Gravity Forms Blog How To Lead Capture

Utilizing WordPress as your content management system is pretty much the norm nowadays. Many of these sites are beautiful but lack any strategy for capturing inbound marketing leads. Companies publish whitepapers, case studies, and use cases in great detail without ever capturing the contact information of the folks who download them.

Developing a web site with downloads that can be attained through registration forms is a good inbound marketing strategy. By capturing contact information or perhaps even an opt-in for ongoing email communications – you're letting the user know that they may be contacted in return for their contact information.

If you don't use WordPress, want to use forms across multiple platforms or locations, or have very advanced needs, my recommendation is always Formstack. It's simple to use, setup, and embed regardless of your site. If you're using WordPress, Gravity Forms has made a very popular plugin that works well for capturing data.

Gravity Forms is an incredible drag and drop form plugin specifically developed for WordPress. It's well-developed, has a ton of add-ons and integrations, and – best of all – it saves every submission within WordPress. Many of the other form tools out there just push the data to an email address or external site. If there's an issue with the passing of that data, you don't have any kind of backup.
