Looking to learn more about exit-intent popups? You’re on the right page!
We’ve spent 6 years testing exit popups and advising top-profile clients on how to use them best to drive conversions. And now we’ve compiled what we’ve learned onto this page to help you get started! Let’s not waste a minute!
The exit-intent technology relies on mouse cursor tracking. When a visitor is about to close the page she’s on, she has to move her mouse upwards to reach for the close option. The exit-intent script detects this mouse movement and sends a signal triggering the popup to appear. We call this kind of popup an exit-intent popup or exit popup.
Short answer: Yes, they do. On average, exit popups outperform “traditional” popups by +5%. This result shouldn’t come as a surprise: Exit overlays don’t interrupt the visitor’s navigation and don’t have any negative impact on the user experience.
Among our top 100 clients, exit pop-ups’ average conversion rate is 3.93%. But there are huge differences between the top of the sample and the bottom. The conversion rate is greatly affected by the incentives used, the design of the popup and the additional segmentation rules that are applied.
On mobile devices, it’s not possible to track mouse movements. Instead, we assume that visitors are about to exit when they hit the back button or scroll up a little to access the URL bar. Both actions can be detected using a mobile exit-intent script.
