Exit Intent Popups and OnSite Retargeting

Did you know that over 70% of visitors abandoning your website will never return?

OptinMonster’s signature exit-intent popup technology can help you convert abandoning visitors into subscribers and customers.

With exit intent popups, visitors see a popup message with your best offer at the precise moment they’re about to leave.

Exit popups are proven to convert an additional 2 – 4% of your visitors into email subscribers and paying customers.

You can use exit intent popups combined with OnSite Retargeting to show different popup messages to new visitors vs returning visitors.

These advanced popup triggers are highly effective in growing your email list, reducing cart abandonment, and saving you moeny on PPC advertising and retargeting ads.

In only 7 months, we added more than 95,000 names to our email list using OptinMonster’s Exit Intentâ„¢ technology. We strongly recommend it!
Michael Stelzner, Founder of Social Media Examiner See Case Study

Smart Page Targeting and Behavior Based Personalization

And the best WordPress popup plugin comes with advanced page targeting and behavior based personalization, too!

This means you can show a popup for specific page or section of your site, or based on users’ geolocation, or even when a visitor clicks a specific link…and so much more.

You can even show unique popups based on user’s past behavior such as: have they clicked on an existing marketing popup, seen another popup campaign, closed a marketing popup, viewed X number of pages, etc.

These personalization features of OptinMonster popups make them highly effective in improving your lead generation, increasing subscribers, and growing sales.

Using OptinMonster, I was able to increase sales $55,000 after capturing nearly 7% more leads with a single optin!

Popup A/B Testing, Email Marketing Integrations, and Popup Analytics

Unlike other WordPress lead generation plugins, OptinMonster comes with reliable A/B split testing and accurate analytics without slowing down your site.

Most of them use wp-ajax to setup analytics. This slows down your site and also results in unreliable analytics due to cache plugin settings.

Similarly, A/B testing in a most WordPress popup plugins is broken because caching plugins can skew the data.

We fixed both these issues with our superior infrastructure, so you can have reliable A/B testing for popups, accurate conversion analytics, and seamless email marketing / CRM integrations for your marketing (bonus: lead storage & lead backup are included, too).

i absolutely dislike Optinmonster since the very first time I had the chance to use it. There should be a way for users to block certain developers.

OptinMonster will market themselves as a company that offers setting up a free campaign for you, but they won’t follow through on their work and correct what they did even though it looks awful. And when ask them to resolve the deficiencies they have caused, they’ll tell you that they only “allow two rounds of edits”, instead of telling you from the start. I think it’s been more than two months now since the campaign development had been initiated. Simply not suitable for people trying to run a business.

i just recently started using OptinMonster. I contacted their support about a slightly atypical use case. The team were responsive and happy to help. It’s great to see a company take customer service seriously.

Nidhi at OptinMonster was fantastic in setting up our first popup for us – so easy/breezy and a great way to get an introduction to email campaigns. Thank you!

My brain is the butterfly type that crosses the flower garden seven times before it decides to land. The OptinMonster team paved the way for me to use them, giving me videos, making the dreaded “t” word turn into “done.” I’m SO very grateful for your patience and help!
