I’ll be honest, when googling this, there wasn’t a whole lot of information out there on Popups that activate when a user returns to the site, yet I feel like this is a necessary functionality to have. Of course there are different functionalities that connect to different users on your website. For this functionality, I would like to group users into a specific bucket.
In this bucket we have customers that:
Based on data, 88% of consumers pre-research products online before making a purchase.
A. A user arrives at your website in search a cool product that you provide.
B. That user is also researching multiple products across multiple websites before making their decision.
C. We want to target those users who are returning to your site after conducting their research. And at this point users are generally returning to your site to either perform more research and do a comparison between your product and that of a competitor. Or they are back to purchase your product.
D. Make the decision easier for your customers by showing them a discount popup on returning to your website.
E. Convert the customer with this targeted popup.
Summary: In this situation it is important to engage these users, and this will lead to an increase in sales.
