In the competitive world of online business, engaging your website visitors and converting them into loyal customers is essential.

Popups can significantly enhance user interaction, promote special offers, and guide visitors towards desired actions. You can do all of this using Pagecloud Popups, and you just need one line of code.
Why use Popups on your Website
Have you ever felt like your website is too static? Your website should be in constant motion and always bringing new business behind the scenes. That's why popups are a great addition as they can make your website more dynamic!
Boost Engagement: Popups are an excellent way to capture your visitors' attention, highlighting important messages, offers, or content that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Increase Conversions: Well-designed popups with compelling calls-to-action can persuade visitors to make purchases, sign up for newsletters, or take other valuable actions.
Generate Leads: Use popups to collect email addresses and other contact information, helping you build a robust customer database for future marketing efforts.
Enhance User Experience: Thoughtfully crafted popups can provide timely and relevant information, improving the overall user experience on your site.

Welcome Offers: Greet new visitors with a special discount or promotion to make a positive first impression and encourage immediate engagement.
Exit-Intent Popups: Capture the attention of visitors about to leave your site by offering a last-minute deal or asking them to subscribe to your newsletter.
Seasonal Promotions: Highlight limited-time offers related to holidays, sales events, or special occasions to drive timely conversions.
Content Upgrades: Offer downloadable resources such as eBooks, whitepapers, or guides in exchange for visitors' contact information.

Selecting Pages
Once a domain name has been configured, you can specify the pages where the popup or embed will be displayed. You can choose to display on every page, or only a subset of pages.
It's recommended to use 'Include pages' which allows you to specify individual pages to show the popup without making additional updates to your website.
Â
1. Select 'Include pages'
2. Click the '+ Add pages button'
3. Add the name of your page.
Note: You may also use wildcards in the form '/mypage*' which would match '/mypage' '/mypage2', etc.
