How can I let subscribers choose their message frequency?

In this article, we will cover how to give your subscribers the option to choose their message frequency.

Offering your list a chance to receive messages on their own schedule is a great way to engage your active readers. It also gives you the ability to optimize content for each specific audience as soon as they sign up. Using Campaigns, you can set up a sign up form with frequency options and tag subscribers accordingly. 

Step By Step Instructions

1. Once you create a sign up form, click "Create a New Custom Field."
   
   
   
   
2. You will have to name this field. For this example, we'll be using "Frequency." Once named, click "Next."
   
   
   
   
3. Using either Select Box or Radio options, create the options for frequency of sending and the tags for each corresponding campaign.
   
   
   
   Make sure to checkoff for this being "Required" as well. Then click "Save Field."
   
   
   
   
4. Next you will need to create the campaigns for each option. In the example below, we have one for daily, weekly, and monthly sending.
   
   
   
   
5. Match the option we created in the form to each "Tag Applied" trigger.
   
   

Congratulations! Subscribers can now select how often they receive messages which will then trigger the corresponding campaign.  Make sure you set your Wait actions in the campaigns to correspond to the sending frequency you want for each.
