Retention Begins at the Popup
The first step to long-term retention is capturing attention early—with smart, intentional popups that create a meaningful first impression.
Black Friday Popups Must Be Built for Speed and Scale
You can’t afford to test popups during Q4—brands should finalize and optimize their popup stack in July and August, not November.

Successful ecommerce brands personalize popups based on traffic source, device, location, and purchase intent—and see higher opt-in and conversion rates as a result.
On-Site Offers and Popups Must Align
Disconnect between the offer on your popup and your site’s banner kills trust. Make sure your popup mirrors your sitewide sale during Black Friday.
