It is important to know that it is irritating for your visitor to see a pop-up while viewing the webpage. So, you should make sure that the pop-up appears at right time. The best way is to use an exit-intent pop-up.

This exit intent pop-up appears when the visitor is about to leave the webpage. It is done with the help of using web visitor tracking. On the desktop, the mouse movement helps in tracking in order to know whether the visitor is leaving the page or not.

On mobile, taping helps in identifying the exit intent of the visitor. These pop-ups are useful for getting quality leads without frustrating the viewer.

2- Click-activated pop-ups

These are also called click pop-ups. These types of pop-ups appear when the visitor clicks on a specific button or link. This button may be placed on the sidebar or at the end of a blog post. By clicking on the button, an email box will appear instead of opening another webpage.

This button should be stylish or attractive in order to get the attention of your visitor. By using this type of pop-up, your visitor will feel comfortable and will not feel frustrated.

These pop-ups require a small portion of your webpage for showing the email box instead of the whole screen. These pop-ups are effective to get the attention of your audience. These pop-ups are not frustrating as the whole page pop-up.
