4 best services for pop-up windows creation

Pop-ups are one of the most popular eСommerce marketing tools. In this article, we will explain in detail what pop-ups are, how to make them effective, and what services exist for them.

What is a pop-up?

Pop-ups are pop-up windows that appear on top of the main content of the site to draw attention to certain products and promotions. Pop-ups can have different calls to action, and their design and structure depend on this.

One of the main goals of implementing pop-ups is lead generation. A pop-up window should help a user complete the target action, but not annoy and cause a desire to quickly close the site.

What are pop-ups used for?

With the help of pop-ups, you can offer to subscribe to a newsletter, get a discount, or a promotional code. You can set up pop-up windows on different pages of the website in such a way that they are shown at the right time and do not overlap with each other.

Pop-up windows bring more effect if the following recommendations are followed during setup:

- the user should be able to close the pop-up immediately;

- pop-up must match your site and not stand out from the general style, not be too bright or intrusive;

- only one pop-up should be shown on one page;

- no sound notification when a pop-up appears;

- no pop-ups on the product payment page and pages with high conversion.
