the best performers and hiding the losing variations over time.
Test Multiple Form Triggers
Thrive Leads lets you easily customize when and how your forms should appear to visitors.
For example, you can set up:
- Time-based triggers to show a buy button on your screen after 5 minutes
- Scroll-depth triggers where a message appears once your visitor scrolls down at least 40% of the page
- Exit-intent triggers that detect when someone is about to exit the page and presents them with a pop-up form.
Furthermore, you can also test if a form should display instantly, or animate into view (e.g. slide in). You can test many triggers against one another to further increase conversion rates.
A/B Test Different Form Types
The Thrive Leads plugin also lets you test different form types. For example, you can test a widget form on your sidebar vs an in-line form and see which type of form creates better results for your business.
Split-Test Entirely Different Offers
Thrive Leads even lets you see how different offers compare against one another.
For example, you can connect different forms to different email campaigns to help you determine which delivers the best conversion rates for your business.
(Split-test different offers)
Not only does the Thrive Leads plugin give you enormous flexibility when it comes to split-testing your opt-ins, but you can easily duplicate an existing form – even make multiple copies of a form, then edit the element(s) you want to test and instantly start running your A/B split test again, and and you can do all this with just a few mouse clicks.
Additional features of Thrive Leads 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 types of offers — even specific designs — will display in your site based on certain rules you set (e.g. a lightbox pop-up on all Posts), including which post types, archive pages, etc. or, conversely, where to exclude forms from displaying on your site.
You can even create highly relevant offers to show to the right segments of your audience at a precise time. 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 Form Features Supported

We Recommend
Building a list is an essential aspect of building a successful online business. When it comes to growing a mailing list, the only way to increase the speed your list grows is by running A/B tests and then analyze your performance to find out what really works best on your site. Thrive Leads makes available to WordPress users a very powerful tool that, until recently, only marketing professionals had access to, and at great expense.
With Thrive Leads, you have 100% control over exactly where and how your opt-in forms show to visitors, and intelligent reporting that helps you improve 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 functionality, such as enable the user to create and add popups to their website. Thrive Leads starts with this kind of functionality, but the real focus of the plugin 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!”
