Opt-in forms best practices how to implement on your website and collect emails properly for the 

future campaign.

What are the rules you should follow to implement them and we will explain you in two scenarios

Scenario # 1 (Own custom email marketing system with mailwizz)

Scenario # 2 (Using MailChimp )

There are five different examples of opt-in forms.

  • Stimulate and Motivate (Download Button).
  • Direct and tell them what they will get (Download ebook).
  • Top bar appears.
  • Shoe stimulates curiosity.
  • Landing Page
1: Stimulate and Motivate (Download Button).

We can use to grab attention and collect more emails and build the email lists. Best example is 

download button. When you are open a website after 5 to 7 sec the opt-in form will appear so anyone 

can subscribe to the newsletter you can see “Get free tip and tricks for our email subscribers


So this somehow simulates curiosity and motivates people to subscribe to the newsletter so this is 

the first step.

2: Direct and tell them what they will get (Download ebook):

The second pop-up or second example is simple Opt-in form for download. Show an image of what 

people are going to get if they subscribe which is the lead magnet.

Subscriber can download the “Email marketing Guide step by step” by AM – Academy. When they 

enter the name and the email they will download the e-book.


The second tip is to be direct and clear what people are going to get it's very important so people will 

know what we'll get when they subscribe.

To add an image in the opt-in form. Image of the lead magnet is very important to grab attention.

3: Top bar appears (Opt in form)

Another example of a perfect opt-in box let's go to the third example. Some website have top bar 

opt-in form. This is really awesome and really grabs attention when someone reading an article or 

suddenly a top bar appears with a little sound and tell the reader hey Subscribe to our newsletter 

to get  50% off .

50% Off

We are being direct what subscriber will get and subscriber can simply subscribe now to get this 50% 

discount and the fourth tip for you is this note. Privacy policy this information will not be hurt for third 

parties so this statement is also very important for a lot of people so they can feel secured when they 

enter the information that this information will not be shared with any one.

 4: Opt-In form (Shoe stimulates curiosity)

 Go to the fourth example click on preview and this is also one of the best examples of optimal that 

you can implement it is direct what a free shoe stimulates curiosity and the image of the shoe.


We can see “we love to help you, we don’t allow to spammer to subscribe” this somehow gives trust 

and for newsletter.

The important tip to get more subscribers and is a privacy policy statement it says we hate spam 

integrating it with both mailwizz and MailChimp.
