Everything will be automatic.
In this post, we are going to show you how can you integrate Formidable Forms with Campaign Monitor – a popular email marketing solution. So, let’s see how it can be done!
Why You Need To Build An Email List?
No matter you run a small business website, offering a service or a personal blog. You might want to start building an email list. For example, let’s say that you are developing WordPress plugins and selling through your website. So, when a customer visits your website, he might be interested in your product.
Not 100%. He might be double-minded.
If you can collect his email address through pop-ups or any forms, he will stay as your email subscriber. You can easily send email newsletters, blog posts, discount codes, etc to him. And doing it, you can easily increase your blog’s traffic, conversions, and revenue. Simple, isn’t it?
Most million-dollar businesses are doing this and it is working! So, email marketing is no more optional.
In the Formidable Forms Lite version plugin, you will not get this feature. You might want to consider purchasing the premium version for unlocking the real power.

For the Campaign Monitor add-on, you may want to purchase the Business plan. They do offer 14-days money-back guarantee. So if you are not completely satisfied with the product, you can easily ask for a refund. But, I’m sure that you will love the plugin.
