Newsletters

Use newsletters to bring members back to your community with regular email updates.

How newsletters work

Newsletters help members return to your community. HelloBox can send email updates to subscribers and members at the frequency they choose: weekly, fortnightly, or monthly.

Built-in or external newsletter

You can use the built-in newsletter system or send visitors to an external service such as Mailchimp. Use the built-in system when you want HelloBox to manage subscriptions and send community updates. Use an external service when your mailing list already lives elsewhere.

Newsletter call to action

The newsletter call to action prompts visitors to subscribe. If a visitor dismisses it, HelloBox waits before showing it again, so the prompt stays useful without becoming disruptive.

Keep the promise clear
Tell visitors what they will receive and how often. Specific newsletter promises usually convert better than generic “subscribe for updates” text.
