How to Create High-Converting Constant Contact Pop Ups for FREE

Do you find it challenging and expensive to invest in different tools for the hopes of growing your email list?

If yes, I guess you still haven’t utilized the power of easy-to-implement pop ups.

Although there are quite a few that you can also use without having to shed many resources, some often demand hiring experts to implement them.

Whether you admit it or not, your email list is the backbone of your email marketing strategy. Without a strong email list, you won’t have potential customers to see what you’re offering. Most especially your promotional deals, discounts, holiday giveaways, and more.

In fact, according to Direct Marketing Association, email marketing is responsible for the 4300% return on investment for businesses in the United States. Likewise, stats show that every $1 spent on email marketing generates a $44.25 ROI.

Hence, an email list greatly impacts sales, brand awareness, and customer retention. Not doing much to strengthen email lists would be a loss for businesses in one way or the other.

Succeeding in email marketing might be a steep climb at first, but not when you have reliable software to do the work for you.

One of the most popular in the email marketing industry is Constant Contact. 

What is Constant Contact?

Most of the Constant Contact features are necessary for better engagement, boosting sales, generating awareness on other marketing platforms, and more depending on your goals. It even has its own website builder so it’s totally an all-in-one solution.

Now, you have email marketing tools. But, for you to gather more people to get into your email list, you need a whole new strategy.

That’s where you can integrate the magic of email pop ups.

Why email pop ups?

Borrowing the words from Backlinko Founder Brian Dean, “Love ‘em or hate ‘em, pop-ups work.”, it seems like experts like him can’t deny the fact that pop ups are effective conversion channels.

Email pop ups are easy-to-implement marketing tools that have been widely used to opt in visitors to an email subscription list.

With email popups, you can create enticing offerings in exchange for their email addresses. This way, you won’t just explode your list while also providing a good user experience for website visitors.

For instance, with just a simple email pop-up, Brian Dean was able to boost his subscribers from 35 to 75 per day, with an increase in the email conversion rate by 3.42%.

Connecting these email popups to your Constant Contact account means you can enjoy seamless email marketing integration. For more effective conversions, you can even segment your list and create targeted email campaigns to attract them.

Setting up your display rules

Once you’re satisfied with your design and have fully integrated your Constant Contact pop up with your email marketing account, you can now move on with the display rules.

In this part, you have two important things to note.

First is the triggers. These allow you to display your pop up at just the right time, mostly based on user behavior. Setting your trigger right gives you the power to show your message without being a distraction to the visitor experience, resulting in better conversions.

In this particular example, I set the trigger to 30% page scroll because we’re offering downloadable content. We want the visitors to get a grasp and a sneak peek of our content first, then we’ll surprise them with more.

You can also use other triggers that you think may deem necessary and fit to your target audience. Nonetheless, there’s A/B testing to help you pinpoint the right tactic.

The other important element is the targeting options. This allows you to attract the right website visitors. Like the triggers, setting them accurately is the key to getting more qualified email subscribers.
