Email List Growth with Squarespace Forms

Squarespace offers multiple ways to collect email subscribers directly on your website, storing them in Campaign email mailing lists for future marketing efforts.

Key Methods to Collect Subscribers:

  • Newsletter blocks: Add subscription forms anywhere blocks are allowed

  • Checkout forms: Collect subscribers during purchase completion
  • Acuity Scheduling: Gather subscribers during appointment booking
  • Point of Sale: Enable subscriptions during in-person transactions

Storage and Management

Connect each form to a Campaign email mailing list for centralized storage. Important notes:

To receive alerts for new subscribers:

  1. Link newsletter forms to both Squarespace and Google Drive
