💡 HOW TO BOOST CONVERSIONS WITH POP-UPS
Popups aren’t dead.
In fact, the top Shopify brands rely on them to grow lists, boost engagement, and drive more sales.
Here’s what’s working now:
Keep it simple: One field, one offer. Stanley grabs emails with 20% off, while Khy keeps it minimal and effective.
Segment early:
FashionNova asks shoppers what they’re browsing for (women, men, curve, kids, beauty).
Alo Yoga goes further—splitting by men/women and adding a cheeky “No, I’ll pay full price” button.
Yes/No popups: Give visitors control.
Anastasia Beverly Hills wins with “Yes, please” for 15% off.
Cocolab uses exclusives to keep users engaged.
High-value giveaways: Big prizes pull big attention.
Kosas ($100 card) and Arhaus ($1,500 card) show how giveaways can supercharge sign-ups.
Exit-intent saves sales: Carparts.com turns abandoning visitors into buyers with a 10% discount and alerts.
Why it matters: Done right, popups don’t annoy—they convert. They guide visitors, capture intent, and unlock more sales opportunities.
👉 Steal these strategies, test them on your store, and watch your conversions climb. Learn more here.
