Common Exit Intent Mistakes to Avoid

These mistakes can turn your exit popup into a conversion killer.

Showing on Every Page Exit

Exit popups should only appear once per session. Showing them repeatedly frustrates users and damages your brand.

Generic Messaging

Using the same "Wait! Don't go!" message that every other site uses. Your offer needs to be specific and valuable.

No Mobile Optimization

Exit intent works differently on mobile (no mouse cursor). Many popups break completely on mobile devices.

Too Much Friction

Asking for too much information (name, email, phone, company) when the user is already leaving.

Slow Load Times

If your popup takes too long to appear, the user is already gone. Speed is critical.

Exit Intent Best Practices

Follow these proven strategies to maximize your exit popup performance.

Offer Real Value

Give visitors a compelling reason to stay: exclusive discount, free resource, or valuable content they cannot get elsewhere.

Keep It Simple

One field (email) converts better than multiple fields. Reduce friction to the absolute minimum.

Use Urgency Wisely

Time-limited offers work, but fake urgency destroys trust. Only use real deadlines.

Match Your Brand

Your popup should look like part of your website, not a generic template. Consistent branding builds trust.

Test Different Triggers

Some audiences respond better to scroll-based triggers, others to time-based. Test to find what works.

Respect User Choice

If someone closes the popup, do not show it again in the same session. Persistence kills conversions.
