Create a landing page

Landing pages are static capture forms that let you collect new SMS subscribers in offsite places. These forms are always active and accessible to your audience via the Attentive hosted URL. Attentive hosts landing pages while you add them to assets such as emails, social media accounts, or your domain.

We recommend leveraging landing pages for the following use cases:

• Convert email subscribers into SMS subscribers.
• Provide an evergreen sign-up experience in a marketing channel.
• Offer a promotion when customers subscribe to your SMS messages.
• Use a QR code to add a sign-up link to physical assets such as flyers and advertisements.

When you design a landing page, Attentive applies responsive design to automatically adjust formatting to fit mobile and desktop devices. You can customize your landing pages to display different images, colors, and buttons depending on the device type.
