Frequently Asked Questions
What is a welcome popup?
A welcome popup is specifically designed to greet first-time visitors to your website. It introduces your brand, sets expectations, and often offers an incentive for joining your email list or making a first purchase.
When should a welcome popup appear?
Welcome popups work best after a brief delay (5-10 seconds) to let visitors get oriented. Showing immediately can feel intrusive, while waiting too long may miss visitors who bounce quickly.
Should welcome popups only show to new visitors?
Yes, welcome popups should typically only show to first-time visitors. Showing 'Welcome!' to returning customers can feel off-putting. Use cookies or visitor detection to identify new vs. returning visitors.
What should I include in a welcome popup?
A great welcome popup includes: a friendly greeting, brief brand introduction (1-2 sentences), a value proposition or offer, simple email signup form, and an easy way to close. Keep it focused - don't try to say everything.
How is a welcome popup different from other popups?
Welcome popups focus on first impressions and relationship building, not just conversion. They often include brand storytelling elements and set expectations for the shopping experience, while other popups focus purely on offers or email capture.
