Add email opt in on Download CiviCRM page for onboarding sequence
Currently, on https://civicrm.org/download, the "Join the CiviCRM community…" mailing list subscription options is missing the first commitment level of getting started with CiviCRM. The https://civicrm.org/civicrm/mailing/subscribe options are all well and good, but a simple onboarding sequence that is entirely optional could help people have more success. And this would allow for a followup down the line.
Proposal:
- Create on page form that captures email ("Want some tips as you get started with CiviCRM? We'll send you some free advice and resources")
Automation:
- Create a flow to be defined in another issue. The premise is that we can advise on common pointers, docs, feature most used civi components, SK + FB, and at the bottom of an email, if they need support direct them to the partner directory.
- Allow for a survey say 3-6 months down the line on status of their implementation. Again point to partner directory as fallback option.
The Civi dropoff rates from past data seem to be higher than necessary.Giving them a guiding hand along the way and a solution to solve their problems either thru DIY resources or partner support can't hurt.
