Growing a Quality Subscriber List

Effective email subscription growth focuses on quality, not quantity:

  • Double opt-in ensures valid, engaged subscribers and better deliverability.
  • Offer relevant incentives—discounts, downloads, early access—to entice sign-ups.
  • Use inline forms (pop-ups, footer, checkout), powered by Clerk.io forms or API, for seamless email capture.

Growing a trusted, permission-based list is crucial for long-term success.

Segmenting Subscribers with AI

After collecting emails, segmentation is key:

  • Clerk.io automatically tags subscribers (e.g., VIPs, category lovers, at-risk buyers) based on behavior and purchase history.
  • Segments update in real-time—no manual work needed.
  • Segmented emails always perform better: more opens, clicks, and conversions.

Flow TypePurposeWelcome Series Introduce brand & incentive to new subscribers. Abandoned Browse/Cart Re-engage with products left behind.
