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.

Engaging Subscribers via Smart Automations

With Clerk.io, you can automate crucial email flows:

Flow TypePurposeWelcome Series Introduce brand & incentive to new subscribers. Abandoned Browse/Cart Re-engage with products left behind. Back-in-stock / Price Alert Notify interested users when items return or drop in price. Regular Newsletters Keep subscribers engaged with curated content or offers.

Each flow uses AI-enhanced product recommendations for real-time relevance.

Research shows automated recommendation emails can drive 4× more revenue compared to untargeted blasts. With Clerk.io:

• Blocks use item purchase predictions, trending picks, bestsellers.
