It's hard to imagine a better time to collect customer information than when they're registering for an account. Shopify requires that they give you their name and email address– Why not use this opportunity to collect extra data to help fulfill orders, segment your customers, or market to new or existing customers?
- Add 'Accepts Marketing' to customer registration forms in Shopify
It's simple and a guaranteed way to increase the number of email subscibers to your store. This data is synced with your Shopify admin so you can easily determine who has opted-in for marketing and who hasn't. - Get customer demographics
Learning your customer's age, gender, or geographic region is a great way to enrich your marketing efforts and sell more! Getting customer demographics are proven to increase sales. - Ask for product specifications
