🚀How to Create a High Converting Popup Form in 2025

Your Popup Is either Building Your List or Blowing Your Chances

Hey, it’s Ray.

Let me ask you this:

When’s the last time you looked at your popup form and thought, "Yeah, this is actually helping my email strategy”?

Most brands slap a form on their site, toss in “10% off,” and call it a day.

But in 2025, that doesn’t cut it.

👉 Your popup is the very first touchpoint in your email funnel.
👉 It’s the moment someone says, “Yes, I want to hear more from you.”
👉 And it’s either attracting quality subscribers or repelling them.

That’s why I just dropped a brand new YouTube tutorial where I walk you through how to create a high-converting popup form that works.

Whether you’re starting out or scaling fast, this one tweak can change your entire email performance.

Why Popups Still Matter (and How a Few Tweaks Can 2X Your Results)

We’ve reviewed hundreds of ecommerce setups, and one thing’s clear:

Most brands underestimate how much impact a well-optimized popup form can make.

Across industries, the average email signup rate sits between 1.95% and 4.77%. 

That might not sound like a big gap… but that 3% difference?

It’s often the line between mediocre list growth and a top-performing funnel.

Here’s what research shows:

  • Forms with 3 fields convert best, averaging 10%, according to Omnisend

  • Asking for name + email? You’ll see better results (7.41%) than forms asking for things like birthdate (5.73%) or gender (5.93%)

Even small changes in form structure can dramatically improve list quality, flow performance, and downstream revenue

This isn’t about hacks or gimmicks.

It’s about designing smarter entry points that make subscribing a no-brainer, and set your emails up for success from the very first touch.

If your popup isn’t optimized for both conversion and context, you're not just leaving emails on the table.

You’re missing out on revenue, engagement, and deliverability gains that compound over time.

Most Brands Get This Wrong

❌ Generic messaging
“Sign up for updates” isn’t compelling. You need an offer people want.

❌ Bad timing
Showing your popup too early (or too often) just annoys users.

❌ No mobile optimization
If your form isn’t responsive? You’re missing 70%+ of your audience.

❌ Disconnected experience
Your popup is the start of your email funnel. If it doesn’t connect to your welcome flow, you’re losing leads before they even convert.
