Customizing Email Signup Forms in MailChimp

January 19th, 2009 | by Ben

It’s super easy now to customize your signup forms in MailChimp. You can add dropdown boxes, dates (as in birthdays, anniversaries, etc), phone number fields, and more — without having to code a single line of HTML!

Just look for the “add-a-field” buttons on the right side of the List Form Designer (here’s a demo video):

Update: And if our new visual form designer still doesn’t quite do it for you, go build a beautiful form in Wufoo, then link it to your MailChimp list.

      Wow! Ben!… this is FANTASTIC!

      I was just “killing some time” and wanted to see how the upgrade went this weekend… checked the blog… and discovered this video tutorial! Can’t wait to modify our organization’s form with these easy tools.

      Thanks so much for ALL your work to improve an already AWESOME info/marketing service.

      I’m still disappointed that the form I designed in the visual editor wasn’t available in the ‘integration’ tab.

      The form available in the integration tab was totally different and the code that one has to copy and paste is bulky.

      I like the javascript aweber version. I also like how in aweber you can design the entire form with content above and below the signup form and all the changes automagically take place on my website from the same javascript code.

      but on the flip side mailchimp has way better features.

      Can you look into making the integration more userfriendly especially for us aweber wannabe converts
