Like many tools and media types, pop-ups can be effective or ineffective. Hello Bar has been helping large companies grow their businesses with pop-ups for over a decade. During that time, we've learned a multitude of best practices. Some of them are listed below:

Add value to your users: You need to provide value to your website visitors. For example, if you use a pop-up to direct a visitor to a URL that isn't interesting or relevant to them, you're not doing them any favors. Think about what you want a visitor to do and find a balance between that and what they want to do.
Test often: One of the benefits of pop-ups is their flexibility. So we encourage all our clients to test, test, test. Test different formats. Test different designs. Test different copy. With Hello Bar and other pop-up tools, testing is made easy thanks to excellent analytics, simple A/B testing features, and more.
Target different audiences with different pop-ups: Target different audiences bank database with different messages, incentives, and updates. You can target based on a page's topic, what you know about the user, the user's geography, and many other elements. Targeting can lead to huge performance improvements.
Match your brand to your popups: To gain and maintain customer trust, make sure your popups match your brand. It's not just about their appearance, but also the language and tone you use in your text.
Create urgency: Pop-ups are a great way to create a sense of urgency with things like expiring discount codes. Create a sense of urgency to take action with your pop-ups.
Find a solution with people who will help you: Find a solution provider who will help you when you need ideas or are stuck. The Hello Bar team, for example, has been helping website owners for over a decade, and we're proud to help our clients grow their businesses with pop-ups.
