How Does It Work?

List building works by using a wide variety of tactics and strategies to convince people to give you their email address. This incentive can be anything of value to the user, such as an eBook download, a discount code, an invitation to an insider program, or an invitation to join a newsletter where you send content updates straight to the user’s email inbox

Once they submit their email address, the user becomes an email lead, a truly valuable asset for your business because then you can start using email marketing strategies to further move that lead down your sales funnel.

What’s more, once a user makes a purchase after joining your list, you can start sending them even more targeted offers based on their own purchase and other inbox behaviours.
