Step 3: Display Volusion Popup

Did you know 67.91% of shopping carts are abandoned on average?

That’s a lot of lost sales and revenue.

Fortunately, there’s a way to reduce that.

OptinMonster uses timed triggers and behavior personalization to display popups that are tailored to specific site visitors.

You can target coupons based on:

  • Visitor’s physical location
  • Visitor’s device they’re using to browse
  • Which page the visitor is viewing
  • How long the visitor has scrolled

And more.

Today, we’ll look at two display rules, InactivitySensor™ and Page Targeting.

InactivitySensor™

InactivitySensor™ lets you recover abandoning visitors with one simple popup.

This rule will trigger your popup when the user has been inactive for a specific period of time.

Scott Wyden Imagery used this trigger, along with Exit Intent®, to convert 21.06% of abandoning carts.

Click Display Rules at the top of the editor.

By default, your popup will appear on every page after 5 seconds.
