Share your favorite form examples!

Without forms, marketers would have a tough time obtaining information on potential customers and tracking data regarding purchases, customer feedback, new leads, and survey responses. In a highly digital world, it’s hard to think of a successful business that doesn’t have at least one web form on its site.

Here’s an example of one of my favorite forms in the wild: Grubhub.

Grubhub uses a pop-up sign-up form, which eliminates distractions by darkening the background to bring the form into focus. Leads are asked for just three pieces of information that they can either fill out manually or automatically using their Facebook or Google account.

The key takeaway? Grubhub knows how to create an efficient and easy experience for its visitors.

I work for Las Vegas Harley-Davidson, and in order to combat inventory struggles, I created a marketing campaign to buy customer's motorcycles back. Here is my favorite form I've created so far: http://ride.lasvegasharleydavidson.com/we-want-your-ride

I agree with previous comments - minimal information.

Goal is to get contact information and continue to nurture them... We don't need to know everything about the prospect.

And autofill simplifies the process for prospects - so that is best practice.

Short and sweet and don;t ask for too much.

Made on WP Form.

I liked the Ask the Bum contact form from the video. Since I'm always focused on lead gen forms, I hadn't considered the other ways to use forms. Thanks.

I like short, pre-filled form. Radio button or tick-forms.. where minimal writing of answers is required.

When it comes to surveys, I think Amazon is pretty good about it because some of them give you incentives like cash back or percentage off discont. 

[KHernandez]

Personally I prefer shorter because usually when forms are longer and require more to be filled out I am more discouraged to do it.

[Brianpro]

I enjoy minimalist forms as other commenters have said,1 to 3 fields at the most.

[Gautambhalla777]

By motivating the users to prefill some of the details via social media login for forms like survery form , minimises their effort in entring information while they can focus on their core concern

[MLong4]

Forms that are short enough and that are easy to fill in.

I absolutely detest pop up forms. They are so annoying and they typically happen when I am going to a site for a particular thing and the pop up gets in my way and slows me down.  Then you have to close it out to continue what you were doing. I find them intrusive and I have never taken action from a pop up form.  

However, I understand the concept and the effectiveness of them in the marketing world, as a consumer I am annoyed every time and it adds a blemish to my experience on that site.

[MGlenn]

I like forms that gather key data, but don't take a lot of time to fill out/have optional fields. 

[Vikki]

any short form that doesn't ask too much personal info is our go-to.

[CPage513]

Use progressive fields so you don't overwhelm people with long forms 

[JenMalins]

As a consumer, if a pop-up form blocks the content I'm trying to read, I immediately close it. Most of the time, these pop-ups appear too quickly, asking if I want to be on some kind of list when I haven't even had enough time to read a single sentence of the content. That's like being asked what you want to order two seconds after being given the menu. I do like the GrubHub one, though, but that's also because it's easy to see what it is they do and most people know this before they even go to the website.

[KKamlager]

I like forms that do not deter interest. I think expanded forms are beneficial when customers are further along in the buyers journey and have the details to move their project along. These expanded sections need to be well-used.

How do we create Hubspot forms with floating form fields instead of stacked? Thank you!
