Currently we run our emails and email list through Constant Contact(CC), and we are looking to add a newsletter popup signup form that is seen on most sites nowadays. However the Sign-up Forms through CC are very bland and we are not able to change the design of how it looks, which makes us not want to use CC anymore. Our email list is around ~8k and we only send a few emails per month. We are wondering if there are better options to be using other than CC for more customizable forms, email list management and things like that out there. We know of mailchimp, sendinblue, klaviyo, but we are not sure which one exactly to use and were hoping to get some feedback or opinions?
Topic summary
Seeking a customizable newsletter pop-up for a Shopify homepage, the store currently uses Constant Contact but finds its sign-up forms too limited. List size is ~8k; only a few campaigns are sent monthly. They’re considering switching (Mailchimp, Sendinblue, Klaviyo) and requested feedback.
Suggested options:
- Keep Constant Contact and add a pop-up via a third-party app: “ConstantContact Customer Popup.”
- Use a dedicated pop-up tool that integrates with most email platforms: Rivo Popups – Email Popups.
- Choose an email marketing app that includes pop-ups natively: Privy (pop-ups, email, SMS).
- Other solid email platforms: Klaviyo, Mailchimp, Omnisend; many may still require a separate pop-up app like Rivo.
Support guidance: For third-party apps, contact developers directly via the app listing.
Status: No decision yet; the responder asked for more details about the business and whether a broader marketing plan is in place. Discussion remains open.
Hey, @DM_7 .
Thanks for reaching out and posting this question!
It looks like there’s an app, called ConstantContact Customer Popup, which allows you to add a popup with ConstantContact. However, it’s worth noting that this app is made by a different third-party developer. On the other hand, you can also consider integrating a third-party app designed to add email signups, such as Rivo Popups - Email Popups, which you can use with any email marketing integration. However, if you’re looking for an email marketing app that comes included with a popup, then you can consider something like Privy - Pop Ups, Email, and SMS.
As for the other options that you’ve mentioned, they are all solid options so the difference will come down to your own preference. However, since the majority of them doesn’t come with a popup, then you may also want to consider integrating them with Rivo Popups. If you need any assistance with a third-party app, then you can get help with directly from the developer - simply reach out to them directly through the contact information found on their app’s page.
I’d love to hear more about your business! What kinds of products are you selling? In addition to email marketing, do you have a marketing plan prepared for your store?
