Successful marketers understand the power of mailing lists.
This is because a list gives you traffic on call and access to repeat sales.
It’s a well-known fact that, on average, 50%-80% of web visitors who leave will never return. That’s a lot of money to leave behind. Research also shows that it takes an average of seven interactions with your business before prospects will make a purchase decision. It’s so important, therefore, to find ways that will help you get repeat interactions with site visitors.
How can you do this, however, if most visitors leave and never return?
The answer, of course, is to get your visitors’ contact details while they’re visiting your website, so you can build a relationship after they leave 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 the most powerful and constant source of profit of your entire online business.
If you sell one or more products on your website, or your business relies having a constant source of traffic, then list-building is essential, because it is the key to having access to repeat visitors and building a relationship.
Now … there are many different ways and effective strategies to build an opt-in list, but until recently, it was very hard to find one solution that takes advantage of almost, if not all types of list-building methods available for capturing email addresses on a website.

Features
Thrive Leads provides many great features to web site owners. Here are just a few of these:
Quick And Simple To Install And Configure
Be up and running in minutes. As already mentioned, ThriveThemes provides extensive training content and tutorials, case studies, webinars, and a responsive support team.
This tool not only integrates 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 campaigns via your own WordPress admin user section.
Integrated List Building Strategies
Thrive Leads integrates all of the list-building strategies you need to boost your conversions into one easy-to-use software:
Design And Deploy
Thrive Leads provides dozens of professionally-designed and web optimized form templates that can be fully customized to suit your needs, letting you build conversion-boosting opt-in forms 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 A/B Testing Engine
A/B testing is the fastest way to boost your conversion rate and speed up the growth of your list.
Thrive Leads comes with a powerful A/B testing engine built into the plugin that makes it easy to test a whole range of variables, including the following:
Split-Test Designs And Content
Thrive Leads lets you test different opt-in form designs and content, and provides a “set and forget” feature that automatically eliminates the test variations that aren’t performing, and continue displaying only the campaigns that convert well after sufficient data has been gathered.
You simply start your test and the plugin will handle the rest, automatically increasing conversion rates over time.
Split-Test Form Triggers
Thrive Leads lets you customize when and how your forms should appear to visitors.
For example, you can set up:
- Time-based triggers to show an offer on your screen after 1 minutes
- Scroll-depth triggers where a message will appear only when the visitor scrolls down at least 50% 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 appear instantly, or animate into view (e.g. slide in). You can test multiple triggers against one another to further boost your conversion rate.
Split-Test Different Form Types
Thrive Leads also lets you run split-tests on different opt-in form types. For example, you can test a widget form on your sidebar vs an in-line form to see which type of form performs better for your business.
Split-Test Entirely Different Offers
The Thrive Leads plugin even lets you see how different offers perform against one another.
For example, you can connect different forms to different autoresponder lists to help you determine which offers deliver the best conversion results 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 also easily duplicate 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 this all in just a few minutes.
Additional features of the Thrive Leads plugin include:
Advanced Targeting Features
You can create hyper-targeted offers for your visitors with three targeting levels (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 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 Pages), 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 show to the right segments of your audience at precisely the right 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 Forms Supported

We Recommend
Building a list is an essential aspect of building a successful online business. When it comes to growing a targeted mailing list, the only way to increase the speed your list grows is by running split-tests and find out what really works best on your site. Thrive Leads makes available to WordPress users a powerful tool that, until recently, only marketing professionals had access to, and at great expense.
With Thrive Leads, you have complete control over exactly where and how your opt-in forms are shown to visitors, and intelligent reporting that helps you improve 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 focus more on functionality, such as enable users to create and add popups to their web pages. 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!”
