What’s new to the Yieldify Conversion Platform this quarter?

As we near the end of 2019, it’s time to recap a few of the many updates we’ve added to the Yieldify Conversion Platform over the last few months. 

From new ways to recapture abandoning visitors and keep your customers in the loop, to functionality that improves data collection and cleanliness, join us as we run down the latest features and formats now available.

Web Push Notifications

With the arrival of Web Push Notifications, we’re diversifying the channels you can use to re-engage your visitors after they’ve left your website.

Checkboxes and radio buttons

Effective personalization relies on actionable data, and this starts at the point of collection. We create thousands of lead generation forms every year (in the wake of GDPR, we created 3,000 in a single year), and have captured more than 15 million leads along the way. All this has given us a clear idea of how to improve the process, which we’ve done by adding new radio button and checkbox options to lead capture capture campaigns.

When to use it

Both these new options allow for greater variation in the design of your lead capture campaigns, and make it easier for users to provide information, increasing the likelihood of form completion. Because the data collection can be restricted to predefined options, the data collected is error-free and easily segmentable.

One of the most powerful ways to use these new data collection options is to collect user preferences alongside their email, so that your follow-up and future campaigns can be more personalized. For example, you could:

Marks and Spencer used this functionality to support promotional activity, creating competition entry forms for both onsite and in-store use. The forms utilized the radio button format to collect data on the gender of visitors, and the checkbox to provide a GDPR-compliant opt-in to marketing communications, supporting lead generation efforts across channels.

Multi-stage Campaigns

Sometimes when collecting data or displaying information to a user it can be difficult to get your message across in one campaign – especially on mobile where real estate is limited. We’ve created multi-stage campaigns to solve this challenge.

How it works

When to use it

Multi-step campaigns allow you to split your campaign into stages to avoid bombarding users with too much information. It also improves the customer experience by showing the next stage only after the user shows interest. This functionality has multiple use cases:

Here’s how a three stage multi-step campaign might look:
