You've crafted an amazing email sign-up form, but no one is signing up!
This might help you if you're asking "𝘽𝙪𝙩 𝙬𝙝𝙮?"...
Now, before we get to a few tips, remember that this is a frustration that many marketing teams experience.
You have a great incentive to join and you're spending money to promote your page too, but have you considered the sign-up form itself? This could be a big reason why no one's signing up to your email list.
To get this right, here are 5 questions to ask yourself (with a few stats to back these too):
👀 𝗜𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴? According to a study by Google, users judge a website's visual appeal within 1/50th to 1/20th of a second.
This means that a visually appealing landing page is essential.
Besides looking good, you also have to keep it simple. A study by HubSpot found that pages with simple designs have higher conversion rates.
🎁 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁 & 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲? Clearly stating the benefits of signing up is critical for turning visitors into subscribers.
According to a study by MarketingSherpa, 60% of consumers sign up for emails to receive discounts and promotions. A study by Campaign Monitor also found that adding an incentive to a sign-up form can increase conversion rates by 50%.
⚠️ 𝗗𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹-𝘁𝗼-𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (𝗖𝗧𝗔)? Your CTA should be clearly displayed, with action-oriented words that clearly state what visitors need to do to sign up.
According to Unlayer, using first-person CTA copy such as "𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘮𝘺 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘭" can increase conversion rates by 90%.
📵 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗲? With more than half of all internet traffic coming from mobile devices, optimising your landing page for mobile is a no-brainer.
According to a study by Litmus, 46% of email opens occur on mobile devices, which is why your sign-up page needs to be mobile-friendly.
🧪 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻-𝘂𝗽 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺? A/B testing is your friend. By creating two versions of your form and testing them against each other, you can test different variables such as the length, different form fields, and your button placement.
According to a study by Formstack, A/B testing can improve sign-up rates by an average of 49%.
You can do a few more things to help improve sign-ups to your email database, but these are a starting point if you're struggling to get folks signing up.
