Are you an OptinMonster customer? If so, you’ve probably noticed that the app is a lot faster these days. That’s because our product team has been hard at work, making small changes to the OptinMonster app that make growing your business that much easier for you.

But they haven’t just been working on background improvements.

Let’s take a look at some of the cool things you can now do with OptinMonster!

Campaign Type Switching

So, you put a ton of energy into creating the perfect fullscreen campaign.

But now you want it to be an inline campaign instead.

Yeah, you can do that. Well, you can if you’re an OptinMonster Beta user!

To change a campaign’s type, start by choosing the campaign you want to change. From the main design view, you’ll see a button at the bottom of the left-hand side menu with details about your campaign.

Click that button to bring up your campaign info:

campaign details

From here, choose the campaign type you want from the Campaign Type dropdown:

NoteOnce you change your campaign type, you may need to make some design changes.

Bonus: You can split test different campaign types!

To create a split test, click on the split test icon from the campaign dashboard:

split test campaign types

Next, enter notes, so you know what you’re testing and click Create Split Test.

Then, choose the campaign type you want to test using the method above.

Finally, make the other changes you want to make to your split testing campaign and click Save.

Now you can see if your audience responds best to your popup or slide-in (or whatever campaign types you choose)!

Mobile Switching

Similar to campaign type switching, OptinMonster Beta users can now change a regular desktop campaign to a mobile campaign just by toggling the Mobile Campaign setting from red to green:

Custom Scripts

All OptinMonster customers now have access to custom scripts. Adding custom JavaScript gives you even more control over your campaigns and you can use them for so much! Here are a few ways to use custom JavaScript in your OptinMonster campaigns:

  • Setting cookies
  • Custom validation for form fields
  • Loading additional resources (like custom animation libraries)
  • Language translation based on location
  • Custom fonts
  • Supporting 3rd-party tools
  • Custom Google Analytics events for more in-depth tracking

You can add custom scripts by going to Optin Settings » Custom JavaScript:

This lets you add custom JavaScript to your campaign without adding an HTML element. And, the script only runs when the campaign HTML is on the page, so you won’t need to worry about async loading.

New Campaign Templates

We’ve added six new templates so far this year! The templates are gorgeous as they are, but they’re also fully customizable (just like all of our templates). Here’s what they look like:

I hate popups, so I was hesitant to try one on my site. But the results from OptinMonster exit-intent popup speak for themselves. I doubled my subscription rate immediately without annoying my users. I haven’t had a single complaint. My only regret is that I didn’t start using OptinMonster sooner. I can only imagine how many subscribers I could have added to my email list! If you have a blog, then I highly recommend you start using OptinMonster. I’ve researched them all, and it’s the best in market.
