Adding an email newsletter sign up form to your site is a great way to grow your website’s following and to keep your website visitors interested in your site or product. And now you can easily add and customize newsletter sign up forms directly in your designs.
New in Page Builder Sandwich is the Newsletter Element (check the short gif above). Now you can add a newsletter sign up form for your MailChimp, AWeber or MailPoet newsletter lists directly into your designs.
通常，您必须安装另一个插件，然后可能在某处添加简码，或者必须通过弹出窗口填写一些字段，又或者必须设置一个小工具才能使简讯订阅表单正常工作。现在，添加简讯订阅表单的所有复杂操作都不复存在了。只需在页面上添加简讯元素（Newsletter Element），填入您的邮件列表 API 密钥，它就能立即生效。
您只需点击电子邮件输入框（可更改其颜色、大小、边框等），或点击按钮（可添加图标、更改按钮大小，甚至可以将其设置为仅在访客开始输入电子邮件地址时才显示），即可进一步自定义订阅表单。您可以完全自定义外观以契合您的设计风格。想要输入框在用户键入时变色？使用拾色器即可轻松实现。需要极简设计，输入框仅显示边框？完全没问题！
很棒的一点是，简讯元素不会打断用户在您网站上的浏览流程。一旦他们订阅，页面不会刷新，订阅表单将直接替换为“感谢”消息。此消息及其颜色也同样支持自定义。
与 Page Builder Sandwich 的其他功能一样，您可以将全新的简讯订阅表单放置在任何您喜欢的位置，只需将其拖入行内或其他位置即可。
邮件列表重要吗？
简短的回答是：重要。正如拥有 Twitter 账号时其他 Twitter 用户可以直接“关注”您并看到您的推文一样，邮件列表就是访客通过电子邮件关注您网站的方式。
还没有邮件列表？
If you don’t have a mailing list yet, now is a good time to get started. Getting a newsletter service like MailChimp or AWeber is good since they do the heavy lifting of managing your subscribers and blasting an email to your subscribers easily. They also have newsletter builders that will let you create a newsletter campaign easily. The good thing is they have free plans, so you won’t need to shell out cash in order to try it out.
If you’re more of a I-like-to-handle-it-myself guy or gal, then you might consider using MailPoet. It’s downloadable free from wordpress.org and they have a paid model as well. With MailPoet, you’ll be able to see your subscribers within your dashboard and you can also send out emails from there. It’s easy to use as well and just takes literally less than 5 minutes to fully set up in your site (Yes, I’ve tried).
