Popup Web Campaigns
Popup web campaigns are useful for preventing cart or browse abandonment or for capturing email addresses. You can test different text, imagery, and calls-to-action to determine which one is best at grabbing the attention of your users.
Recommendations for Using Popups
Popup web campaigns appear unexpectedly on a user’s screen based on the user’s behavior, which can be effective, but intrusive, so use them sparingly. These campaigns generally include a message, an image, and a call-to-action option, such as a button or an input field. They typically target a global content zone and appear on all pages of your website. If you only want your popup to appear on certain pages, make sure you include page targeting logic at the campaign level to restrict where the popup can appear.
Popup Web Templates
You can use one of the pre-built global templates (Exit Intent or Exit Intent with EmailCapture) in your dataset to create popup web campaigns.
The templates available to you can have different name and configuration options if your developer modified them. If you need additional styling or configuration options, ask your template developer about creating a custom template or modifying an existing template. For example, you can have a popup message respond to a triggering event rather than exit intent behavior.
Exit Intent Popup — Select this template to show a popup message when a user displays behavior consistent with the intent to exit your website.
| Template Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Lightbox | This option makes the popup an overlay on the page so the user can’t interact with other content. |
| Background Image URL | This option lets you add the URL for a hosted image. Locate the image, click to open it in a browser window, and copy the URL to enter it in the field. |
| Style | This template offers the options of Dark on Light (dark text on a light image) and Light on Dark (light text on a dark image) for flexibility in displaying in the background image. |
| Header | This text is the main headline for the campaign. |
| Subheader | This text is smaller and located beneath the header. |
| CTA Text | This text appears on the pre-styled call-to-action button within the popup message. |
