Troubleshooting

My Floating Bar campaign is sitting on top of the header / navigation of my site instead of pushing it down.

The default behavior for the Floating Bar campaign is to push the page content down when the campaign is positioned at the top of the browser.

If you’re seeing the Floating Bar overlay your page content instead of at the top, it’s likely that your site’s theme or styling is interfering with the natural behavior of the campaign. For example, if your site has a sticky header or navigation bar this can result in the campaign overlaying that sticky header or navigation bar.

This can be addressed by adding the following Javascript code directly to your site. Be sure to update the code as mentioned in the comments:

OptinMonster has transformed our business. Before integrating their optins, our clients saw a 2% conversion rate from web traffic, which is slightly above the standard for their industry. With the integration of OptinMonster’s lightbox popup, exit-intent technology, split testing, and other tools, our client’s conversion rates soared by an unprecedented 500%. They attracted substantially more customers while spending less on digital advertising. Their success propelled them to the top of their markets, outperforming national chains and other medical spas with much bigger marketing budgets. Our client’s success in their market has distinguished us in our own. We are now one of the most sought-after marketing firms in the industry of aesthetic medicine. We know that the integration of OptinMonster, more than any other tool or marketing strategy, has supported this growth and achievement.

Through OptinMonster’s exit-intent popups, we have more than doubled our sales conversion rate. Best of all is the compound effect of using OptinMonster over a long period of time—more conversions mean more customers, which means more word of mouth.
