We all know as marketers, we want to communicate with our customers to know what they want. The more we are in communication with them presenting them with valuable material, the stronger your community will be of dedicated customers. Did you know there are some easy steps you can take to help increase the rate at which people sign up for your mailing list?
Sites which include an email form in the first three fields to fill out on a checkout saw an increase of 14.6% in email capture rates.
WebsItes which use one checkout page capture email addresses at a rate of 16.7% higher than those with two or more pages for checkout.
Signup forms with fewer fields to fill out capture emails much better than those with more. While it’s helpful to have more information on each subscriber, that first interaction they have with you to join your list should be a very easy one. One study saw an increase in email capture of 28% when they decreased the form fields from five to four.
Required fields can be helpful but think twice about making the phone number required. One company saw a 275% increase in email capture when they didn’t have the phone number field required. If that field is not mandatory for your business, try making it an optional field to see if it can work for you.

Linkedin is consistently growing and a must have for all career driven professionals. As the site has grown, the ability to customize has also expanded. If you haven’t noticed, go into your own profile and you will see a spot at the top to add a top header photo. You may not think of Linkedin as a place to be “artistic” or colorful even. This is your time to set your profile apart from the many others on the site.
Linkedin gives you some possible headers to choose from or to upload your own. When you’re designing the header banner, make sure it is a jpeg, png, or gif that is less than 4 MB in size. The dimensions are 1400 X 425. One important part is the top part of your profile with your profile image is sitting over this header. When you’re designing the header, leave space in the middle-bottom part as it will be covered by the profile.
This is the time for you to have a strong personal brand. This represents you. It can give you the exposure to help make a great first impression.
