Newsletter registration form: some tips.

The processes of voluntary subscription to newsletters found on the Internet are all different. Review of some good practices that will help you not to annoy your potential subscribers:

1. Provide a simple form on your homepage asking only for the e-mail address;
2. After validation of the form on the homepage, display a confirmation message directly and provide an optional form requesting additional information;
3. Do not link the subscription to the newsletter to a membership status which would require a password and a lot of other information;
4. Send a welcome email to the newsletter within minutes of registration;
5. In the html code, use standard field names (mail, name, firstname...) to enable auto-completion on the browser side;
6. Ask only for the minimum information in the registration forms, i.e. name, first name, email, gender. If you want more information, create contests!
7. Only ask for the date of birth if you are planning an interesting action to celebrate your members' birthday;
8. Respect your (future) subscribers!
