What is it?
You can now trigger an unsubscribe survey on the preference page to collect feedback about why a contact is unsubscribing from all emails and view this feedback for more insights about your marketing email strategy. Turn every unsubscribe into a learning opportunity without adding friction to the unsubscribe process.
Why does it matter?
Automatically collect feedback when a contact unsubscribes from all email, giving Marketers actionable insights to reduce churn and improve content relevance.
How does it work?
Within the Subscriptions settings tab, Marketers can toggle on the unsubscribe survey.
Once this setting is toggled on, anytime a contact unsubscribes from all email communications, they will see a questionnaire on the confirmation page inquiring as to the reason for the unsubscribe. The survey includes 5 preset options:
- I'm no longer interested in your company
- I didn't sign up for your mailing list
- I receive too many emails
- Your emails are not relevant to me
- Other (50-character count open text field)
Accessing Data
