Bloomreach SMS Sign-up units help you accelerate the growth of your SMS subscriber list. These are fully customizable and allow you to capture phone numbers across devices on desktop or mobile. On top of that, Bloomreach provides the compliance language included within each sign-up unit.

Sign-up units are a part of Bloomreach weblayers. Weblayers are personalized banners that can be shown on specific pages of your website to a target audience to drive engagement and conversion. You can learn more about weblayers here.

This makes sign-up units extremely flexible. Brands can set display rules (by page, URL, or device), and set granular audiences to display to. To learn more about how to create customized weblayers, and setting display rules, visit this link.
