Exit Intent Popups and OnSite Retargeting

Did you know that over 70% of visitors abandoning your website will never return?

OptinMonster’s signature exit-intent popup technology can help you convert abandoning visitors into subscribers and customers.

With exit intent popups, visitors see a popup message with your best offer at the precise moment they’re about to leave.

Exit popups are proven to convert an additional 2 – 4% of your visitors into email subscribers and paying customers.

You can use exit intent popups combined with OnSite Retargeting to show different popup messages to new visitors vs returning visitors.

These advanced popup triggers are highly effective in growing your email list, reducing cart abandonment, and saving you moeny on PPC advertising and retargeting ads.

In only 7 months, we added more than 95,000 names to our email list using OptinMonster’s Exit Intent™ technology. We strongly recommend it!

Smart Page Targeting and Behavior Based Personalization

And the best WordPress popup plugin comes with advanced page targeting and behavior based personalization, too!

This means you can show a popup for specific page or section of your site, or based on users’ geolocation, or even when a visitor clicks a specific link…and so much more.

You can even show unique popups based on user’s past behavior such as: have they clicked on an existing marketing popup, seen another popup campaign, closed a marketing popup, viewed X number of pages, etc.

These personalization features of OptinMonster popups make them highly effective in improving your lead generation, increasing subscribers, and growing sales.

Using OptinMonster, I was able to increase sales $55,000 after capturing nearly 7% more leads with a single optin!

Popup A/B Testing, Email Marketing Integrations, and Popup Analytics

Unlike other WordPress lead generation plugins, OptinMonster comes with reliable A/B split testing and accurate analytics without slowing down your site.

Most of them use wp-ajax to setup analytics. This slows down your site and also results in unreliable analytics due to cache plugin settings.

Similarly, A/B testing in a most WordPress popup plugins is broken because caching plugins can skew the data.

We fixed both these issues with our superior infrastructure, so you can have reliable A/B testing for popups, accurate conversion analytics, and seamless email marketing / CRM integrations for your marketing (bonus: lead storage & lead backup are included, too).
