How is Exit Intent Popups defined?

Even customers love or hate it; Exit-Intent Popup is a technique that almost all online stores use as a marketing tool to keep customers who are going to leave their site. This technology-based on tracking the movement of the visitors’ mouse cursor on the page. If the position of the mouse cursor is out of the page boundary, a popup window is shown.

It’s not a feasible solution for mobile devices as the exit-intent popup works based on the movement of the mouse cursor while the touchpoint on mobile is not always trackable as it can suddenly disappear and reappear in a different position on the screen of the device. So the popup can work based on detecting other actions like scrolling page, loading page, or click on popups.

There are different kinds of popups that store owners can apply to attract customers’ eyes and retain them on the site longer.

Firstly, cart abandonment exit popups appear when clients add an item to their shopping cart but leave the checkout process for some reasons. A message including a discount coupon or a reminder of forgetting the cart will give them the desire to complete payment.

The second popup is product-page exit popups, which will be displayed when a customer intends to leave the page without adding any item to cart. A small window, including an appealing deal, gives them a reason to stay longer on your site to consider.

Why Better Popup extension brings benefits for e-stores?

Reduce abandonment and increase conversion rates

There are some reasons behind the abandonment cart at the checkout page. Customers may no longer be interested in your product pool, or they may wait for the other reason to buy it. Online stores can take this chance to give customers a discount or an appealing deal to push them to finish their payment. Before making a real purchase, clients will go to many websites to compare different products. If they can find the same item with a lower price from your competitor, they can drop their shopping cart on your site. The simple remedy to change customers’ mind is to offer them something associated that they cannot refuse via popups. An appealing offer for any items presenting when customers are going to leave the site incentivizes them to make a purchase during this visit and not wait for a later date because this offer will be gone. This prevents the cart abandonment and increases the conversion rates.

Get customers’ personal information

Another main advantage of using exit-intent popups is to acquire the shopping doers’ detail, in particular, their email address. It is vital to have customers’ email as we can remarket to them after their leaving to increase cart recoveries. If the customers abandon the site without leaving any personal detail, merchants cannot reach out to them to attract them back to the site. Using exit-intent popups to capture visitors’ email address by exchanging them with something valued will help shops prevent to lose potential revenue as returning visitors are precious. Business doers can use a newsletter popup is another effective way to capture customers’ email. A popup will be shown to suggest customers sign up to get newsletters during their shopping trip. If they are interested in your items, they give their email to get an appealing coupon by an exchange.

Discover customers’ feedback via surveys.

Another reason to use exit-intent popups is to ask for clients’ idea. This helps store owners understand why customers are leaving and how to improve performance to reach their expectations. By this way, ecommerce shops can show that they care about clients’ experience and satisfaction. Messages via popups need to be clear and short like rating us, tell us why you leave, etc.
