Subscribe/unsubscribe info in custom field or list

I want to create a subscription center and I need about 5-6 different options where people can subscribe to / unsubscribe from.

I've been reading some blog posts and articles about and mostly custom fields are used for this. Could lists also work? e.g. Newsletter list, webinar list,... and place people into these lists when they are subscribing, taking these away when unsubscribing?

What are the pros/cons of using lists instead of custom fields?

Hi Nick,

You cannot use lists to capture info in a form, you need fields, so no alternative here.

Now, when the lead submits the form, you can run smart campaigns that will add the leads to lists, one foreach choice. And also to remove people from the lists.

True. Technically I could have one (e.g. newsletter) subscription form and place the lead in a list but then I would indeed run into problems with the subscription center.

Thanks!
