Popups #5: Triggers

This article is part of our series on Popups.

Let’s focus now on the “When to Display” section in the “Triggers & Targeting” tab of the Popup Builder. 

Creating relevant and effective popups is a combination of having an overall understanding of contacts’ behavior patterns and clearly specifying when to display a popup. Here are your options for timing and method:

• Exit intent: Show the popup when a visitor is preparing to exit a web page, as detected by mouse movement.

• Display after x seconds: Specify how many seconds to wait before showing a popup. For example, if a customer has been on the checkout page for two minutes, you may choose to send them a popup to see if they need help completing their order.

• Display after scrolling x percent: Show the popup when a visitor has scrolled down a certain percentage on a specific page. For example, if a visitor is reading through your blog post, you can send a popup when they reach the halfway point (50%) on the page. The popup could ask if they want to subscribe to more of your articles to stay on top of the latest news from your business. 

• Display after adding product to the cart: Can be used to cross-sell or upsell.

• Display after purchase completed: Another great opportunity for upselling.

• On hover element; On click; On custom event: With these triggers, you can specify any place on your website or any custom event you’d like to link to a popup. Enter the class or ID. to display the popup. 

With some thoughtful timing, your popups will create powerfully targeted customer interactions and more sales!
