Designing a high-converting popup in Klaviyo

Demo summary
A step-by-step walkthrough of the Klaviyo form builder, showing how to add logos, edit headlines, style input fields, and remove the close 'X' to reduce friction.
Step-by-step
- Select a side image for the form and add descriptive alt text.
- Drag and drop an image block into the form to add a logo.
- Edit the headline to state a simple offer.
- Delete unnecessary sub-headlines or disclaimer blocks to reduce friction.
- Update the email input field placeholder text to 'Enter your email here'.
- Click Edit Styling and change the input field background color to a light gray to make it stand out.
- Update the font styles for headings and input fields to match your brand.
- Change the call to action button text to reflect the benefit of the offer.
- Add a microcopy link underneath the button to provide a secondary 'No thanks' option.
Options
- Split test different variations of headline and button text
- Include or exclude the email marketing disclaimer based on regional privacy laws (US vs. EU)
Watch out for
- Always include alt text for images so users can understand the content if the image fails to load.
Tips
- Use only one input field per step to maximize conversion.
- Avoid using words like 'Subscribe' or 'Sign up' as they create psychological friction.
- Focus on 'what's in it for the audience' in your button text, such as 'Get my discount now'.
- Provide two options (an interesting one and a 'no thanks' one) because users are more likely to make a choice than when presented with a single button.
- Ensure the input field color contrasts with the form background so it is easy to find.
