Exit Popup: What is it? How it works? Example, Best Practices and Benefits

Did you ever go to any fashion store and started walking out later without purchasing anything because you couldn’t find what you were looking for or the price was too high?

This has happened with almost everyone.

And as soon as the shopkeeper realized that you are on your way without purchasing anything, he tries to stop you either with some discount game or some offers. Sometimes, you agree and sometimes you don’t.

This is exactly what an Exit Pop up does in eCommerce. A majority of the online businesses leverage exit pop-ups to increase conversions on their website.

What is an Exit Pop up?

An exit popup also referred to as an exit-intent pop up is a popup that appears on a visitor’s screen when they intend to take an exit from your website. It is basically a last-minute effort made by website owners to stop visitors from leaving.

For example, if a user is trying to leave your website after abandoning the cart, you can make an attempt and try making him stay and complete that purchase by displaying some enticing offers through the exit pop up.

I usually find exit pop-ups better than any other kind of popup, the reason being they do not irk visitors. They do not disturb the flow and are displayed only when a visitor tries to exit.

Exit popups ensure that the user experience is maintained until the very last moment, unlike other popups that can appear at any point of time.

How does an Exit pop up work?

The exit popup or the exit-intent technology tracks the mouse movement of the visitors and triggers the popup when it captures that the user is heading towards the exit button. It is usually in the form of an overlay pop up.

One thing to mention here is that the popup is not displayed only when the cursor has moved towards the exit button, it is triggered when the user leaves the browsing area.

An exit popup is not always used to display offers. You can customize it as per your requirements depending on what actions do you want your visitors to take after seeing it or what results do you want to achieve through it.

Exit Popup Examples

Through an exit intent pop up, website owners primarily aim to capture the email address of the visitors so that they remain in touch with the brand and are often brought back on the website. Brands then try to build communication over email and persuade the subscribers to become their customer.

In most of the cases, an exit popup is used in two ways-

1. To induce visitors to make a purchase using an exclusive coupon code

2. To make visitors download a free guide or an eBook

Exit Pop up Best Practices

Let’s take a look at some of the best practices for an exit popup to achieve good results.

1. Provide Irresistible Offers

The best way to stop your visitors from leaving your website is by offering them something which they can’t resist to grab.

Offer something exciting. It should be worth their attention and should encourage them to claim that offer instantly. If the offer doesn’t excite them, the pop up will fail to bring conversions.

2. Make it Visually Appealing

If you want to make an impact with the exit intent pop up, make sure it is highly appealing and designed in such a way that users are not disturbed by it and feel the need to check it out even when they have decided to leave.

Use attractive colour combinations, pay attention to what font you are using, write tempting content and most importantly, make your CTA, i.e. call to action stand out. Do not use common CTAs like Sign Up or Subscribe, use the ones that create urgency.

3. Use it to Collect Feedback

Exit Popups are also used to collect the feedback of the visitors. Ask them if they have any suggestions to provide or have any complaints or anything that they feel is missing or needs to be improved.

Benefits of an Exit Popup

An exit pop up provides you with some amazing benefits.

1. Boost Conversions

No other pop up draws the visitor’s attention as much as an Exit Pop up. The effectiveness of pop up doubles when it is displayed to the user when they are only focused on taking an exit. It is not the same when the user is browsing some stuff and is interrupted by a pop-up.

Through exit popups, you can reduce the cart abandonment possibility and eventually increase your conversions.

2. Reduce Bounce Rate

If a user lands on your website and does not find anything helpful, most likely they will bounce off. And while they try to leave, an exit pop up could be of some help and it can encourage them to check out your website.

3. Exit Popups are not annoying (Usually)

Pop-ups have mostly been an annoyance for users. They hamper the user experience. But this is not the case with Exit Popups because they appear only when the user has already decided to leave your website and there is no harm in making a try to stop them from leaving.

