"Build an email capture popup-style section with a compelling headline, brief description of what subscribers get, and email signup form"

Viewing Your Subscribers

All email signups are collected automatically:

Exporting Subscribers

Need to use your list in an email marketing tool?

The CSV export includes:

Email Signup Best Practices

Offer Value

Tell people what they'll get:

• "Get weekly design tips"
• "Be the first to know about new products"
• "Exclusive discounts for subscribers"

Keep It Simple

• Email-only forms convert best
• Don't ask for too much information upfront
• Make the button text action-oriented ("Subscribe", "Get Updates", "Join")

Strategic Placement

Consider adding signup forms to:

• Your homepage hero section
• The footer (appears on every page)
• End of blog posts or content pages
• A dedicated "Subscribe" page

Manage Expectations

• Tell subscribers how often you'll email
• Mention you won't share their email
• Consider adding a privacy note

Integrating with Email Tools

While Framekit collects subscribers, you'll want to use an email marketing tool to send campaigns:

Export your list from Framekit

Import into your email tool (Mailchimp, ConvertKit, Buttondown, etc.)

Set up automation in your email tool

Regularly export new subscribers to keep lists synced

For real-time sync, consider using Zapier or similar automation tools to connect Framekit submissions to your email platform.
