If you’re serious about turning website visitors into paying customers, adding them to an email list is not enough.

The real magic happens during the nurturing process – that’s when you build a strong relationship with your prospects. To do this at the highest level possible, you need to be able to send more than just one-time emails.

Ideally, you want to track your subscribers’ entire journey to know where they come from and you want to have in-depth Email & SMS automations based on user behavior.

The more personalized you make your nurturing process, the higher conversions you’ll have.

That’s why we’re excited to announce OptinMonster is now fully Integrated with Bento! 🎉

Bento is a powerful marketing automation platform that offers a ton of high-converting features to help you grow your business through better email marketing, live chat, and advanced automation.

If you’re looking to connect with your audience on a deeper level, increase your email list ROI, retain customers and scale through email marketing… Bento is the right choice.

In fact, whether you’re just starting out, you’re an experienced marketer, or you run a company, Bento has everything you need—all in one package.

What does this mean for you?🤔

You can instantly send the leads you generate through OptinMonster directly to Bento.

And you can leverage Bento’s advanced tools to convert more of the subscribers you get using OptinMonster.

Plus, thanks to Bento’s wide range of integrations, you can connect with other platforms or software to further improve your conversion efforts.

Bento integrates with Zapier, WordPress, Easy Digital Downloads, WooCommerce, Shopify, WebFlow, Stripe, WhatsApp, and many others.

And the best part is, the entirety of Bento’s features are included in ALL of their plans. You don’t have to pay extra to use certain features like other Email Marketing Platforms ask you to do.

Similarly, you can add your entire team at no extra cost.

To add a cherry on top, Bento can be accessed anywhere with their Web, MacOS, WindowOS, iPhone and Android apps.

And if you’re looking for a sense of community, every customer gets added to their private Discord server to connect with fellow customers and get their questions answered.

Here’s what using Bento with OptinMonster can help you achieve:

Reduce Bounce Rates 📉 and Increase Domain Authority 📈

Nobody likes a high bounce rate. It can hurt your sender reputation, making it harder to get your emails in front of your audience.

But with OptinMonster and Bento, you can leave those worries behind.

Bento’s Spam API paired with OptinMonster’s TruLead® Verification keeps all invalid, spam, or dangerous emails away.

Only genuine, high-quality leads make it onto your list. This means fewer bounces, higher open rates, and a better chance of your emails landing in the inbox rather than the dreaded spam folder.

Plus, a cleaner, more engaged list helps boost your domain authority, which can lead to better email deliverability overall. In short, you’re not just building a list—you’re building a stronger foundation for all your email marketing efforts.

Capture Better Leads for Higher Engagement and More Sales 💵

When you gather detailed relevant information from your prospects, you’re setting yourself up for more effective conversations that actually lead to conversions.

With Bento and OptinMonster’s Field Mapping, you can collect valuable data beyond just an email address.

You can create lead generation campaigns using any of the following field types:

1. Name
2. Email
3. Phone
4. Text
5. Text Area
6. Number
7. Dropdown Select
8. Radio Button
9. Checkbox

It’s never been easier to ask the right questions and get the insights you need. This means that when you reach out in your nurturing process, you already know what your leads are interested in, allowing you to tailor your messaging and increase your chances of closing the deal.

You can also tailor your messaging based on the medium that resonates best with your audience. With Bento, you can engage with your prospects through:

• Email broadcasts, workflows and automations
• SMS messages (even on WhatsApp)
• Live Chat
• Social Media Channels like Facebook and X

The result? A more personalized approach to your sales conversations. You get only the highest quality of leads on your email list, you understand what they’re interested in, and you can talk with them on the platform they feel most comfortable with.

This will inevitably lead to higher engagement and more conversions.

3 Easy-to-Use OptinMonster Campaign Ideas to Grow Your Bento Email List 📩

Once you’ve chosen Bento as your integration, it’s time to finally grow your email list.

There are many ways to do that with OptinMonster, depending on what type of website you have, what kind of business you’re running, and what products or services you’re selling.

Let’s walk through some of the most popular and high-converting campaign types, to get you set up for success.

For each campaign type, we’ll give you a real-life example.

Exit Intent® Campaign

Shockbyte, a game server provider from Australia, used an Exit-Intent® campaign to show an offer to website visitors that were about to leave the website or close their browser.

It’s a simple optin popup that asks for a single piece of information (an email address) in exchange for a nice discount, making it easier for the visitor to agree.

This simple campaign converts at 13.73%.

As you can see, it all comes down to making a good offer, at the right time, in the right place.

“Through OptinMonster’s exit-intent popups, we have more than doubled our sales conversion rate. Best of all is the compound effect of using OptinMonster over a long period of time—more conversions mean more customers, which means more word of mouth.” – Mitch Smith, Managing Director, Shockbyte.com

2-Step Optin Popup Campaign

Cosmetic Packaging Now, a distributor of laboratory-grade cosmetic packaging containers, implemented a 2-Step Optin popup campaign to show an offer to visitors who’ve either been on the page for at least 7 seconds, have scrolled at least 20% of the page, or were going to leave the website.

It used the Yes/No view to segment the visitors: The “Yes” button takes the visitor to the “Optin” view, and the “No” button closes the campaign.

Even though this is an extra step when compared to showing the Optin view alone, it actually prompts interested visitors to follow through with signing up by employing the Zeigarnik Effect.

The result? This single campaign increased Cosmetic Packaging Now’s list by 753.8%, growing it from just 396 subscribers to 2,985!

You could easily do something similar on your website, and grow your Bento list much faster than your average competitor. Even better, you can add a Phone Number field to your campaign, and then use Bento’s SMS delivery system to send messages to your prospects. Doing this can double your conversions.

“Our conservative calculation puts our return on investment from using OptinMonster at 49,900%!” – Roman Randall, Founder, Summit Digital Marketing

Content Locking Campaign

Casey Stubbs, founder of Trading Strategy Guides, added a Content Locking campaign to one of his most popular blog posts on bitcoin trading.

Content locking denies access to content until the reader completes a specific action, for example providing their email address. Any content below the placement of the campaign will be blurred out, or removed altogether until the reader subscribes.

In just under two months, Casey added almost 7,500 subscribers to his list from this single content locking campaign.

Seems easy, right?

That’s because it actually is. OptinMonster makes it super simple to generate leads and grow your email list, even if you have no marketing or design experience.
