When it comes to building a subscriber base, it is always interesting which creative elements can be used to attract attention and, of course, get an address for distribution.
On many sites, we can still see a static form for entering email, which is allocated a separate place. Like here:
This approach is devoid of:• interactivity;
• communication with the visitor;
• individual approach;
• ergonomic use of page space;
Service PadiAct , which is devoted to the review, offers a simple way to optimize the work with the database of subscribers.
The widget will help to create an attractive pop-up subscription form with display settings for different categories of site visitors.
')
The service of placing a pop-up window is also available for the mailing services themselves, but this is devoid of meaning without taking into account behavioral factors, which is implemented in PadiAct.
The system is based on the targeting criteria: the source of the transition, the time spent on the site, the last visited pages and others. You just need to specify who should see the form. Then it remains to monitor the campaign, which is activated using the email client's key API.
You can choose one form to show to visitors who are on the site for the first time, another form for regular visitors, or a variety of different forms, chosen depending on which pages the client visited and what actions they took.
Form design
Of course, you can add as many fields to the form as you need, including fields with your headings.

PadiAct can handle the rest by providing instructions on how to add a form to the site, connect a Google Analytics account and so on.
Appearance form settings are made using HTML code, which means unlimited design possibilities. You can use the standard templates. Drag-and-drop editor is not.


Until the moment when you determine the best display options and select, the design can be carried out A / B testing.
Sticky widgetThe second configuration of the widget. The word "sticky" (Russian - sticky) perfectly reflects its main difference: it is a static die with a proposal to subscribe, which is placed on all pages of the site:

After clicking on the widget opens the full form of subscription. There are 4 options for the location of the plate.
The style is set up in the same way: you can use standard styles (there are 3 of them), changing only the text, you can use HTML.
Keeping statistics with GoogleOne of the main advantages of PadiAct is the formation of real-time reports. With the help of Google Analytics, the statistics used in advertising campaigns are reflected in a personal account: the conversion rate from the form, the average time spent on the site, the days with the best and worst indicators.

By default, every time a site visitor interacts with the PadiAct widget, all the details are sent to the Google Analytics account.
All relevant PadiAct reports are always available there:
• number of visitors who were shown the form (Total Displays);
• number of visitors who have subscribed (Subscribed);
• number of visitors who closed the form without entering email (Closed).
PadiAct effectivenessIn an interview with eCommThinkTank.com, founder and CEO of PadiAct Claudiu Murariu explained what he considers the main advantage of a pop up widget.
“What I really like is that the form opens a dialogue between the visitor and the website, a channel is created for communication with the client. After receiving the email address, you can continue to communicate for a long time: not only using the form, but then through the mailing, ”says Claudiu Murariu.
The secret ingredient in the pop up campaign, Claudiu calls targeting: “Targeting is what people do not leave the site as soon as they see a pop up window. If it appears immediately upon entering the site, most visitors will not even read the message, as it is distracting. On the other hand, if a subscription is offered without any obvious benefits and advantages, the indicators will also be low. ”
The PadiAct website in the
Customer Stories section presents the most effective campaigns.
Duplicate one of the cases:
