Email List Growth with Squarespace: Essential Methods
Squarespace offers multiple built-in features to collect and manage email subscribers effectively. Here are the key methods to grow your mailing list:
Core Collection Methods:
- Newsletter Block: Add subscription forms to pages, footers, or blog posts

- Checkout Integration: Collect subscribers during purchase completion
- Acuity Scheduling: Enable signups during appointment booking
- Point of Sale: Gather subscribers through iOS POS system

Managing Your Subscriber List
Connect each signup form to your email campaign's mailing list through the form's storage settings. Subscribers must confirm their subscription before being added to your list.
Subscriber Notifications
To receive alerts for new signups:
- Connect forms to both Squarespace and Google Drive
- Enable notifications in your Google spreadsheet
- Use Google Sheets as a backup storage solution
Tracking Performance
Monitor your email campaign success through:
- Delivery rates
- Open rates
- Click rates
- Unsubscribe rates
- Traffic from campaigns
Use these analytics to optimize your content and increase subscriber engagement. Track visitors from campaigns using the Traffic Sources panel in site analytics.
Pro Tip: Multiple forms can connect to a single mailing list, but each storage area can only link to one list at a time. Regular analysis of performance metrics helps refine your email marketing strategy and grow your subscriber base effectively.
Remember to follow email marketing best practices and maintain consistent communication with your subscribers to ensure long-term list growth and engagement.
