Consider the Subscribe block/button not visible enough? With Advanced Newsletter you can place it anywhere you like. Everything you should do is to insert the CMS block at the place you require. Spend two minutes and watch how your subscriber base increases.

The new Automated customers subscription feature allows subscribing customers and moving them from one segment to another automatically on any order events (order became pending, canceled, complete etc.).

Let Advanced Newsletter target your subscribers with the most relevant content!
