Exit-intent popups
📖 3 min readUpdated 2026-04-19
Exit-intent detects when the mouse moves to close the tab. Popup appears with an offer. Bothersome if over-used; valuable on specific pages.
When to use
- On blog content (useful for signup)
- On product pages with abandonment
- On landing pages as a last-attempt
When not
- Immediately on landing (annoying)
- On every page visit (fatiguing)
- On mobile (often poor UX)
Offer
Should match the page content. Content page → related lead magnet. Product page → discount or reminder.
