Popup Domination or Not?

WordPress marketing Feb 2, 2013 by Johnny 1 Comment

I’ve been an internet marketer for some time and pretty much torn between using Pop-up Dominator or not. Many websites have used it with great success and boosted their email newsletter sign-ups tremendously but still, I resist.

PROS of website pop-ups

  • it actually works
  • builds your email list very quickly
  • can help you increase profits

CONS of website pop-ups

  • annoying

My verdict?

I’m not going to annoy my customers. I think my content is good enough for them to come back and eventually buy my products after investing themselves in my site over time. I don’t see bigtime corporate companies using pop-ups and why should I? I can see smaller blogs and smaller businesses/websites that fail to make an impression in a crowded market but I don’t think I have that issue…at least not yet.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the article, good to see people thinking things through about what best fits their own sites. You may be interested to know that te latest version of PopUp Domination has “in-post” forms too as a response to your very concerns. These look like our popups but are appended to the end of a post instead. If you’d like a copy drop me an email and I’ll sort it out.

    Regards
    Billy
