Step 3: Create a Pop-Up Form and Footer Sign-Up
Use Klaviyo's form templates to create a pop-up form and footer sign-up. Add your own styling to make it consistent with your brand.
Step 4: Understand the Difference between Lists and Segments

To keep your list healthy and metrics high, set up list cleaning practices, such as unengaged segment, sunset flow, and soft bounces segment.
