Do you want to set up an exit-intent optin form for your site? If you want to capture more leads and try to make your visitor stay longer on your site, it is not a bad idea to use exit-intent technology and offer them another opportunity to sign up.

An exit-intent opt in form is a form that comes up on the screen when someone is trying to leave a website. Those forms are set up to show up when the software detects a visitor about to leave or close the window. At this point, they are shown a form that shows then an opportunity to sign up, get a discount code, and so on.

Let’s see how to set up one.

EDIT YOUR POPUP

Once this is done you are going to go to the edit dashboard:

EDIT THE POP UP

You have a column that allows you to customize the pop-up, colors, block, and everything else on the left. It is all very intuitive and explained on the go. In the Top bar, you have to set your settings for the following:

  1. Design ( the current window you are on)
  2. Display Rules
  3. Integration
  4. Analytics
  5. Publish

Once you are done with the design, click on Displays Rules:

DISPLAY RULES

In this window, you can choose when you want the pop-up to show up, for example, how long since the page loads, how many pages the visitors have to have seen, how many minutes he has to be inactive, and so on, you choose the one you prefer. However, for this tutorial, we will implement the Option, “When the Exit is detected.”

CHOSE THIS OPTION AND DECIDE HOW SENSIBLE IT HAS TO BE

You can set yo the sensitivity of the exit intent from the visitor. Once this is done, you have told Optinmonster to show your popup when anyone is leaving the site.

Continue to the next window: Integration. You can set it up right away so you can have an autoresponder or leave it for later:

SELECT THE MAIL PROVIDER

You an see that you can select the email service provider at your left. Again you can do this later or not do this at all.

Once you set this up you go to analytics, where you can set yo google analytics to gather statistics on your Popup effectivness.

WHAT IS EXIT-INTENT TECHNOLOGY?

Exit-intent technology is behavioral technology that tracks and monitors the movements of website visitors. It detects when they’re going to leave your site without making a purchase or leaving their information. It is designed to reduce cart abandonment and capture more leads.

Did you know that over 70% of people who leave your website will never return? In most cases, this means that 95% – 98% of your marketing efforts are going to waste, and you are losing more money in customer acquisition costs than you need to.

OptinMonster’s exit-intent technology detects user behavior and prompts them with a targeted campaign at the precise moment they are about to leave. Using this SMART behavioral technology, you can convert an additional 2 – 4% of your users into email subscribers and soon thereafter into paying customers.
