Sign Up Boxes and Lead Forms, Still an Absolute Necessity

Sign up boxes and lead forms are older than the internet and yet made the shift to the digital world with adapted success!

 

Lead forms are similar to the original lead box at all those pizza places Only now, they try to get your attention when you visit a website Sign up boxes are like the polite version of a pop up ad

 

Do you remember the collection boxes asking for business cards at restaurants, or those cardboard boxes that asked you fill out a paper form and tuck it into the box for the chance to win a free month to the local gym? In the pre-digital age, these types of lead boxes at resturants was a very popular marketing tool for health clubs to gather contact information by offering something free. 

 

They Work Even Better Now

Just like the gym membership, today many lead forms make you an offer, hoping to get your email address. Lead boxes (alternately called lead forms, sign-up forms, sign-up boxes, web forms, or registration forms) are forms on your website that gather customers' contact information.When we visit a webpage we are encouraged to fill out these lead boxes with enticements like "enter your email to see your discount", "send us your email to get a free download", or "enter your email for your welcome gift" etc.

 

You recieve a leads contact when:   - Customers visit your website. - They see a pop-up box asking them to give their email address   (to receive a newsletter or promotion) - They fill out the form, supplying email address or a phone number    Once you have their email address, you can send them other emails and marketing

 

Contacts for Your Marketing 

From these sign up boxes you also gain a way to follow up with re-targeting campaigns, or promotions to people who visited your site and showed interest. Without a way to capture their contact info though, you have no way to follow up and close more leads. 

 

 

How Much Money is your Website Making you?

A billboard is like a website in that it can advertise your brand and services, but it can not bring in leads to your sales pipeline. To capture leads, and capitalize on this traffic, a sign up box allows you to ask for their contact information, and get a new lead. Getting this info from your visitors allows you to have a larger pool of leads to follow up with, leading to more opportunity to convert them into customers.
