Step 3: Configure Display Rules of Your Weebly Popup

With OptinMonster’s Display Rules, you can personalize your popups and make sure only the right people would see it.

You can target different offers to different site visitors instead of showing generic popup campaigns to everyone.

OptinMonster does this with targeting and trigger rules.

Targeting

  • Show or hide campaigns on specific pages
  • Create special offers for new or returning visitors
  • Tailor popups based on the visitors referring site, like from a specific social network

Triggers

  • Show campaigns after someone has scrolled a certain percentage of the page
  • Display campaigns only after someone has already spent time engaging with your content

Your popups are far more effective when they’re timely and targeted.

Today, we’ll look at one of the powerful display rules, Exit Intent®.

Exit Intent®

Do you know that 70% of the visitors who leave your website won’t come back?

Exit-intent technology detects when people are about to leave your site. Right at the moment, you can present them with one final targeted offer.

Exit popups are proven to boost conversions.

SnackNation converts 31.85% of abandoning visitors using exit popups.

Head over to Display Rules.

OptinMonster display rules

Find and select Exit Intent®.

OptinMonster Exit Intent Display Rule

Choose on which device you want to show your popup:

Exit Intent Choose All Devices

Now, you’ll need to choose the sensitivity level. The default is Medium.

This will control how quickly your exit popup appears. The sensitivity level changes the trigger for mobile devices. Low and Medium will trigger the popup when the visitor scrolls up the page. High sensitivity will create a back button trigger.
