Grow Your Email List with Mailchimp
Mailchimp is a great choice for starting and managing your email list, and if you want to implement an easy way for website visitors to join your list, then Gravity Forms is an excellent solution.
Once you’ve signed up for one of the free or paid Mailchimp plans, you can use the Gravity Forms Mailchimp Add-On to connect your forms to your Mailchimp account, and send form entries to your email list.
Once synced, you can start using your contact forms, surveys, and other types of forms to generate leads for your business. You can also use Gravity Forms conditional logic to control which form users get added to Mailchimp as well as custom fields to send additional information to Mailchimp.
You can then use the email marketing features of Mailchimp to forge ongoing and stronger relationships with the visitors to your site, including your fans, followers, and customers.
