Incorporating a MailChimp signup form into your Facebook page is an effective strategy for expanding your email subscriber list and interacting with your followers. This guide will walk you through the steps of setting up a signup form in MailChimp and integrating it into your Facebook page.
Step 1: Create a Signup Form on MailChimp
The first step is to create a signup form on MailChimp. To do this, log in to your MailChimp account and click on “Lists” in the top navigation bar. Then, select the list you want to add subscribers to and click on “Signup Forms” in the drop-down menu.
Embedded Form
On the next page, you will see different options for creating a signup form. We recommend using the “Embedded Form” option as it allows you to customize the form and embed it on your Facebook page.
Customize Your Form
Once you have selected the “Embedded Form” option, you can customize the form by adding fields such as first name, last name, email address, etc. You can also add a message to encourage people to sign up for your newsletter.
Copy the Embed Code
After customizing your form, you will see an “Embed Code” section on the page. Copy the code in this section as we will need it later.
Step 2: Add the Signup Form to Your Facebook Page
Now that you have created a signup form on MailChimp, it’s time to add it to your Facebook page. To do this, log in to your Facebook account and go to your business page.
Add the Signup Form as a Tab
On your Facebook page, click on “Settings” in the top navigation bar and then select “Templates and Tabs.” From there, you will see an option to add a new tab. Click on it and select “Custom HTML” from the drop-down menu.
Paste the Embed Code
In the “HTML” box, paste the embed code that you copied from MailChimp earlier. Make sure to adjust the width and height of the form to fit your Facebook page’s layout.
Save Your Changes
Once you have pasted the embed code and made any necessary adjustments, click on “Save” in the top right corner. Your MailChimp signup form is now live on your Facebook page!
