Aside from the actual content: before being able to read a single word, two different pop-up boxes appear telling me there is more content to read and that I should subscribe for more. Does this really work? Do they get increast readership by doing this?
- melomal 5y agoNo, it rarely works but FOMO is the worst with marketing people. Have been doing it 10 years now and I still refused to accept pop-ups as anything useful.
- LeifCarrotson 5y agoNo, most people are turned away. But they're not measured. What is measured by some marketing expert is that he gets a nonzero number of sign-ups tracked by this box the more often he shows it. That readership and revenue is directly attributed to him, conversely, readership for interesting articles and unobtrusive presentation is hard to quantify.
