Pop-ups & Announcements
You can create a pop-up that appears when users first visit your site. The pop-up is created with our drag & drop builder so the possibilities are endless. It can be great for capturing visitors emails, embedding media or opt-in forms, displaying your latest episode or blog post, announce any major news etc.
Our built-in pop-ups & announcements builder is a premium feature that is only available on the Business plan or above. (Note - You can use custom code to add popups from 3rd party providers without the Business plan if you need.)
Creating a new pop-up
Here are 5 easy steps to add a new promotional pop-up:
- Visit the "Customize -> Popups & Announcements" screen.
- Enable the pop-up option ("Popup Display") to activate the popup.
- Click on the Edit Popup Data button to start editing your pop-up and add content.
- Set the screen width you'd like to use for displaying the pop-up. (in percentages)
- If you don't want the pop-up to display right away when loading the page - set a Pop-up Delay (in milliseconds)
A few important things to keep in mind:
- Popups on mobile are always set to full width (with some margins to keep it clean)
- Popups are being displayed once to visitors until dismissed. Then it won't show up for recurring visitors unless they start a new browser session or use a different browser. Displaying the same pop-up over and over again isn't the best idea so we make sure it's only loaded once.
- You can only build and activate one pop-up at a time.
- You can add any image, video or background image to the popup, but remember it's recommended to keep a small resource-size for improved page speed.
Adding a header top-bar/banner is possible via the "Customize -> Header & Footer -> Top Header" screen. It's available on all plans and can also be quite useful for promotions and announcements!
