Startups should spend the time to build an email list, there is no better way to keep contact with your prospective customers. A lot of people don’t like popups forms however they are the most effective way to grow your list.
A year ago trying to find a way to get help grow your newsletter was a pain to organise. Basically you had to work out how to get Javascript code to launch a popup and capture emails for you.
Now we have a bunch of 3rd party systems that provide similar functions, we use Sumo.me and its pretty good but the one thing none of these guy have got right is integrating and connecting their data with other parts of your marketing systems.
Its good they connect to a few email newsletter systems but there are no connectors to CRMs or system such as Zappier or IFFT or integrate to your WordPress install.
No one has managed to get the Newsletter system, email address capture and CRM and social network data capture working together they are still all islands.
PS Mailchimp is not a great solution for WordPress users, trying to get new articles from Wordpress can’t be done automatically, its a manual cut and paste job.
