Book a call List Growth
Book a call TL;DR: An open code on the homepage gives the discount away without capturing anything. Every offer should cost the visitor an email address.
From the audit vault: From an audit of a condiments brand running a 20% newsletter offer and a separate 10% code printed directly on the homepage: customers could take the discount without ever joining the list.
It usually happens by accident: one team ships a pop-up offer, another adds a promo banner, and suddenly the site is handing out codes with no exchange. The customer gets the margin hit either way; the brand only gets an asset back when an email changes hands.
If there is a strategic reason to keep an open offer running, fine, but at least one offer should live behind email capture. Multiple competing offers on a landing page also confuse the buying decision, so consolidating usually lifts conversion on its own.

List Growth
A single large prize often costs less than a blanket discount and converts cold visitors who were never going to use a coupon.
List Growth
Gamified pop-ups are converting brilliantly right now, and the mechanic works hardest when it is tied to the brand itself.
