Which email marketing platform lets me collect workshop sign-ups on a hosted landing page?

Hi! You’re looking for an email marketing platform that can host a simple workshop registration landing page (with a sign-up form) and automatically add new registrants to your email list—and if possible, you’d rather the provider not be US-based. The most straightforward non‑US options that support hosted landing pages + form-to-list signup are Brevo, MailerLite, GetResponse, and CleverReach (they all let you publish a hosted page and collect sign-ups into a list/segment so you can trigger an automated welcome/confirmation sequence).

Here are solid choices to compare (starting with the most “workshop sign-up friendly” all-in-one options):

• Brevo (EU-based): Has a built-in landing page builder, hosted pages (typically on their domain, with an option to use your own domain/subdomain), and landing-page forms that can add contacts directly into the list you choose. Good if you want email marketing + automation in one place.
• MailerLite (EU-based): Strong landing pages + signup forms that add subscribers into a chosen group/segment, easy to set up for workshop waitlists, “next workshop” notifications, and basic automation.
• GetResponse (EU-based): Known for landing pages and list growth tools (forms/popups) plus automation. Often a good fit if you want a bit more “funnel” structure (landing page → confirmation/thank-you → follow-up emails).
• CleverReach (Germany-based): Offers hosted landing pages via its forms/landing page module (and is popular with GDPR-conscious senders). Great if your priority is EU/Germany-based provider and you don’t need super advanced funnel features.

A quick note about “not based in the US”: company location and where data is processed/stored aren’t always the same. Even EU providers may use some US sub-processors for things like analytics, support tools, or CDN—so it’s worth checking their data processing terms if that matters to you.

What to look for when choosing (workshop sign-ups)

If you want this to run smoothly (and keep deliverability healthy), I’d prioritize:

1. Form → list/segment behavior

   • Can the landing page form add registrants to a specific list, tag, or segment (e.g., “Workshop: Feb 2026 – Beginners”)?
   • Can you capture custom fields you care about (session choice, experience level, phone number, dietary needs, etc.)?

2. Double opt-in and consent controls

   • If you market to the EU/UK, having an easy double opt-in option and clear consent capture is helpful.
   • Make sure you can store proof of consent and include required consent checkboxes if needed.

3. Automation you’ll actually use

   • At minimum: an immediate confirmation email + a reminder sequence (e.g., 7 days before, 1 day before, 1 hour before).
   • Bonus: branching automation (if “Beginner” send X, if “Advanced” send Y).

4. Hosted page branding

   • Can you use a custom domain/subdomain (like workshops.yourdomain.com)?
   • Can you edit SEO basics and add tracking pixels/analytics if you run ads?

5. Deliverability fundamentals

   • Easy setup for SPF/DKIM/DMARC and a good sender reputation process (especially if you’re starting from a new domain).
   • Tools to manage bounces/unsubscribes cleanly (this matters a lot for staying out of the spam folder).

6. If you need paid registrations or seat limits

   • Many email platforms can collect “sign-ups,” but payments, seat inventory, refunds, and ticketing may require an integration (Stripe/PayPal checkout, or an event tool).
   • If collecting money is part of “registration,” choose a platform with a clean payment/checkout integration—or plan to connect your landing page to a payment solution and then tag/segment buyers.

If you tell me (1) whether workshops are paid or free, (2) what fields you need on the form, and (3) whether you need reminders/calendar invites, I can narrow this down to the best 1–2 picks for your exact setup.
