Description

Add a feature that allows users to submit their email addresses to receive notifications about upcoming festivals, sales, and special events. This feature will help keep customers informed and engaged with timely updates about events relevant to their interests.

Requirements

1. Email Subscription Form:

   • Place the subscription form prominently on the homepage and/or relevant pages.
   • Collect user email addresses for notifications about festivals and sales.
   • Include a brief description to let users know they'll receive updates on agricultural festivals, sales, and other relevant events.

2. Backend Integration:

   • Implement an endpoint to handle email submissions, storing email addresses securely in the database.
   • Consider options for subscribing users to an email marketing platform like Mailchimp or SendGrid for automated notifications.

3. User Experience:

   • Show a success message upon successful submission (e.g., “Thank you! You’ll now receive festival notifications.”).
   • Handle errors gracefully, providing feedback if the submission fails (e.g., “There was an error. Please try again.”).

4. Email Confirmation:

   • Send a confirmation email upon subscription, allowing users to verify their email addresses and consent to receiving notifications.
