all the popup does is confirm i was right to be leaving. its like letting the door hit me on the way out. also i accidentally trigger them while reading, and then sometimes leave.
- ldjb 10y agoI have visited websites offering services I was interested in, however the price was too dear. When attempting to leave the site, I was presented with a better offer, which I accepted. If you have absolutely no interest in the product or service in the first place, then a pop-up is unlikely to change your mind. But if it's just that the deal wasn't good enough, this strategy can work.
- basch 10y agoI agree. A discount or coupon is different than "sign up for our newsletter"
- Latty 10y agoExcept you could offer that price from the beginning, but you want to try and raise the value the viewer thinks the product has before hitting them with the real price. That's scummy at best, and would instantly make me never do business with you.
