Wait, don’t go!

Knowing how to design exit-intent popup that does the job well is basically like figuring out how to automate well-targeted lead generation.

Actually, it’s exactly like that.

Imagine, you open this post, it’s hard to find anything special, and you’re thinking about leaving.

Well, that’s exactly how so many of your customers feel when visiting your website.

You know well, that the attention span of a internet-surfer is low. Your website is like a new toy in the hands of a three-year-old. If you don’t grab its attention immediately, you’ll end up in a pile of browser history never to be seen again.

So, when everything else fails, knowing how to design exit-intent popup is your last hope.

This is the first post in 4 post series where you will learn the following:

1. Have a look at the exit-intent technology,
2. See the practical examples of what works in the real world,
3. How to design exit-intent popups that knocks your customer’s socks off.

1st Rule – Design is the King

First rule to remember when creating your popup is to make sure it fits seamlessly to what your customer experiences on the website in terms of design. You don’t want him to dismiss the message thinking it’s just another popup ad he encounters so often.

The design of Exit-Intent popup should therefore be in line with style of your website, matching the color scheme and typography to reasonable extent.

Good idea is to include logo of your company. That way you ensure that abandoning visitors treat the popup as a message from the website and not an intrusive offer.

Nevertheless, when it comes to exit-intent your popup should probably be in the middle of the screen and center of attention. There are only milliseconds between visitor deciding to leave and actually doing it. At that point, you have nothing to lose so go all-in!

Exit Intent Design Examples

The difficult task for your designer is to find the sweet spot between clean design, clear message, and a beautiful design.

Why it works?	What could you do better?
Seamless and clean design Use of transparency Intriguing round shape Focus on the 20% offer	Make Call-to-Action button more visible Make sure customer knows the offer comes from you

 

Why it works?	What could you do better?
Good design matching the website Focus on the offer Use of the “free” incentive	Shorten the text on CTA button and underline urgency of action

 

Why it works?	What could you do better?
Beautiful design with company’s logo Visible, incentivised CTA button Focus on the offer	Limit the amount of items around the popup, i.e. loosely floating mockup of the magazine

 

Why it works?	What could you do better?
Matching design Visible, incentivised CTA button Focus on the offer	Limit amount of layers on the banner (multiple elements visually stacked on top of each other)

 

Why it works?	What could you do better?
Creative, transparent design Focus on the “30 euro” offer	Make sure customer knows the offer comes from you Make CTA button more engaging
