Build Your SMS and Email List

Use a Sidebar campaign to grow your list with subscribers who want Black Friday updates by email and SMS. It’s perfect for reaching them the moment your sale goes live.

Why it works

This campaign helps you collect both emails and phone numbers so you can stay top of mind across channels. SMS works especially well for last-minute reminders when every second counts. The Sidebar keeps your message visible without interrupting the shopping experience.

FAQ

Use a popup to build a subscriber list before your sale goes live. This allows you to notify interested shoppers directly via SMS or email as soon as the sale starts.

Email is great for detailed updates, while SMS cuts through the noise with instant reminders. Collecting both ensures you reach shoppers effectively at every touchpoint.

Offer early access to deals, a VIP-only discount, or entry into a giveaway. These perks make sign-up more appealing and increase conversions.

Start at least a few weeks before Black Friday to build momentum. A sidebar popup is perfect for this since it can stay visible longer without interrupting the shopper experience.

Ask for both in one step, but keep the phone number optional. Giving users a choice improves the experience and helps you collect more contacts.

It grows a list of warm leads who asked to hear about your sale. When you notify them, they’re more likely to open, click, and buy compared to cold traffic.

No coding needed. Just customize a ready-made template, add your offer, connect your tools, and set the display settings—all from a user-friendly editor.
