Popup ideas to get you started
If you’ve got this far, you probably can’t wait to try the new feature for yourself. Here are a couple of examples to give you a profound inspiration boost.
1. Add an image to the welcome page of your survey
It might be hard to nudge visitors into taking a survey. To change that, try the following tactic.
Instead of jumping at them with a question, highlight the reasons you’re running this survey in the first place. With an eye-catching image added to the survey welcome page, you get a chance to pique their interest and increase form submission rate.
2. Power up your exit-intent popups with GIFs
Exit-intent popups are your last chance to convert abandoning visitors into subscribers and customers. The tricky part is to prevent them from reflexively closing the offer before even reading it.
News flash! GIFs are perfect attention grabbers.
So why not use one on a popup designed to stop people on their way to the exit?
3. Find a perfect fullscreen widget background
Have you played with fullscreen popups already? Because they are delightful!
And with the Background collection of images, you can create a masterpiece in a matter of minutes.
Who would resist joining your email list when you deliver the invitation in such a tasteful way?
Now log in to your Getsitecontrol dashboard and let your creativity take over. Hopefully, these ideas have inspired you to create unique, beautiful popups your audience will be willing to engage with.
