Exit pop ups are messages displayed to your visitors when they attempt to leave the page. Instead of allowing them to bounce immediately, they’ll be prompted with a popup to hopefully catch their attention.
These popups are a powerful tool when generating leads, because it can turn visitors who were looking to leave into members of your email marketing campaign.
When done properly, this can increase your amount of leads by up to 5 times!
