There are times when it’s appropriate to allow prospects or customers to request to stop receiving emails about a specific campaign without them actually opting out of email marketing completely.
Actually, this is probably one of the more considerate techniques you can use to show your customers that you care and you don’t want to be continually dumping emails on them, but you’d rather just send them what they want.
So, let’s set a couple of ground rules first, before we go into how to set this up:

very cool idea Tyler
Hi Tyler. I love this idea and I’ve done this very thing in my campaigns in the past but stopped because of how long it takes to set it up. In order to have a link-click goal, there needs to be a link to click within the email obviously. Within the email builder of infusionsoft, to create the link-click goal, the options for creating a link are to link the text to a URL, an email address, a phone number, a file download, a landing page, a web form or an order form. Which do you use to make this the most simple and least time consuming? I suppose I could just link it to my YouTube channel or something like that. Or should I just create a generic “opt-out” page on my website that says something very general like “We’re sorry to see you leave that promotion but glad you didn’t completely stop all emails…”. What do you recommend? Maybe I’m completely missing something here.
I would just create a generic opt-out page on your website and link to that. You might even be able to use that page to re-engage or upsell those people into something else.
When we build scenarios like this for our customers, we will sometimes use a landing page URL (or even its thank you page URL).
On the original landing page builder, you can hide your “Submit” button my matching it to your background color. Then you can design your landing page to say what you want and use the hosted URL.
Or you can design the thank-you page, submit the landing page and grab that Thank-you page URL.
