In a good and comprehensive marketing strategy, email marketing campaigns are essential. Both reaching new customers and staying in touch with those who have already tried our products or services are essential for a business to thrive and achieve the desired results.
For this purpose, the most powerful tool on the market is Mailchimp.
One of the most common and simple ways to increase our audience is to create a periodic newsletter that any user can subscribe to receive our content in their email. Mailchimp has the necessary tools for you to easily create a subscription form that you can embed in any section of your website.
However, HTML code can be somewhat daunting, and many WordPress website owners seek the help of plugins.
A plugin is a small complementary program that extends the functions of a website. Plugins are very useful because they do not require programming knowledge or the need to create code. They are convenient because they can be downloaded directly from the Internet and installed on Mailchimp. Although the main problem with plugins is that being complementary programs, they can slow down the hosting’s performance, present incompatibilities with our template or with other plugins, or serve as a gateway for malware if they are not updated.
The safest and most effective option is to create a form directly from the Mailchimp platform, and in this article, we explain how to do it properly. It is important to note that the option to create a form requires a subscription to Mailchimp in order to use some of the more sophisticated functions and components offered by the platform by default.
