Do you want to create a personalized popup for greeting website visitors from Facebook?

Whether you’re running a Facebook ad campaign or just looking to drive more organic traffic, you can create campaigns targeted specifically to visitors from Facebook with a custom popup.

In fact, providing a personalized experience on your site based on referral traffic is proven to increase customer engagement, sales opportunities, and revenue.

In this tutorial, we’ll walk through the easiest way to create a popup on your site for greeting your visitors from Facebook.

But before we dive in, let’s get clear on why you should use this strategy in the first place.

Why Create a Popup for Visitors From Facebook?

The best thing about creating a custom popup to greet visitors from Facebook is that you’ll be better able to create targeted messages.

There are a few reasons why this approach will increase engagement on your site, including:

• Personalizing your messaging
• Grabbing your audience’s attention
• Boosting conversions and sales

With personalized popups, you can write more engaging “copy” because your offer is based on your visitors’ interests.

“Copy” simply refers to the persuasive language you use to get people to take the actions you want them to.

And the referral source can reveal a lot about your site visitor and their goals. Someone landing on your site from Facebook might have a different motivation for visiting than someone who’s come from LinkedIn.

This will all depend on your current social media strategy and how you use Facebook. But one thing is certainly clear: understanding when and why visitors come from Facebook will have a major impact on your conversion rates.

Put even more simply, a Facebook popup lets you show the right message to your audience.

So, how do you create a popup for visitors from Facebook?

The easiest way to do it is with OptinMonster:

OptinMonster is the best lead generation software for targeting campaigns based on where users are visiting from, Facebook included.

OptinMonster’s referral detection technology feature lets you display personalized campaigns to your site visitors based on traffic source. Plus, everything can be set up in just a few clicks.

This targeting technology detects when visitors have landed on your external marketing campaigns to reach your website.

How does it work?

1. You decide which traffic source you want to target
2. Then, your popup is triggered when that referrer is identified
3. You get new leads and grow your business more quickly

It really is as simple as that.

In fact, the digital marketing agency Whole Whale increased conversions by 100% when they ran a campaign displaying an optin only to visitors from Facebook and Twitter.

Apart from growing your mailing list, you can also use OptinMonster’s referrer detection to:

• Show a targeted discount or offer
