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 think survey forms for restaurants are great for businesses. They all the business to see what they did well on and what they can improve on while also getting their customers information.
I like the Waze app's (https://www.waze.com/live-map/) ease of access of use by having a CTA button which says "Send to your phone." They also feature simple but useful, CTA buttons which send potential users to the App Store and Google Play to get the app from there.
I haave seen some nicely design pop up forms on IT SaaS companies website, mainly those offerng certain discounts on implementation or migration servvices. The pop up form has he right number of fields and relevant image for greater impact. for starters, I think WP forms are best.
The Starbucks gift card form from the examples mentioned was starighforward, and easy to follow through for a consumer. I also liked how the layout showed how the message would be displayed as well, its these small details that make the difference as it shows that the brand is mindful, and takes care of its customers.
