Why use Bloom?

Building an email list is arguably the most important things that you should do when creating a blog or website. Even experts consider not building a list from the start as their biggest blogging mistake.

Having an email list has numerous benefits. Aside from being able to send your latest posts to your subscribers, you can forward your products and services to increase your sales.

In fact, email marketing has become more crucial than ever. According to Litmus, more than half of recipients open their emails using their mobile devices.

For this reason, the need to use a lead generation tool to attract more signups and subscribers is at an all-time high. It’s not enough to use an email marketing campaign because it only manages the messages you sent out. Therefore, to boost the chances of your visitors signing up for your newsletters, an attractive, eye-catching , email opt-in form is in order.

This need is filled out by Bloom. If you have yet to find the right opt-in plugin for you, then you should consider using this up-and-coming lead generation tool.
