Exit Popups: What are they?

An exit popup appears when a customer is attempting to leave the site by dragging their mouse towards the close button at the top of the screen. They serve the purpose to have one last attempt to notify the customer or retrieve customer information. This information could be in the form of a promotion, a warning, a navigation, a questionnaire, or lead collection. The conversioner offers a good article on exit popups.

There has been much argument as to whether exit popups actually work or not. At UI Avenue we believe that it should be considered as a means and a last ditch effort to try and convince a customer to convert. As customers become more wise to how systems work, newer methods may need to be adopted in order to convert. However, we believe there is nothing to be lost in trying to capture a potential customer who is about to leave, so you might as well give it a shot.
