Hey Joomlers, today I am going to share with you a trick to increase revenue on your Joomla website.
So basically, we will try to convert those visitors into customers or subscribers who are exiting from your website.
So now the question is how?
The answer is by triggering Exit Intent Popups when they are leaving your website so you can't miss the last chance to grab them.
What is Exit Intent Popup?
Exit Intent popups are popups that are being triggered at the time the visitor is leaving the website. So technically, it is the last chance to engage your audience before they leave your site. You can keep them reading your articles or browsing your website, or subscribing your newsletters or you can show them any offer for your products.
Typically, an Exit Popup includes a message, a call to action button or a form or may have videos or images. Moreover, if you want to convert leaving readers, you need to create attractive as well as engaging Exit popups so the user can engage with them. There are lots of ways you can use Exit intent popup to increase your revenue or performance of your website.
Collect Emails or leads
If you want to collect emails or leads from your readers or visitors without compromising with user experience, show them your opt-in form at the time when they are leaving from your website. This way, they will stay little more on your, and there are 60% chances they will fill their details in your opt-in form. This way you are increasing your leads and decreasing the bounce rate on your website.
Sales and promotions
You can use Exit popups for your e-commerce website and increase your revenue by running sales and promotions campaigns on Exit popups. With any reason, if any user is not purchasing your product and he is leaving from your website, you can show them a deal before they are about to leave your website and most probably they will convert if they will be interested in your product.
Survey
The survey helps you to improve your website performance and user experience. You can ask your users about their experience along with some other questions when they are leaving from your website. This will help you to gather information about their experience about your website or any product.
Warning Messages
Exit Intent Popups can be used to show warning messages to the visitors who are leaving from your website. For example, if you are running an eCommerce website and running a promotional campaign, you can warn your users that if you leave the website, you can’t avail the discounted price again or something like this.
Drive Traffic
You can divert your visitors when they are leaving your website to another website by showing them an engaging popup at the time of leaving your website.
