Learn how welcome popup helps you to convert website visitors into registered users or customers
What is a Welcome Popup?
A welcome popup sign-up form is the first interaction a visitor has with your website. It is a simple yet powerful tool to capture email addresses, helping you build your contact list while keeping customers engaged. By offering a small incentive, you can enhance the shopping experience and boost conversions. In your Retainful dashboard (under Audience), create a separate list for add-to-cart popup signups. This lets you send targeted campaigns to these contacts in the future.
Welcome popups are proven to increase conversion rates by providing a clear call-to-action, helping turn visitors into subscribers or customers.
Troubleshooting: Why Isn’t the Popup Showing?
Your signup form or popup may not display due to the following reasons:
Already Subscribed: Customers who have already signed up won’t see the popup again.
Cookies or Identification: Customers identified by email (e.g., during checkout or a previous signup) won’t see the popup.
Logged-in Customers: The popup is hidden for logged-in users.
Frequency Settings: If a frequency limit is set (e.g., once per visitor), the popup won’t appear after the limit is reached
Note: If testing, open a private or incognito browser window to ensure accurate results. Ensure only one incognito window is active during testing.