5 Ways to Control the Exit Rate from your Website

The visitor’s behavior when it comes to shopping online is quite unpredictable. The customer may wish to stay in the web store as long as they are able to connect with various aspects of the website. Once they lose touch of the contents provided offered by the store, they may not be interested in staying any longer. At this point, it becomes important for the eCommerce owners to keep the customers stay put in the web store. To do this they need to use various approaches and methods.

The exit rate of the customers in a website is one of the biggest concerns for the eCommerce companies. According to a study, about 65% of the customers exit the website after browsing a few pages. These figures are quite scary for a website owner as they are losing a major portion of their sales with these customers and the effective number of conversions of the website is also going down. Thus, an immediate need to control these exit rate from the website needs to be made by the web store owners.

There is no particular reason for the exit rates of the website, but a decent efforts can be made by them to control those numbers and try to get the customers back to the store. It is never an easy task to lure back a customer back to the store after they have decided to exit. The website must try to provide them with some strong motive, so that, they may feel like taking another look to the website or try other features. With some decent efforts and better approach the owner may be able to get back a decent number of customers back to the stores who had decided to exit.

The below discussed are some ways in which the exit rate of a website can be controlled.

Optimizing the website content

One of the important point that strikes the website owner’s mind after seeing a large number of exit rates in the website is the optimization of website. Yes, the main problem may be the website contents. The customers will only entertain themselves with the website as long as they understand the contents and are in the same page as the website but as soon as the communication gap rises the customer starts to move apart, eventually leaving the website. Therefore, a better option would be to optimize the website for better engagement. The number of CTA, their positioning, images, ALT images all these features play a great role in engaging the customer hence optimizing the website may help in lowering the exit rates.

Exit surveys

Exit surveys are also of great importance and helps the store owners to know the exact reasons of the cause of the customers exit. The website may use attractive pop ups in order to get customer’s reasons of leaving. Exit surveys provide essential information about the level of satisfaction with your company’s products, prices or the website’s UX, loading speed and many more things. The websites may use the survey results to reduce the exit rates by making use of branching logic. This process requires to engage the customers and convince them to convert by throwing lights on the positive aspects of the website. The exit surveys are found to serve the purpose of knowing the reason of customer’s dissatisfaction with the website, so that the services can be improved and the exit rate may be controlled in the near future. Therefore, the classic surveys won’t help you to improve the exit rates of your pages unless you won’t use scenarios with branching logic.

Website performance

There is almost a drop in 7% of the conversion rates of the website due to 1 sec delay in page load. This shows the urgency to improve the website performance. In the era of online marketing the options are multiple, the customers need not to wait for any longer in order to make a purchase. If the websites can’t provide them with efficient and fast results than they are likely to move out. This makes it one of the possible reason of the high exit rates. Thus, the websites needs to be timely checked for the performance and their seed. If the response rate is being delayed somehow than the web store needs to check it out.

Exit pop ups

One of the efficient way to control the exit rates is by using the interactive exit intent pop up. The exit pop ups are designed in such a way that when the customers tend to exit the store, these pops up in their screen. The exit pop ups are filled with attractive offers and discounts for the customer, which the customers can utilize and avail. Shopify spin and win is one such example for attractive exit pop-ups for the Shopify stores. Such gamified pop-ups are even available for other platforms such as Prestashop, Magento and others. The wheelio curbs the exit-intent of the customers by offering various alluring giveaways. This is definitely one of the surefire ways to make the customers reconsider their exit and motivate them to place the order instead.

A/B testing

A/B testing is one of the important solution to all the conversion related problems today. The website owner needs to know the specific reasons where the website is not performing. In this efforts, the website owner can make use of A/B testing approach. Usually, it’s better to start testing the pages from the bottom part of the funnel as you’ll see changes in revenue more clearly. If it’s a successful change you’ll get more sales and a bonus. On the other hand, if the test fails, you won’t lose too much, because it’s just a test and you included only a sample of traffic.

Over to You

The exit rates of the website can lead to some unwanted results. Therefore, it is necessary to eliminate exit rates causes by using better approaches and optimizing the website for better results.

