Exit Intent Popups

Exit intent popups are on-screen messages triggered when a user is about to leave a webpage, usually detected through cursor movement or tab behavior. Their purpose is to capture attention at the final moment and encourage users to stay, convert, or share feedback. Common prompts include discounts, lead-gen forms, reminders, or content downloads. This tactic helps reduce abandonment by offering value precisely when interest is about to drop.

For instance, an online store may show a 10% discount when a user moves to close the tab, increasing the chance of completing a purchase. Blogs might display a newsletter sign-up offer to retain readers as subscribers. When done right, exit popups feel helpful instead of intrusive. They're widely used in e-commerce, SaaS onboarding, and content marketing.
