Spotlight Subscribe:

When a user scrolls into view, it darkens the rest of the page, highlighting—or casting a spotlight—on the signup form. In-content calls-to-action encourage readers to sign up for Grow as well.

Spotlight Subscribe also provides multiple ways to customize the plugin for your needs. Update images and text, and even use different widgets across different pages using the Category Targeting settings or the Manual Placement option.

Recommended Content:

Sit back and leave the content curation to Grow! When users log in, they’ll receive personalized recommendations based on things they’ve read, shared, or marked as favorites on your website. Meanwhile, logged-out users receive recommendations based on their browsing content and what other users like them have clicked on.

Subscribe:
