It’s one thing to generate interest when users click through to your business or brand website — it’s something else entirely to capture visitor curiosity enough that they’re willing to register on your site for email updates or newsletters.
In fact,recent datasuggests that the average opt-in rate hovers just under 2% — meaning it takes substantial work for businesses and site owners to convince visitors it’s in their best interests to register their contact information.
Most of your success depends on content: If you consistently serve up compelling, contextually-relevant content on your website, potential customers are more likely to stay and more likely to register for more.
But it’s also critical to design and deploy registration templates that are simple to access, quick to complete and easy on the eyes. If visitors are forced to go hunting for sign-up forms, aren’t sure what information to enter or don’t get confirmation of their registration, even 2% is a generous benchmark.
In this guide, we’ll tackle the ins-and-outs of creating a great registrationform template— and what tools are available to help streamline the process.
