For web users, popups just aren’t all that popular. It’s not uncommon for website popups to appear out of nowhere and famously interrupt the user experience.
Using popups smartly though – like with exit intent popups – can actually lower your website’s bounce rate and even retain users who’d otherwise leave your site. Here are some examples of what popups are doing nowadays:
Finding you top talent: Let visitors and fans of your brand know you’re hiring to maximise the applicant pool for your next job opening.
- For example: Now hiring popup template
Generating more leads: Attractive popups attract more people to take action and actually shop on your website!
- For example: Limited time sale popup template
Getting more app downloads: Popups make for great marketers and really rally visitors to download your app.
- For example: Download your app popup template
Sounds great! But how do you build and then add a popup to your website? In this article, we’ll take a look at Poptin and Popupsmart to see which popup creator is best for you.
Both Poptin and Popupsmart have no-code popup builders. And both have easy popup types to work with and see what aligns best with your business goals.
What is Poptin?
Poptin offers popups in a few minutes and emphasises their ability to improve customer conversion rates. They use drag-and-drop design to add or remove fields, images et cetera. They have a strong range of popups that come gamified, mobile-ready, overlay the screen, and even in lightbox display (meaning the popup is illuminated against an opaque background). All of which are proven attention-grabbers and then attention-keepers.
To add, Poptin also offers page-level triggers (like time delay) as well as targeting (social media versus search engine traffic). Because anything you build can be A/B-tested inside Poptin, you can always get creative and quickly find out what works with your audience and what doesn’t.
What is Popupsmart?
Popupsmart has highly customisable popups for ecommerce outfits. Building begins by asking you in plainspeak what your business goals are – which is awesome. What has them standing out is their specialisation in popups as email-list growers. With popups in as fast as one minute, you can go into as little or much detail as your business needs when building.
With Popupsmart, you can also engage your audience using custom triggers and other advanced settings in what they aptly call Smart Mode.
