Key Takeaways

• Setting up a Mailchimp account is the first step in creating a popup form in WordPress.
• Customizing the popup form to match the branding of the website is important for a cohesive user experience.
• Using a time delay for the popup form can be effective in capturing visitors’ attention at the right moment.
• Integrating Mailchimp with WordPress can be done using a plugin, which allows for easy management of the popup form and customization options.

Setting up Mailchimp Account

To set up your Mailchimp account, we’ll begin by navigating to the Mailchimp website and clicking on the ‘Sign Up’ button.

Once on the site, you can easily create signup forms using Mailchimp’s form builder. Mailchimp offers various types of forms, including the Pop-Up Signup Form, Embedded Signup Form, and more. These forms can be customized to match your site’s branding and can be set to appear automatically for visitors.

After signing up for a Mailchimp account, you can start building your email list and creating your audience. Mailchimp provides a pop-up form builder that allows you to design and customize how the pop-up will appear on your site. By using the pop-up form, you can control when and how the pop-up appears to your visitors, making it less intrusive.

Additionally, Mailchimp allows you to automatically create signup forms for your audience, making the process of collecting email addresses seamless.

Once your Mailchimp account is set up, you’ll be ready to integrate the signup forms into your website and start growing your email list.

Creating the Popup Form

When creating the Mailchimp popup form, consider using a time delay to ensure it appears at an opportune moment for visitors. Adding a time delay before the pop-up form appears can help prevent it from interrupting the user experience.

In WordPress, Mailchimp provides an easy way to embed subscriber pop-up forms on your website. To create the pop-up form, go to the Mailchimp dashboard, navigate to the ‘Audience’ tab, and select ‘Signup Forms’. Then, choose the ‘Subscriber pop-up’ form type and customize it to match your website’s branding. You can also set the time delay for when the pop-up form should appear, ensuring it doesn’t immediately disrupt the visitor’s browsing experience.

Additionally, the design, form fields, and trigger settings can be personalized to help maximize the effectiveness of the pop-up form. By creating and customizing a Mailchimp pop-up form with a time delay, you can help ensure that it provides value to visitors and encourages them to subscribe without being intrusive.

Generating Popup Code

Using a suitable plugin or Mailchimp blocks, the pop-up code can be easily generated for your website.

To make a Mailchimp pop-up form, start by logging into your Mailchimp account and navigating to the ‘Audience’ tab. Then, click on ‘Signup forms’ and select ‘Subscriber pop-up’.

Next, customize the form fields and design to ensure the pop-up signup form works best for your website. Mailchimp provides a guide to help you edit the form and tailor it to your specific needs.

Once you’re satisfied with the design and settings, Mailchimp will generate the code for your pop-up form. For websites with plugin support, the Insert Headers and Footers plugin is recommended to embed the signup form code into the website’s head section.

If your website doesn’t support plugins, Mailchimp blocks can be used to incorporate the pop-up form. Remember to set the pop-up to appear after a certain time, as recommended, and utilize the help articles provided by Mailchimp for further assistance in generating and customizing the pop-up code.

Adding Code to WordPress

After generating the code for your Mailchimp pop-up form, the next step is to seamlessly add it to your WordPress website using a suitable plugin or Mailchimp blocks.

When adding the code to WordPress, consider the following steps:

• Utilize a WordPress Plugin: Look for a reliable WordPress plugin that supports Mailchimp integration. Install and activate the plugin, then follow the plugin’s instructions to connect your site to Mailchimp and add the pop-up signup form.
• Use Mailchimp Blocks: If your website doesn’t support plugins, you can utilize Mailchimp blocks to add the pop-up form. Simply navigate to the Integrations page on Mailchimp, connect your site, and use the Mailchimp block to add the embedded signup form directly within your WordPress editor.
• Customize the Appearance: After adding the pop-up form, ensure it appears at the desired time to enhance user experience. Additionally, customize the form’s appearance and behavior directly within Mailchimp without the need to edit the code again.

Customizing Popup Display

To customize the popup display, adjust the timing and frequency to ensure it appears after a specific period, rather than immediately. This allows the audience to engage with your website before the popup appears, increasing the likelihood of subscription. In addition, customizing the form design and content, including fonts, colors, and layout, is essential for aligning with your website’s branding and capturing the audience’s attention. Utilize triggers such as scrolling, exit intent, or specific actions to control when the popup form displays, ensuring it appears at the most opportune moments. Implement A/B testing to optimize the performance of the popup form, enabling you to determine the most effective design and messaging for your audience. Lastly, utilize analytics tools to track the effectiveness of the popup form and make data-driven decisions for continuous improvements.
