Description

The Email Form feature is a great solution for generating customer feedback, taking appointment/reservation requests, sign E-Signature contracts, order forms, employment applications, quotes, gift cards, personal trainer sign-up forms and gathering info from users in general. You can select from field options, adapt existing options to meet your needs, and customize the design of the form to create your perfect submission form.

Monetization ideas:

  • If you offer custom-priced services or products that aren't well suited to the Merchandise feature, the Email Form feature can act as an interest or request form.
  • Consider running contests or sweepstakes through the app that require the user to submit something through the Email Form feature.