Avoid Top 6 Mistakes while Incorporating Popups on your Website

Popups still work if you know how to use them effectively to capture your visitors’ email addresses or generate more sales. But while incorporating popups on your website, you should know which mistakes to avoid and which strategies to put ahead to make your popup stand out.

Popup is one such marketing tool that can either prove to be a boon or a curse for your online business. This is why, for any retailer, it is important to understand the upsides and downsides of a popup.

How are good popups different from bad popups?

Good pop-ups do not irk your visitors. They contain relevant information and are well-designed to capture user attention. Bad pop-ups, on the other hand, contain a messy look, disturb the user flow and compels your visitors to take an instant exit.

The old and classical form of providing offers via email subscription pop up us has become obsolete. Moreover, it becomes quite annoying for the customers to deal with the subscription and email to redeem the offer every time and most of the time, customers are unlikely to avail offers through this approach. Therefore, the e-retailers need to change their approach in order to reach out to potential buyers.

In this article, I am going to discuss the top 5 mistakes that you should avoid while incorporating popups on your website.

Mistake 1- No defined time of the popup appearance

Timing is the key for popups to deliver good results. Do not trigger them too early or too late. If your popup appears too early, it will leave a negative impact on your visitors and distract them from their purpose in the very beginning. If your popup appears too late, you may lose out on your potential subscribers. Well, what would be the point anyway of setting up a popup on your site if you display it too late? Get the timing right.

Although there’s no specific time to argue upon for a popup to work the best, you can initially analyze the average time spent by the visitors on your store and then define the time for your pop up appearance accordingly. Moreover, you can choose to trigger the popup after a user has scrolled down the page to a certain percentage or when they are trying to exit. This way, your pop-up won’t be annoying and you can expect better results.

Mistake 2- Asking for too much information

For an eCommerce store owner, increasing the subscribers’ list depends mainly on how much information the visitors have been asked to provide. Some eCommerce platforms ask for too much information like first name, surname, email address, date of birth, etc. while some just stick to asking email address only. Yes, I agree that asking for much information helps to launch the email marketing campaign in a better way but to create a successful campaign in the first place, you need to have a list of sufficient subscribers.

Asking for less and relevant information can be the solution for you to get more subscribers and drive more conversions and sales.

Mistake 3- Hard to dismiss pop-ups

This is a very important aspect as far as your conversions are concerned. There are many websites where a user finds it difficult to dismiss the popup. Do not let this mistake happen in your store. Simply provide your visitors with an easy option to close the popup if they are not interested. A hard-to-dismiss popup can result in an increased bounce rate.

Mistake 4- Too much frequency of the popup

Do not ever get misguided into believing that displaying popups frequently will bring more leads and conversions. If you keep showing your popup again and again on almost every page, I am sorry to say but you will lose a great number of potential subscribers by making them extremely frustrated.

Try to display your popup like on every visit by the customer, in every one hour or one day. It will minimize the bounce rate on your store and ensure customer retention.

Mistake 5- No innovation

Pop-ups require creativity. The more creative a popup, the more the chances of a visitor turning into your subscriber. Unfortunately, the lack of innovation in the pop-ups has resulted in a downfall in the conversion rate. How can one expect better customer engagement and conversion, if the approach to interact with the visitors is very conventional? Therefore, the eCommerce store owners must use innovative ideas like Spin and Win pop up to create more user engagement. Spin and Win popup provides a gamifying experience to your visitors.

Mistake 6- Unwanted offers

Your popup means nothing if it doesn’t serve a valid purpose to your visitors. Well, no one is actually interested to become your subscriber unless you provide them something beneficial. Why should a user subscribe to you if your offers aren’t relevant to him or her? This is why your offers must be enticing enough to encourage your customers to subscribe to your newsletters or marketing programs.

Unwanted offers lead to low conversions and eventually lesser sales. So make sure to provide your best offers, or some amazing discounts and coupons through your popup to increase your email subscribers list and reduce conversions.

Conclusion
