Unlock More Leads with Form Abandonment](https://wpforms.com/new-unlock-more-leads-with-form-abandonment/) **Published:** February 1, 2017 **Author:** Jared Atchison **Content:** How many leads do you lose to form abandonment? Keeping forms short and simple will boost your [form conversion rate](https://wpforms.com/10-research-based-tips-to-improve-contact-form-conversions/) and can help [reduce form abandonment](https://wpforms.com/how-to-combat-order-form-abandonment-and-increase-your-sales/), but that’s not always possible. Sometimes you need more information than just a few fields will provide. Splitting up a long form into multiple pages will help, but even then users can get impatient and abandon a form halfway through. Once that happens, they may leave your site and never return. Now with our new Form Abandonment addon, you can follow up with those interested prospects, even if they don’t complete the whole form. Form Abandonment will help you to **get more leads without increasing your traffic**. It works amazingly well with: - [Request a Quote forms](https://wpforms.com/how-to-create-a-request-a-quote-form-in-wordpress/) - [Order forms](https://wpforms.com/how-to-create-a-simple-order-form-in-wordpress/) - Support Request forms - …and more ### How Form Abandonment Works First, you’ll need to have the Form Abandonment addon plugin installed.

You’ll want to make sure that you ask for the user’s name and email address and/or phone number at the beginning of the form, so that you can follow up with them even if they only complete the first few fields.

Then, make sure the **Enable form abandonment lead capture** option is checked.  You can also choose to only save partial entries if you have some way to contact the user, and to prevent duplicate entries. That’s it!
