how to add email preferences for customers?

I want to give my customers an option to choose what type of emails they want to receive. How can I make a page where they can basically select their email preferences and it will update their customer profile so I can segment them when sending emails. Anyone know how I can do this? 

my site is https://alanrichardtextiles.com

Hey Alanrichardtex, 

Heddy from Gameball here.
If you want to let customers pick what kinds of emails they get, here's a straightforward way to do it:

  • Create a new page on your site, maybe call it "Email Preferences" or something like that.
  • Use a form builder app like Klaviyo or Mailchimp. These apps let you create a form where people can check off what they want to receive.
  • When they submit the form, it’ll automatically update their profile in your email list.
  • Add a link to this page in your email footers or somewhere in their account area so they can easily find it.
  • Once that's done, you can send out emails based on what they said they’re interested in.

Hope this helps!

To add email preferences for customers, you can:

  1. Create a Preferences Page: Add a page to your site where customers can select their email preferences.
  2. Store Preferences: Use a form to capture these preferences and store them in your customer database.
  3. Update Profiles: Ensure the form updates the customer profiles with their chosen preferences.
  4. Segment Emails: Use the stored preferences to segment and send targeted emails.

You might use tools like Mailchimp, Klaviyo, or a custom solution based on your site's platform.
